Garden View @ Cameron Highlands.

Driving up from Pulai, Perak-Cameron Highlands-Garden View is a 'must stop' place to ease ourselves, see how hydroponic vegetables are grown plus strawberries, orchids and flowers.

When you have skipped breakfast and you are 1500 meters above sea level up in the hills.

This piece of fresh strawberry strudel (flaky, creamy with sweet sourish strawberries) and a glass of fresh strawberry juice -Rm14.90 - was heaven sent ! 

The drive ended with a visit to a fruit orchard at the 10th miles Cameron Highlands road.

Durians ! Durians !

Kedai Makanan Laut Lai Fatt @ Cameron Highlands.

A one day escape from the sweltering heat in the city-we drove up to Cameron Highlands via Pulai-visited some vegetables and flowers farms-then stopped for lunch at Kedai Makanan Laut Lai Fatt located beside a Guan Di temple in Kampomg Raja, Cameron Highlands, Pahang.

A nice place to rest our weary legs and filled up our tummies before more sightseeing action..........etc


Parking is OK.

Pumpkin Spare ribs-looks appealing, sweet and meaty.

Steamed river Patin-not properly defrost rendering some portions to be uncooked-otherwise fleshy with no mud aftertaste.

Their signature Tofu-deep fried until golden brown-crispy on the outside-smooth and silky on the inside-topped with chopped dried shrimps/chai poh/spring onion and lard on a bed of sweet soy sauce.

Restaurant O.K. Tuck @ Cameron Highlands.

After visiting the market and a strawberry farm, we intended to go to Sg Palas Boh Tea Plantation and Factory to savor tea and scones.

Half way from the main road, the narrow plantation road was jam packed with cars and buses some want to exit while others want to proceed. It was havoc !

After half hours of waiting for the jam to clear with the help of "people power traffic police" we exited from it as fast as we could (do not go during the holidays).

With everybody hungry we went to Restaurant O.K. Tuck in Brinchang town for a deserving quick and delicious lunch before checking into our apartment at Tanah Rata.

Sweet and sour Pork-well marinated and of equal size-deep fried and then tossed in a Tomato/Vinegar sauce with sliced cucumber, cherry tomato and onion.

Mun Chee Sow-braised Pork knuckle with soy sauce until tender and soft to the bite-very fragrant and not too fatty-garnished with a combination of spring onion/cilantro/carrot and seated on a bed of fresh green lettuce.

Stir fried wild fern with Sambal chillies paste-crunchy and stemmy.

Clay pot Homemade Tofu with chopped Chinese long cabbage, mushroom, sweet pea bean and shrimp.

Lemon Chicken-well batter -deep fried chicken-chopped into bite pieces then topped with a zesty Lemon sauce.

Stir fried Oyster mushroom with Broccoli florets and strips of pork.

BIRDNEST FRUIT (ABIU)

My Golden fruit tree bears fruits again. I found out that it's actual name is called the Birdnest Fruit (Abiu). The fruit is sweet in taste and is smooth and jelly like in texture. Not widely available in the market, I got the seedlings from an orchard in Cameron Highlands and planted it in my backyard. This is the fruit of my labour!

Round and golden when ripe.

The white, translucent and sweet jelly like fruit.
