Cameron continues Part II

2nd day....

We have almost finished visiting the famous locations....

So we planned to visit the tea plantation! Upon coordinating with the hotel tour planner, we hired 2 cabs down. Alright, I must say the rides are really fantastic! Why? Their driving skills.... really super!

On our way in a cab to tea plantation and BOH tea factory.

Very postcard like picture~ of course lah... looks who's the photographer here. This is taken at a side of the mountain where the driver dropped us there for a while to take pictures.

There's a local drama called what huh? what....茶园香? Whatever lah... I'm in the plantation....surrounded by tea plants! Hey yo hey yo ar.....采茶去了! Where's my basket to carry on my back?

Fresh tea leaves! When you pluck it and crushed it in your palms, there's a tea fragrance with is similar to the tea bags we have at home.

Is there a deity up there? Hmmm....闭关修炼成仙...

Another artistic photograph taken by ME!
Went off to BOH tea factory.This is the 1st tea leaf tree at Cameron Highland.
Tea leaves being crushed!
How's the tea leaves are being packed in big gunny bags. The tea leaves scent~ WOW! 扑鼻而来!

Of course I'm just taking how the tea leaves are being processed and not that lady worker! It's quite hot in there.... but how come they still wear those thick clothings?

Splash! Down the tea leaves comes!

See the scenery~ Ohhh~ I wished I had built a house there. Every morning you can just see a huge patch of greenery~

Must have some tea to 配合 the scenery and atmosphere! Ooooohhhh... like some rich Tai Tais and of course a rich man (one of the taitai's husband) drinking 1st grade quality of Cameron Tea. Next time must bring my rich husband there... Will he like it? He MUST like it!

This grass jelly lookalike chocolate melted cake..... MARVELLOUS!
After visiting the factory and plantation, it's lunch time! We took the cab down to Tanah Rata. Went to Tea cafe for the lunch. Famous for backpackers! Cos I saw alot of handsome angmohs there with big big backpack.... I wondered when I can be like one of them? Must sign agreement with my mama~
**For those who are going: here's the website you can check it out.
Anyway I ordered a chicken pasta and strawberry milkshake! Fresh strawberries! Yummy!

These are the desserts. The Scone with the butter, cream and rasberries jam is famous! Taste wise.... OK lah.... But I still like the strawberry cheesecake! Not that is pink, it really taste wonderful! Errrrr.... as for the apple pie behind..... erm..... who cares? hahaha....

There's this fire place at the lobby of the hotel. This surely lighted up our Christmas mood! With the cold weather outside... I guess it's around 15 degrees? We tried taking pictures with it.... my camera failed seriously~ so the pictures are with my buddies... gotta wait for theirs then.
Wanted to have a self taken picture with the lighted up Xmas Tree behind.... This is the 3rd or 4th picture after trials~ Still bit shaky~ hmmm....

Finally with the help of the bell boy.... got a nice picture with the Xmas Tree behind. Lol.... quite lame though~

Our dinner! Yay! At a restaurant in the hotel. Very expensive but nice food! I felt like a VIP. Hee~ Well... our 1st dish...shark fins soup has been finished by us, thats why not in the picture...hehe~

Going back to Singapore on the next morning! I missed the scenery and weather! Especially the weather! My skin is much better after the trip.... hmmm... hehe.
End of Cameron posting.
