Saturday
♥ Cameron Trip, part two
Day Two, 27th Nov
My sister , Munny and I woke up as early as 7am to go for a morning walk and then have a game of badminton at the open space just outside the apartment we were staying. Mum and Aunty Suan were already preparing breakfast in the kitchen when we left the apartment for our morning walk. Breakfast was ready when we returned to the apartment. By then mum & dad and Uncle Robert have left for the market at Tanah Rata to get more food stuff and newspapers.

It was rather cold in the morning, and kind of misty. Nevertheless, everyone of us still went ahead for our morning shower. Our first stop on the second day was to the Sam Poh Temple. We always enjoyed visiting the temple, especially my cousins, Emily and Justin. Ever wonder why they like it so much? Well, that’s because they enjoyed playing at the fish pond. Imagine Justin, ever so brave, putting his hand into the pond and waiting for the fish to bite it, just like those in the fish spa except they put in their legs instead of hands. I found this temple quite extraordinary, though the weather was not really cold but we saw thin layers of ice forming on the flowers. This ornate Buddhist temple is built on a hill overlooking the lower Brinchang town.
Then, we moved on to visit The Lakehouse. We have never been there. This place was recommended for their tea and scones with strawberry jam after a search for Cameron attractions. The ambience and surroundings of this hotel was special and nice. Opposite the hotel was a super duper big lake but the water looks muddy because of the continuous rain during the past few days.

After another contented meal, we proceeded to one of the strawberry farms. We longed for strawberry ice sticks and finally we got to taste it. It was yummy!!
The visit to Cactus Valley was a last minute decision. Dad thought it would be good to take a look since all of us have not been there before. They have a very large breed of cactus from small to big, all species of flowers and those fruity tomatoes! Although we didn’t get to purchase any of the plants but we enjoyed ourselves very much at Cactus Valley.

Our next destination for the day was Boh Tea Cafe which was located in between Tanah Rata and Ringlet town. If by any chance you happen to be there, you should try its “Teh Tarik “. I especially like the strong aroma of the Boh tea. After enjoying the cool breeze at Boh Tea Cafe, our stomachs were growling again. So we went seeking for food at Tanah Rata again. After much deliberations, we decided to have our lunch at Rosedale Cafe. We sat upstairs and the view was superb. Daddy and Uncle Robert checked their mails while waiting for the food to be served since they provide free WiFi service.

Tomatoes !!!
Believe it or not, our stomachs were growling again!!! I guess it was because of the cold weather. We wanted something light for tea. There was no second thoughts, we headed for T-Cafe cuz they have a lot of choice like chocolate moist cakes, carrot cakes, cheese cakes, apple pies and scones. I can say they have the best cakes and pastries in town!! After treating ourselves with those scones, pies and cakes, we returned to our apartment to have a short rest before taking off for dinner.

Cream Scone
Banana Chocolate Cake
Strawberry Cheesecake & Apple Pie.
Dinner is never the same without steamboat in Cameron. Of course, it’s at Highland Restaurant. One of the best steamboat restaurant in Cameron. Need to book ahead, if not one would be turned away and feeling disappointed. I suggest you go early if you have not pre-booked. It was crammed with people during lunch and dinner. After stuffing up our empty stomachs, we headed back to our apartment. We could not take a walk at the night market because it was drizzling. And guess what? We went home for a game of mah-jong again!
