A Short Trip to Cameron Highlands A friend asked if I would like to join them to Cameron Highlands yesterday. It has been ages since I last went there. So, I said yes. We had a quick breakfast and drove from KL to Cameron Highlands. Soon, we arrived at Cameron Highlands. It was nearly 1pm and we made our first stop at the tea valley. beautiful tea valley Cameron Highlands, discovered by Sir William Cameron in 1885, is one of Malaysia’s most extensive hill stations. The size of Singapore, it occupies an area of 712 square kilometres (275 sq mi). http://en.wikipedia.org/ We did not spend much time there. We just visited a few farms. Fresh coral lettuce Cameron Highlands' famous strawberries Now, we can also grow grapes in Malaysia. After visiting the farms, it was almost 5pm. We had to meet up with some other friends in Ipoh for dinner. On the way to Ipoh, we bought some fruits from roadside stalls. We also saw many cabbages being planted openly by the road. No one steal them. The people in Cameron Highlands are very honest. We had a scrumptious dinner in Ipoh and spent some time at a night market. After that, we drove back to KL. It was already 11pm when I reached home. What an eventful day!

this post is a tribute dedicated to wenn @ Experiences (the post title 我的經歷 is My Experiences translated into Chinese).. i believe Wenn is one of the busiest women on earth, she takes care of both her shop and family, administers the FB page of her shop, gets active in FB and blogging, yet she has time to leave me comments!! i have met this nice and well-kept lady only once, but got lots of goodies that she sent to me on and off, that's so paiseh, haha!! dear WENNderwoman, thank you so much for your continual support albeit your busy schedule, do you like with this mimic of your blogging style?? hehehe.. :p

Eat It.... This year marks the 20th year I have been staying in this neighbourhood since I was in Form 5 - now you can do the Maths and know my age. I still remember the very first day I moved in, the neighbourhood was not as populated as today. I think it must be the LRT and increasing students of the nearby TAR College that contributed to the population. Eateries and salons dominate the shops in this neighbourhood... ...and this place at the corner still survives through times although many other shops have kept changing owners. Together with another coffee shop a few shoplots away, they have been the de facto places where I find food to eat should there be no cooking done at home. Last weekend, a few friends dropped by to visit and I brought them there for brunch. I don't usually order much but since there were a few of us, one of the friends suggested that we ordered more food to be shared so that she could try a bit of everything. I just went to find a table and let them order what they found interesting, afterall I have already tried all the stalls in the shop. The first that was brought to our table was this kampua noodles (RM4.50)... ...which looked quite promising. It was still hot and hence we were able to smell the aroma of the lard used to toss the noodles. It tasted good, however I somehow remember seeing the photos posted by this blogger that... ...it comes with just char siew and minced meat but not with fish cake slices. Anyway, probably this may not be the most authentic ones like those from its origin. Perhaps someone may want to PosLaju some over to me after reading this? Dijamin sampai esok. *Hint! Hint!* But if someone is not sending, I think I go and kill myself liao. Bye-bye cruel world!!! Sobssss!!!! Next that came was this char koay teow (RM4.30) served on a piece of banana leaf which smelled so good... ...but tasted just okay. Not the best that I have eaten - at least not as good as those I have had here and here. I would say there were a lot of dark bits that were scrapped off from the wok and they surely didn't look appealing to me. Eyewwwwww!!!! The pan mee in soup (RM4.70) sold by a couple from China came next... ...and would be a nice choice on a cold morning. Tasted okay though I would prefer they have served the anchovies separately in a sauce plate. One of the friends saw how they made the pan mee to order and decided to go for an extra... ...which got us this dry version (RM4.70) that I suggested to go with the fine thread version of the noodles. Despite being a little soggy and oily, we found it better than the soup version, though not better than that I cooked at home. I have had this before and thought it was a little below its usual standard, probably because of the crowd that morning. And lastly, this was the prawn noodles (RM4.80) that I often like to have... ...and of course, recommended to the friends. Indeed tasted very good with the very flavorful soup and I like it also because of another reason - whole prawns (albeit small ones), pork slices, half an egg, handful of beansprouts, kangkung, and delightfully homemade browned shallots to garnish the noodles. Unlike many places which would omit or substitute any of the above with other more readily available stuffs from supermarket shelves. No, thank you. I would always like to add in the sambal provided into the soup... ...that would greatly enhance the flavor and add more body to the soup. I know that would be a little unhealthy for some people. *Wink! Wink!*. Not all the great but good enough to fix my cravings for prawn noodles, as the best prawn mee I have tasted so far has closed down due to the owner's personal issue. It was so sweet of the friends to drop by and pay me a visit. Overall, we had a great catch up over brunch with nice and relatively cheap food. Do the Maths and the total may not even be enough to buy a meal for one in hip restaurants. Tsk! Tsk! Anyway, we will do this more often, won't we?

this post is a tribute dedicated to suituapui @ ...Still crazy after all these years! (the post title 依然瘋狂 is Still Crazy translated into Chinese).. needless to introduce this very famous blogger, the Food Mayor of Sibu, and all his nice food i guess?? this ex-teacher may sound stern and cocky and sometimes self-pity in his words, but trust me, if you have met him in person, you will find him a very nice and gentle-spoken person whom everyone likes!! dear Arthur, thank you for always teasing me and how do you like with this parody of your daily post (of course my food surely aren't nicer, and my England no standard, right??) huh?? kekeke, wink wink.. :p
