Day Trip to Cameron Highlands

With my mum, we went to Cameron Highlands, driving down from Penang...we follow the GPS setting to the highway towards Brinchang...

Along the winding mountain road... beautiful greenery along the way..


Quite a long snaky road... but lucky the weather is just nice..


Cultivation at the mountain slope...


We arrived at Kg Raja, Cameron Highlands... about the peak of it already...
Our first stop....

Weather is cooling... I like it..


The flowers along the staircase....

Hey... is real.... looks so fake, it's unbelievable......


The shop is selling strawberry coffee premium roast...woww.... good local stuff!!!

Local Cameron planted mini honeydew originated from China... looks very appetizing..


Saw this flower seed....my favourite purple color... so attractive, I like it so much... but I dunno her name.... -__-


We went to the ever popular Ee Feng Gu Apiary where the locals rear the bees and develop the local purest honey that everyone is crazy about despite the expensive price of it.....


Cute little bee :)

Mum trying the fresh honey from Ee Feng Gu Apiary... mum says very good....very pure also... So she ends up buying 3 bottles.....


The vegetables look so darn fresh and colorful.....


This is the Jambu Jeruk locally produced.... only found in Cameron Highlands..

This local Jambu Jeruk... with bright beautiful perfect green that we thought is something fake...we tried the samples, surprisingly tasty... :)


This.................. is planted dry Cordyceps, or more popularly known in Mandarin as 冬虫草...

It doesn't looks like the one we buy from local Chinese herbal shops becoz this is planted...it is fatter and is white....those we always see outside which is thinner and dark brown coloured is so called the wild Cordyceps...

However, people believe that the planted Cordyceps are very good as well, and alot cheaper compare to the wild ones...

Mum buys a lot so that she can make Cordyceps Chicken Soup :)


The roadside market @ Brinchang, selling all sort of stuffs...


All the fresh fruits and vegetables in the market.. and the price is cheaper too...


Fresh and brand new local honeydews...


The corns so fresh looking...it must be sweet!! Not like the ones we see in supermarkets... looks like dying.....


Mum searches for these colourful beans.... she says these beans are very good to health... they usually take this to make soup too....


Local planted strawberries.... so fresh, so red, so beautiful :)


Purple cauliflowers!!! Have you seen before??
I really never seen purple cauliflowers before.... the ones selling in our market is always just the white cauliflowers...


The purple ones rarely seen in the supermarkets... even if there are some... they don't look this beautiful and fresh at all......



Real fresh poppy flowers dye into rainbow colours, Beautiful ;)


Twinkle stars!!! Sparkling, isn't it?


Aikkkkssssssssss...................... Traffic Jam @ the mountain road of Cameron Highlands...!!!

Too many visitors on this year end festive season.... even Singapore cars are driving into Malaysia and driving up to Cameron Highlands....

Although have to endure some traffic jams here and there, it is a very nice trip and we have bought the items we want :)

Some farny side tracks.....


Malaysian Engerish and Malay translation is still pretty bad huh... and very embrassing... especially seen in popular tourism destinations like Cameron Highlands...
Who can understand 'Woksyop'? I think people can understand 'Workshop' better...

If Malay doesn't have this word... use lah Engerish.... direct translation to 'Woksyop' is just so dumb-ass lame.......
