This huge cactus is for display only.. Not for sales... In chinese feng shui, I heard cactus is not good due to the thorn... If you life not strong, then the thorn of cactus will bring harm to you... SO believe it or not? You decide..

We arrived just late and its just almost the time to close so I had great time driving in to the tea center... The road is in between the tea plantation and very narrow... The road only able to fit one car and some of the points able to fit two cars side by side... Imagine if it s on Peak Season day.. If you driving skill just so so only, dont try it... 

There will be a tour to around the tea production factory and its free.. Roughly the tour is about how to process the fresh/raw tea leaves become tea... After that, you can enjoy the mini exhibit about the equipments... You may enjoy a sip of Boh Tea with spectacular view which overlook the tea plantation... Then dropby at souvenir shop for a pack of BOH Tea (assorted packaging)..

This place is a MUST visit place at Cameron.. Beside the TEA PLANTATION... The tea center is location at the hilltop which overlook the tea mountain.. You will be amaze by the tea center building structure..  it is half hanging building structure.... Once, I saw this picture at one of the architecture magazine...

Strawberry Moment Dessert Cafe located at Kampung Raja Cameron Highlands. If you are going to Cameron from Simpang Pulai, this is the first stop on your left side. So you definitely will not going to miss it.

Strawberry Strudel.. For desserts lover, you MUST try this... The strudel consist few thin layers and its crispy.. One bite, you can taste very strong butter flavour inside your months... I dont know how to eat this strudel.. Either you eat like BURGER or SANDWICH but you will spoilt the whole piece.. Or you eat layer by layer... Perfect combination Strudel + White whipped cream + strawberry + custard cream...

My sister truly enjoy the desserts

MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodle

MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodle - its a hot topic in the country now... Everywhere you go, people talking about this... Stock being snap just in second.. Demand increase tremendously and also the price.. First I heard RM4.80 per bundle, then now even got people selling at RM10.00 per bundle.. 1 bundle is 4 packs.. 

Previously available at Penang selected place like wet market or mini market.. Due to high demand, now also available around Malaysia but yet still selected store and limited stock.. Lucky you if got stock.. 

My friend manage to help me buy 2 bundles and finally I can give it a try...

Penang White Curry Noodle

Looks very normal like usual instant noddle.. The noodle just normal size like MAGGI mee or MAMEE mee.. The pack looks big only.. 

Ingredient

1 pack of chilli paste, 1 pack of non-diary creamer and 1 pack of seasoning powder.. Yeah.. not many instant noodle give chilli paste.. Probably this is the specialty of this noodle that stand out among all..

Original look - Penang White Curry Noodle

Originally the packing just come with 3 packs of seasoning and noodle... A lots people misunderstood that there is Tou Fu Pok or Prawn or Kerang inside... That is just extra side dish that people put into it...

You can smell very fragrant curry while cooking... I leave the bowl aside for a while, the smell really "wangi" that makes you want to eat it faster.... The taste really delicious.. You can feel it is very localize... Next time I will put half of the non-diary creamer... If put whole pack, its taste a bit milky for me... The noodle quite Q but can enhance it... 

Overall taste good.. Worthy to give it a try...

Anyway, how much you willing to fork out for this noodle as price increasingly quite much compare to the harga borong.. Well, its up to individual...

Water Crest Valley Cameron Highlands

Cameron Highlands is belongs to Pahang state.. All the while I thought is Perak because from my kampung, just took about 1 hour to reach... My father like to go there and mostly is day or half day trip... Especially when the new route started operate.. New route means from Simpang Pulai...

On 7th February 2014 @ CNY day 8, my dad, sister and I went for a short visit.. This is my first driving journey to Cameron.. I was a bit scare and not confident because the steep road.. But I want to give it a try... Yeah !!! Its not that difficult to drive to Cameron.. and that day was a perfect day due to not crowded... Easy for my dad to walk around with the walking stick... 

We took lunch at Water Crest Valley which is our favorite spot at Cameron Highlands... Its located at Tringkap and almost reach Brinchang.. My parent love the water crest there and I start to like water crest after taste it here... My mum like to boil water crest herbal tea or soup which I really dont like because of the smell and the taste of the vegetable.. Plus the thick "batang" when you bite it... its just so old... 

But at here, the water crest very young and doesnt have that strong taste.. So I like it.. plus the cooking style is different from what my mum use to cook... Beside here also has Charcoal Steamboat... Imagine, the weather so cold and windy, having the steamboat.. so perfect.. But provided you have the time.. Because charcoal is very slow for the food to cook well..

Water Crest Valley

On the way to the restaurant

 Well done daddy... Even its not easy for you to go down and get up.. You manage to do it with our support...

Water Cress Herbal Tea - RM5.00

The herbal tea too sweet for me.. If not overall I like it... Its seems quite a big cup.. I think sharing for 2 pax is enough.. Otherwise you will bringing half cup when leaving...

Fried WaterCress with Garlic - RM18.00

 There are three types which is Fried WaterCress with Garlic or Belacan or Beancurd.. You may order all three just for tasting purpose.. LOL...

Dumpling with WaterCress Soup - RM18.00

I recommend this especially if you like soup based... Its will warm your body at this cooling and windy weather.. The soup really nice and it doesnt salty... Very refreshing..

Fried Handmade mee - RM18.00

 Its looks instant maggi noodle to me.. But the taste OK... Not really recommended to order this...

Fried mushroom - RM18.00

The mushroom really big.. But too bad, it is not that crispy.. the boss recommend us to order this as the mushroom just pluck from farm.. RM18.00 for this plate, a bit expensive for me... 

My sister and dad...

The view is spectacular as you facing the watercress farm.. If you dining here, you may visit the farm and downstair for free... Otherwise you need to pay RM1.00
