Cameron Highland, we went!

Posted by Picasa


YYYYY


Boh Plantation at Sungai Palas is really, really, really breath-taking.
The weather, the air, the girls, the tea, the scone...
Let just say that the whole atmosphere makes me don't want to leave the place!
I could sit there for hours doing nothing - maybe just daydreamingly flipping magazines or read a book while sipping hot tea alfresco.
Too bad we were having a tight schedule.
I ordered a pot of Palas Supreme (orange pekoe light tea from Sungai Palas Garden).
I am not much of a tea fan; and this tea doesn't have the slight bitter after-taste which is just nice on my bud.


YYYYY


We managed to visit both Boh & Bharat teashops.
But I am definitely giving Boh A++ for the tea and scones and the ambience.
 The scone was just nicely reheat so that the butter melted and blended into it and releasing a freshly bake aroma!
I can't say the same for the other teashop; maybe the guy didn't really reheat the scone.
Ooh!  I didn't really like the guy because he messed up my order with other customer - tell me how hard it that to differentiate Teh'O and strawberry tea.
Yeah, I only ordered teh'o because the guy didn't answered me when I asked for their best-selling tea.
Shame on you, I would never go there again.

Bharat's scone

YYYYY

Yes, I did bought some potted plants like parsley, mint, lavender and halau nyamuk.
The sellers told us "it can survived down there."
Let's wait and see.
And lastly, bunch of postcards for my postcrossing addiction!

YYYYY

Cameron Highland, we go!

We girls have been hyper-actively discussing about it at work.  Yup, office hour is the best time to have our sneaky discussion because...  it is so fun doing something against the rule / job description.  rawr!!!!  So this would be our first trip together, so, so, so excited about it!  Khaty is in charge of the bills and expenses - so all the ringgits will be processed by her.  Ing is our designated driver; but of course me and Azida can take turn driving, Khaty is totally out of the equation because she prefers driving auto car.  Heehee!!!  I'm still screening for the places to go and hopefully we can squeeze it within the 2N/3D.

I'm personally wanting to:

  • Try the tea & scones at Cameron Valley Tea House and/or T-Cafe - maybe I will just sit there for hours and enjoy the scenery and the fresh air and the... tea & scones, of course!  Maybe take some photos, yeah!
  • Tea Plantation; maybe Boh Plantation at Sungei Palas and again, Cameron Valley Tea Plantation.
  • Herbs at MARDI - buy parsley, basil, cilantro & all other funny named herbs despite me being a kitchen hazard.  LOL!!!
  • Buy postcards - I hope the souvenirs shops stack loads & loads of it!
Okiedookie, don't kill me just because I didn't say I'm so wanting to visit the rose garden, cactus valley, go self-picking strawberries when these are the obvious reason people going there.  Yours truly will tag along with the girls - it would be more fun that way, wouldn't it?

Since we've just got our annual leave approved - Ing & I were quite anxious while waiting green light from the other two girls' boss - I can start packing my stuff now.

The source stated that the temperature in April is between 15.8 to 23.3 degree C.  Man, it is not April fooling me kind of chillness!  And 22 days of raining?!?!  I'm definitely bringing an umbrella!

So excited!
We girls are planning for a holiday; although we haven't decide where to zonk out yet - I feel in love almost instantly when I saw this while browsing for the accommodation:

In their very own description: "...French Doors opening out to our beautiful garden."
How tempting is that?!  Very!  Absolutely!  Positively!
And it fits our budget very well.  Purrrrr... FECT!!!  Girls on a shoestring getaway!

(Back to searching-mode.  Bye for now!)
