It's been a long and boring holiday for me to stay at Ipoh for two weeks. That's why I came up with a plan to drive to Camerons. I discussed with my friends a few days ago and they too agreed to go up for a one day trip.
Woke up at 8ish in the morning, took a refreshing bath before picking the guys up.
I handed Colby my camera and he took all kinds of pictures on the way. Signboards, my car interior, scenery and more.
As we arrived Kampung Raja, it was almost 11am. We were starving by then and headed to the shop my mom recommended for lunch.
The food we ordered were not bad for a total of RM72 only. Here's what we have ordered for our lunch.
The salty vegetable soup was good. Ah Choy ate something that was very salty and sour and made a very funny face. However, I only got the picture of the after effect. Was laughing too much.
Here's the boys... Enjoying the last of our meal...
Here's me and my attire!!! Uncle say I very strong, I can stand the cold... HAHA...
After all, the weather up there was 20 degrees Celsius and drizzling all day long...
Ah Choy was too cold as he was in shorts, so he lent my warmers (gloves and earwarmers). But there's a catch. It's not any normal warmers. HAHA!!! Take a look at his pictures!!!
Enjoy this short video we made along the way to Boh Tea from Kampung Raja.
Boh TEA Plantations!!
However. it was crowded and we were stuck in a jam on the way up because the roads there are so narrow to the extend we have to take turns to get through. It didn't take too long though. We killed time by shouting "Merry Christmas!!!" to some of the cars which passed by with their windows open. It was fun to see their expressions though. I also made a little video during the stuck situation.
Enjoy the scenery!!!
It started drizzling again and so we opened my umbrella and it opened too far back. It overturned instead. LOL!
The path to Boh Tea Cafe and factory.
They all stood that way waiting for me so I had to snap a picture. So cute.
Look at how cold it was! Mist on the mountains!
Some of it was SMOKE! ^^
Then, of course was time for TEATIME!!! I ordered a few cakes for us to share. EAT EAT EAT!!!
Chocolate melt.
Butter Lemon Cake
Strawberry Tart.
My hot chocolate and Choy's Palas Afternoon Tea.
Da boys enjoying themselves...
Group pic!!!
My camwhore...
We then took a small tour ourselves around BOH.
The TV room to introduce how Boh tea is made.
The old mean machines...
Then, we entered the factory on our own without a guide. It was opened and no one was around to supervise anyway.
Since no one was there to introduce, I did a simple non-helping tour myself. HAHA...
Before leaving, we took more pictures...
Next up? Buy food from Kea Farm!!! Strawberriessss... Corn... Potatoes!!!

There was also a jam at the parking lot and it was RM3 per parking. The guy told us that there were no free parkings available along the road but we decided to give it a try instead of paying the insane RM3. True enough, we found a parking and it was not too far from the market neither!!!
Here's my fav store!!!
Of course I could not go off without at least a box of strawberries every time I come up.
The only thing not attractive enough for me to spend on.
After buying all those food and indulging on it again, we headed to the next stop, SMOKEHOUSE!!! Few of my pals have not been there before therefore it was worth a while.
We ordered some afternoon tea sets and inA dulged again!!!
A dalmation decided to appear as we waited for our order. It sure knew how to pose! DAMN POSER!!!
Here's our delicious tea set with SCONES~!!!!! YUM!!!!
And of course the boys started pulling out their phones to use the wireless...
I love this pic below... LOL!!!
In the loo... ^^
We proceeded to Tanah Rata right after paying the bill to Starbucks!!!
You can see from the picture that only 2 of them ordered drinks...
As they were busy with their phones onlining in Starbucks, I went next door to ask about the jungle trekking services so I could try it out next time.
Finally it was dinner time by the time we were done. We had steamboat at my usual place, You Hoo restaurant.
And it don't stop there!!! We had more food from Pasar Malam before going back to Ipoh.
Super yummy Fried Potato balls!!!
Jagung Bakar??
Dai Gao Min Malay style!!!
flower shaped candies
HONEY!!!
Fruits
Some random weird t-shirts I saw...
On the way back to Ipoh, we saw all the farms with their lights on. It was such a grand sighting!!! It was indeed romantic also! If only I had watched it with someone special... It was really spectacular, better than any fireworks display! Do check it out if you happen to travel to Ipoh from Camerons during the night...
Was so super exhausted I KOed on the bed after my shower... This was just one SUPER TIRING BELLY BLOATED, STOMACH BURSTING DAY!!! IT'S JUST EAT EAT AND EAT!!!!!
