… story continue from Part 1 here

We was kinda disappointed to found out that the Strawberry season has just over. Our hope of letting the kids hand pick the Strawberries was dashed, not to mentioned the hand pick of cherry tomatoes and also the carrot. I think November/December is the best month to go. We proceed to the hydroponic vegetable plantation.

My Mom never encourage us to eat hydroponic veges. You should try to understand how a hydroponic works. All the chemical in the water and such. I rather consume veges that grows on natural mineral from the ground minus the pesticide la, of course.

The farm is really a beautiful sight with all the greens.

Each time I asked Prince to take a snapshot, he keeps on stretching out his arm. Either he is mimicking me or the scarecrow. I will have to ask him to stop or else all the photographs here will have him looking like a scarecrow.

I love this family shot, minus me *sigh…

Don’t ask me how it happens. Out of the blue, no. 1 lifted no. 3 tight and then no. 2 follow suit by lifting up no. 3 foot. The slipper sure spoil the picture but look at them, they are so crazy, so happy, so silly, so full of me 🙂 .

Want to know something? If not because Prince wanted to get a bite, we would have miss this vegetable farm cos it is situated somewhere up on the hill. Even though it is not that high up, we (the adults!) was pretty tired chasing after kids in the strawberries farm. Yea, laziness is such a disgrace sometimes. Shame on me.

Passing thru the vegetable farm, we are at their cafe. Lots of food stuff made from strawberry or rather have strawberries in them. For example the strawberry shake, waffle, fried strawberry ice-cream, salad bar, icicles, you just name it they have everything there.

Deep fried strawberry flavoured ice-cream

It sure looks very appetizing to see her drool like this. Priceless!

pssst…. off season strawberries are sour. Very sour indeed!

After the quick bite, we headed downhill again. On the way down, we took more photographs.

 

I can’t recalled the name of this farm. It is quite big though. Most of the picture you saw here is shot mainly here.

I did some shopping here after observing their prices. The strawberry jam – cheapest price I saw RM6. Cherry tomatoes 5pkt for RM10. Pearl sweet corn 5 pcs for RM10. Even in Klang pasar malam, they are selling at 3 pcs for RM10. I think it is a very good buy. Not much choices for fresh strawberry since I hardly saw any. I just simply grab one big box at RM10 for the sake of buying. You know, going to CH isn’t complete without buying the strawberries. So yea, even though the sizes is quite petite I just bought one box. My initial plan is to buy about 6 boxes for my fondue party. Looks like the fondue party will have to wait.

Driving back to Tanah Rata, part of the sky turn orangy.

My first attempt shot of the sky in a moving vehicle. Not bad yea?

Our steamboat dinner:

 

See that? Charcoal! We ordered food for 3 person at the price of RM45. They have prawns, octopus, jelly fish, tofu, beancurd sheets, meat balls, fish balls, chicken, pork, noodles, vermicelli and lots of greens! That’s all about it. A bit over priced but at least we enjoy the meal in the cool climate.

Well, something surprised me tho. While I was half way saying grace, Prince intercepted and he said something very touching. I tried to recalled what was that but sorry yea, my memory failed me again. Teheehee…

Something like… “thank you Daddy for bring us to Cameron Highland. We are very happy….”

We headed back to the hotel at 8.00pm. The kids have a roll in the bath tub, busy spitting custard apple’s seed (we bought that from home not from CH), munching Twisties and watched three quarter of Terminator before all of us peacefully drifted to dreamland at 10.30pm.

The next morning we check out from the hotel before catching our breakfast. We tried to look for the carrot farm where you can hand pick them. Lo and behold…. I think I’ll have to drag along my eldest sister in December. At the meantime, no carrot pic though.

We stopped by Smokehouse to take some photographs. Err… they all turned out quite crappy.

Something or someone is always not right. For example Baby Princess. She kept on running away from the camera. Or either that, she refused to smile.

… sometimes showing us the ‘half-dead’ face.

… sometimes the dSLR makes me look so fat.

But with Eldest Princess, everything is just a breeze.

 

Crappy pic again. The shadow is not supposed to appear on her face. Ah, well…

 

 

 

Last stop would be the tea plantation before we headed home. We stopped by Bharat again. The kids is sure happy to run around the tea tree. Lets leave the pic to do the justice.

No. 1 & No. 2 was seen running down hill. I’m waiting with capture no. 3.

 

Did you see anything wrong in this picture? Where is her slipper???!!! I think she can’t catch up with the 2 eldest and decided to abandoned her slipper. Don’t ask me why she is on slipper. She just loves slipper!

 

And then, they was singing some big aeroplane and small aeroplane song in Mandarin and was seen going round and round.

errr… crappy right? This is just a tea plantation not some playground or anything! I can’t imagine why they enjoy themselves so much here.

“Ok, time to go home!”

And she slip her foot into the slipper and pick up another side of her slipper. She decided to walk all the way to the car in that manner! Gosh, she always did something crazy to make me faint!

All in, we had a great time in CH even though it is just a short trip. And we ask Prince if he wanted to visit CH again. His answer is………………. NO! Why? Because this little boy has carsickness on the way up and down CH. Coming down was bad for him cos he threw up twice. Daddy say we should go back CH in December. I ask, “How about next year December?”
