Cameron Highlands Family Trip

Odw to Cameron Highlands & Marble quarry

Last 2 weeks ago, we were invited by papa's close friend & families to Cameron Highlands for a short weekend trip. I was excited, already thinking of the cool weather, scones, scenery & strawberries!!! haha..i was also happy to know that i'll be seeing my dear family friends' kids, Sin Yi & Hau Hau. hehe...

Strawberry Park Resort

Before arriving Cameron Highlands, we had lunch somewhere in Ipoh. We arrived Strawberry Park Resort around 3 ishpm. I was looking so sleepy and abit uncertain about the whole area as i've not been there for so many years. The last time i was in C.Highlands was like a kid? hehe..going up the hill wasn't so bad as i was making sure my head was covered with my hands and making sure it doesn't move so much. I get motion sickness easily but i managed to reach the top feeling happy and easy. But i think my face gave it away as my eyes were like sooooo sepet, showing my 'baru-wake-up-face'...ergh.

Upon arrival, we were served with these delicious food!!! SCONES! hahaa.....i also ordered strawberry milkshake and there was chocolate cheesecake brought by one of the families.

The Strawberry Park Resort is owned by my father's friend. It's a family business and i really like the place. Very well maintained and so relaxing. Being there just took away all my stress and i was really happy somehow. How can i NOT be happy??? Just before this Cameron trip, i just had my Melbourne trip!! OMG!!! I had an early big break from work beginning of the year already. Heavenly peace...hahaa.

Dinner at James Morrison Terrace

When you go to town in C.Highlands, apart from going to Starbucks, you can also check out the local restaurants and cafes there. With the cool weather, it's nicer to sit and enjoy food and drinks with great companionship while enjoying the out-of-the-resort view.

One of the places for dinner that you can go is....

The little cafe is unique with colorful settings and decors. Not only that, the fusion menu goes hand in hand with the whole colourful & funky concept.

That nite, we had so much food! Steamboat & mainly seafood dishes. Let me show u the pics!


Yummy slurp-slurp steamboat

Fried Fish with sauce & another fish dish

3. Sweet & Sour Prawns

We had 2 types of fish and 3 types of prawns dishes. Seriously it was just seafood that nite. Fresh seafood and wholesome of goodness! hehe..everything was just different in terms of tastes and presentations. Like i said, colourful and funky.

I know what's coming after the big meal...
(This is sooooo my fave part...!!) DESSERTS!!!

To really end the whole goodness in the tum-tum, a cup of warm green tea would just do the job. Ahhhh...

Not forgetting, great companies and friends are a must!!!



I really like the setting of this cafe. So colourful and also cheerful to be taken in photos!!

My parents with friends and the owners of the cafe. Meet Uncle Jim in white shirt on the left and Aunt Alice in black on the right pics. Apart from owning the Cafe Downtown Hotel, they also own 2 other eateries.

Roselane Coffee House

So dear friends, if u happened to be in Cameron Highlands, do check one of these eateries ok. Great place for food, hanging out and just chill the cool weather away!! heheh...

Apart from sight seeing and consuming yummy food, here's what you can do with a bunch of friends, family or anyone! Charades!!!
We had our famous session of charades that nite. hahaa..it's my family's trademark of getting warm up or having serious fun.The best thing about this game is that everyone, young and old can join in to play! A person's skills can be shown during the game. hahahaa...

Papa the organiser

The 2 teams competing

Apart from staying indoors, we had much fun outdoors too.
Jungle tracking!!!! OMG, yes i went jungle tracking and it was really fun, tiring and good!


View from our apartment





It was a 2818metres of craziness, walk, climb, jump, slip, tumble, fall, trip and much laughter!!! hahaa...the result? I had a good morning walk and much good, fresh air! Haaaa...u guys just have to do the jungle tracking. Worth your trip to Cameron Highlands, no joke!

After the walk, with that empty tummy, u can go to James Morrison Terrace and get lunch. What we had that afternoon was the Thai lunch. Ohhhh...the food pun sedap gila!




After washing up from the walk, for those of you who loves to pamper and relax, Mandrayu Spa will do the job! *wink wink...
(I had the body polish and whoaaaaa it was really ticklishly nice...hehee)



Strawberry chocolates served b4 the lights out! How chick is that?!!

Just before leaving back to PJ, we had a chance of checking out the strawberry farm.





Tea plantation

While odw on the winding roads, i managed to capture the tea plantation...so pretty!
I hope i've tempted u to plan a trip there. Get your family or friends or both...way cooler and fun!!!! Don't forget your camera!
