New Year 2012!! Are you ready?? GO!!

Finally the new year is here!!! How do you feel about the year that has passed? Enjoyed it? I certainly do. A lot of activities has been done and enjoyed the trips to the fullest. But that's the past, now to the new year new beginning! 

So how to start the new year? With great food of course. Started the journey around 7 plus towards centrepoint fear that the jam will begin since 1U is having a countdown.Surprisingly, there is no jam nor is there much car either. Darn happy with the traffic, we manage to reach centrepoint just in time for dinner. 


Go eat western drink tea!?!?!? No WINE?!?!?


Cheezy Pizza! This is good


Real CHEEEZZYY!!!


New Zealand Shoulder Lamb. This is real filling and it taste good. Worth the price!


Eager to eat


Huge portion


Better than PHD (Pizza Hut Delivery)


The name of the restaurant


Really enjoyed it





Overall, the restaurant brings a very nice environment though it is kind of small but nevertheless, the food is up to what I expected. GREAT JOB!! With a happy tummy and happy girlfriend, off we go to lookout point (With the expectation of a huge jam). And a huge jam it is, a number of cars ended up gave up their desire to see the fireworks in lookout point but I couldn't give up that easily. Finally, saw lots of cars have started parking so decided to park in as well and walk up. Luckily the walking journey is about 5 - 10 minutes so it is not that tough. And we manage to reach the place 15 minutes early!!

Great view


Happy New Year 2012

So ends the day of a great year and begin a better year!

A drive to Cameron Highlands

A great day where the sun is shining, decide to go to Cameron Highlands for some food and leisure. 

Unfortunately, on the way there found that it is actually raining. The whether there was instantly freezing. It could be easily below 16 degrees throughout the whole trip there. It's been a few years I've never been to Cameron Highlands. And it is interesting to actually feel the breeze since in KL mostly is hot, humid and with flash floods (No thanks to the SMART TUNNEL)

But anyway, started my journey in the afternoon and reach Trinkap almost evening. Once unpacked, it is time to find some food to fill the tummy.

Went to a restaurant which is about 5 minutes drive from the main road. Funny thing is the restaurant is named Tringkap as well. Called some of the dish which seems to be the local delicacies.



The restaurant where it is located.


The food is quite nice considering the weather. Here's a list of food that is worth to try.



Tofu. 


Pork with yam. This is nice although its small portion.        


Kampung Chicken. This is quite a healthy dish.


Yummy!


This is something unique from most of the dishes. Fried mushroom. And it is the fastest dish to be finished.


With all nice food, we must always stay healthy and eat our veges.


Fried fish. I find it normal since I don't really like fried fish.

There it goes for my dinner. The night is still young but unfortunately, it is raining. Nevertheless, I tried to go the famous Berinchang pasar malam where it is the biggest at Cameron. But yet, the jam is horrific. Hence, we decide to turn back and go home to call it a night. 

The next morning, it is still as cold as last night. But it is no fun to stay indoors, so decided to go to Tanah Rata to have a famous pancake store. This pancake store is owned by an elderly mute couple. But this would not deter them from giving one of the great pancakes. 


The little cafe where the place sells pancake.

While waiting for food


Finally the food is here and it's yummy!


Simple and delicious american breakfast.


They have mamak style meehoon goreng as well.


The main dessert. Slurrpp


It's finger licking good.

After a full beast, it is best to exercise ourselves and how else than to go enjoy what mother nature could give us. Fresh air, peaceful day and with loved ones.


Flowers everywhere


Flower of my heart


It's enjoying to be with you



Her family



Look what mother nature provides


Cool and fresh air

After spending the whole day out, it is time to eat again (I just love food). :) This time, it is at a simple kopitiam in Tringkap again. 


Name of the kopitiam


Appetizer?? lol


The fried rice actually taste good.


Smell nice too


I think Tanah Rata taste better than this one :P


Wat Tan Hor


MMMMMMmmmmmmm

After lunch, it is finally time to go back and pack to head home. Overall, it is a place where you can relax. Just smell the air and enjoy the scenery. Few things I never manage to try though, the Berinchang pasar malam and looking at sun rise. Well I'll leave that to another day.
