Cameron Highlands - Part 1

After much planning, and some last minute shifting of dates, 11 of us managed to make it up to Cameron Highlands for a weekend getaway. We had like an itinerary planned up (even a pilate session!), with 3 cars making it to Brinchang and Tanah Rata.

We left Kuala Lumpur around 7:00am on a Saturday morning (I had to wake up at 5:30am!!! [@#$*&^*#] to make it in time for the meetup point at 6:45am)! Felt like a zombie with only about 3.5 hours sleep the night before (last minute packing muh!).

But even before getting there, we detoured to "nearby" Ipoh for Dim Sum at the same outlet some of us came last January for a "foodie" trip (which I didn't manage to blog about). For those who have also been on such a foodie trip to Ipoh, guess where this was!?! As usual, the place was packed, and had to wait abit for a table to sit the 11 of us.

We had over 40 "luhngs" (or baskets/plates) between us (that's equivalent to almost 4+ dishes per person) with copious amount of chinese tea. I especially liked the egg tarts, but didn't manage to snap a picture before the dish disappeared into the hungry mouths. Salivate and enjoy! :P

Onward ho! to the highlands... (to be continued...)

I hope you didn't get car sick on the way up to Cameron. I almost puked all the duck leg noodles, wan tan mee and yam kok on the way uphill!

Hey eddy. 4 "luhngs" is average only. Out of the 11 of us, only 2 guys. Some girls want to keep fit, so eat even less... and ah, not really 4 "luhngs", cos' like the fried carrot cake (quite big plate) also. Still, for a guy, not that much'lah. :) The highest record I saw was a girl who ate 12 "luhngs" all by herself. Wow! :P
Kepong got ah? Where ah? Not sure if the Kepong boy will bring or not oh...

Hey gina, no'oh. Didn't get sick. :) Duck leg noodles, wan tan mee, and yam kok thingy will come later (on the way down)... :P
