Cameron Highlands Post

Cameron Highland Trip.

Went to Cameron Highlands last weekend. Not much on the town cuz didn't go to the town in Brinchang or Tanah Rata. Anyways, here are some of the pictures we took during the trip.

Scouting for places to take photos. Cam whore....whahahahaha

1st stop. Looking at flowers and flowers and more flowers.

Hydroponic Lettuce. Yummy!! There's red lettuce too.

Kea Farm Market. Lotsa flowers and vegetables. Stopped here to get vege for steamboat later. :P

View from atop Gunung Brinchang. The hike up was awesome but tiring. However, it's well worth it. The view is simply breathtaking.

Fern. Seems to me that there's lotsa fern trees. Must be the cold weather.

Another fern tree I think. Very tall.

That's Gunung Brinchang. 3KM up.

There'll be more pictures. Lazy to edit it.

Long Boi

Birthday Boy.
No cakes, but one big bowl of fish balls. Steaming hot. And surprisingly delicious. I don't usually like to eat fish balls. But this is nice and the soup has a tinge of liquor in it.

Chi lei.. I ordered 'hai lei'. So damn bloody embarrassed. Nothing special.

When my friend ordered this dish, we were like...WAT? Why order this? Nothing special wan. haha. Boy of boy, we were so wrong. The fish ball is very 'q' - springy. And the soup is simply irresistible.

Had to let him take the 1st bite. haha.

Fried prawns in flour. How do you call this dish. 'He Chnih'. Crispy.

Stingray. Not 'Hanga Hu' is 'Phek Kia'. The flesh is very juicy and has better taste than the average stingray used. The gravy is spicily nice. haha.

One of the two crabs that we ordered. What can I say. I like crab with big ass - 'what do u call that' claws'? hahaha...

Hold it up. Like a necklace that you can wear.

What was left of the crab. Almost nothing. haha

Clean Thoroughly. Thanks to our huge appetite.

Can't resist a group photo. I think we are photo fetish. Not me. I'm not. I dun usually like taking photo of my fat face. :)

Ok..So we are fucking vain. :P
How's the food? The food is nice. The place is kinda hard to describe. And I forgot the name of the restaurant. All I know is the place in in Long Boi ... somewhere in Air Itam/ Farlim area. Yummy!!!

Bukit Genting - The Verdict

2 weeks ago, went to Bukit Genting for dinner. Apparently the thai restaurant is quite famous. My verdict is in. hehe. For directions there, can refer to the maps below.

The road up to the restaurant was steep. VERY STEEP!! But the view was breathtaking. Can't take photos when going up. Two hands on the steering wheel. If not, I'd be hurtling down the hill. Don't want that to happen. I think the reason why the restaurant is appealing is because of the view. "Romantic" labeled on through and through.

The entrance at the foot of the hill which is situated quite hidden from the main road. Might miss it if didn't look carefully. It says "Bukit Genting Eco Tourism".

Omelette with stuffing a la thai. There's cucumber, carrots, peas, and corn. We ordered a small plate. For a good reason, it wasn't bad. Just not that great. I bet my grandma can do one better.

Fried KangKung. Now this is interesting. And tasty too. I liked this dish the most. And there's hidden 'dynamite' in the form of cili padi. Nearly bombed my mouth if not for my sharp eyes. haha. Actually my fren told me about it, if not. Urgh...Don't wanna think about it.

Otak Otak. This dish is disapointing. A little too dry. And not as fragrant as I thought it would be. Partly because the missing indgredient, 'chai ko kam'. Ask ur mummy what's that. I dunno the english equivalent. And it's seafood otak otak. 2 prawns only? Come on... can do better la.

The appetizer. What's this called?.. I think it is called mengkom. Something like that. I like the sauce in the middle. What you do is use the leaf and wrap everything in it and then top up with the sauce. Yummy.

The reason why the place is so popular despite the mediocre food. The sunsets! The view is simply beautiful. Stunning.

Balik Pulau town. Nicely nestled at the foot of the hill overlooking the sea.

I think this is Teluk Kumbar town. I think.
The food is not as nice as what some of my other friends mentioned. But the view compensate it hugely. For a moment, you'll forget about the food and just stare at the open space with the sunset. Then when it's dark, you'll realise that a huge chunk of your money is spent on climbing up the steep hill and enjoying the sunset.
My friends said it is an ideal place for couples to enjoy. hehe. Gotta go find me one now to enjoy.
Hahaha.
