Vegetable Farms in Cameron Highlands

2017 Trip to Malaysia (Day 3: Cameron Highlands).........Part 3

Fresh Air, nice weather, green mountains, simple home style cooked food....

After visiting Tan's Camelia Garden , we spent the day in Cameron Highlands exploring gardens, mountain trail and nice food of course.

















































We went on the Jungle Walk number 3, which is more family friendly.















Following the trail walking, we visited a nearby Strawberry Farm.














Visited the Kea Farm Market, near Brinchang Town.
The stores sell mainly the local produce such as tomatoes, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, sweet potatoes, beans, flowers and toys.









In the evening, we returned to Brinchang Town, where we had our dinner. There were many restaurants, many of which family-owned.

Our favourite dishes were mixed vegetable with tofu and meat in claypot, stir fried pumpkin and other stir fried local vegetables (long bean, Chayote leaves (Chinese name is 龙须菜) and omelette. There are also various meat dishes such as black pepper venison, sweet and sour meat, lemon chicken and many more.





Steamboat eateries are everywhere.

We visited (by chance) a fascinating garden, owned by the Tan couple. Their lovely green haven is hidden in the Town of Tanah Rata, next to a forest trail.

The entrance doesn't look like much, but further in, a mini paradise awaits.........
