Cameron Higland Trip Part 1

Day 1 (6th December 2008) We stop over to have our breakfast at Pun Chun restaurant at Bidor, Perak around 9.30am. This restaurant is rather famous for its duck noodles and ‘Siew Bao’. I ordered herbal duck drumstick noodles while Daph ordered Pai Kut noodles. The Pai Kut is a letdown but the herbal duck is damn delicious bootilicious cowabanga. The feel of eating this bowl of duck noodle was exactly the same I had on 20th October 2006. Yup, I was there 2 years back with my friends. I love it so much. Besides that, we ordered the famous freshly bake 'Siew Bao'. What a nice breakfast we had! Not to mention the sweet seedless guava selling outside Pun Chun is a heaven made too. Pun Chun Restaurant After the scrumptious breakfast, we continued our journey to Simpang Pulai toll before going up Cameron Highland. I would have use Tapah road that will pass thru Lata Iskandar waterfall if it's not raining season. There is a lot of news lately on landslide. After careful consideration, I choose Simpang Pulai road as it's safer and easier to drive uphill. We reached Brinchang and check in at 12pm at Chua Gin hotel. The first room they gave us was a letdown so we ask them to change and add additional Rm60 to new block. It's acceptable for the new block of Chua Gin hotel. We had our tea time at Fong Lum Restaurant and the food taste bad. The hokkien mee seems a little uncooked and the bitter gourd soup are totally raw. It's just like they boiled the water first and later throw in the bitter gourd. Fong Lum Restaurant We walk around Brinchang and later to the pasar malam. Take a stroll along pasar malam and fun fair. We bought fried carrot cake, mee goreng, CH sweet potatoes, hot dog and the famous Cameron Highland pearl sweet corn. It's pricey at Rm2.50 per stick but the taste is so sweet that it can be eaten raw. Now that's what i called a sweet corn! Cameron Pearl Sweet Corn. Funfair We ate at our hotel with the wheather estimated at 16-17C. By the way, it's raining since we arrived a CH non stop. Chua Gin Hotel
