~A Warm Trip to Cameron Highlands~ (Part 3)

5/21

Good morning~!! =)
We were so excited and eager to continue our trip, despite the lack of sleep yesterday night (I believe).
Without delay we packed our stuff, checked out, ate breakfast (dad insisted and we children hafta gave in...haiyo...), and again, we were on the way to our next destination.

The Sixth Stop -- Rose Valley
It was my idea to visit Rose Valley first thing first in the morning, because I guess the roses should look more prettier with the morning dews.

Sunflowers work the same as sunshine... Brighten up my day
Alvin =.=" I think he's too "wu liao" ad... =.="
The Seventh Stop -- Bee Farm

It has free entrance. It's my first time and I was curious to know how bees produce honey. Here are some pics taken in the bee farm...

A box as the shelter of the bees...
Look at all the worker bees, working so busy buzzily...
Posing with a bee statue... Yeah my mommy is the queen of our family~!!=)
It's kinda sad to say that we did not took as much pictures as we did yesterday. Everyone focused more in visiting than taking photos already.

The Eighth (and last) Stop -- The Vegetables Garden

It was located a little downhill, and so we arranged it to be the last station that we should visit before returning home.

It was here that nobody even bothered to snap photos, because we were amazed with all the stuff here (Kinda wasted leh...). The lady owner of this farm was so kind to take us for a tour in the farm, introducing to us one by one the veges that they plant. We were also allowed to taste some of the veges and fruits, and it's very helpful because we don't hafta curi-curi pluck them to eat. Hehe. Her generosity was heartfelt. Thank you.

There were some veges (which names I couldn't remember) that could only grow here in Cameron because of the weather. And they were safe to be eaten raw too, like the peas, which I never thought it could be eaten raw previously. Most of the veges here tasted sweet somehow.

We were also introduced to the first generation strawberries, a.k.a. pure strawberries, which meant they grew without any "kacukan". They look quite different from the red ones we normally get in the market, which according to the lady are third generation strawberries. These first generation strawberries do not look tasty because they are small, and red-yellowish in color. They do not grow as lush as the third generations strawberries.

We were also introduce to the Miracle Fruit. It was called Miracle Fruit not without a reason oh... After eating it, everything will taste sweet, even lemons. Wow! We also saw a kind of vege that look like red pepper except it was small in size. It was the most spicy chili in the world, called the Devil Chili. A tiny bite on it could make you sweat profusely. Later on we were shown some "xiang liao", spear mints that smells like toothpaste or the mint flavored chewing gum, tiny flower buds that taste like black hacks, the original CK's perfume leaves (amazed me), lavenders that are used to produce Johnson's baby lotion, the leaves that smell like Tomyam, etc etc.

Only one word could describe my feeling after this overwhelming visit. "WOW"~!! And I realized there were so many things in life that I don't know about, and getting to visit places will be able to help me widen my world. Yeah we should organize more trips!! Hehe.

3:30p.m. We hit the road back to Taiping.
Sayounara Cameron Highlands~! ^.^
