Being a tropical country, it’s not easy to grow strawberries in Malaysia. Cameron Highlands is probably the only place which mass produced the juicy fruit in the country thanks to its higher altitude and cooler temperature.

The Cameron Valley Tea House was the first stop of my Cameron Highlands trip on July 11. Located beside the main road (between Ringlet and Tanah Rata) and overseeing the Bharat Tea Plantation, the tea house is a perfect place for tourists to have a first glance of what Cameron Highlands has to offer…

Will be having a short vacation at Cameron Highlands in coming weekend. CH is a popular holiday destination in Malaysia, famous for its cool weather, lush green, tea plantations and strawberry farms etc.

Will take the chance to have a blogging break as well; the blog will not be updated until July 20, CU all again then… [image courtesy of Sykez]
Cameron Highlands travelogue
Dined at the New Restaurant Ipoh Chicken Rice in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur last weekend. It’s a branch of a famous restaurant (in Gasing, PJ) which has been operating since 1977; this one was opened a couple of years ago.

Dinner a couple of weeks ago at K10 claypot chicken rice restaurant in Bercham, Ipoh. K10 is one of the Malaysia’s most famous restaurants specialises in claypot chicken rice, a simple yet tasty Cantonese delicacy.

I’ll be guest blogging at MTV Iggy, MTV’s new branch for global (mostly Asian) pop culture and infotainment for the next few weeks.
This blog will be updated as usual; some of the stories here will be cross-posted at Iggy, and I’ll write a few extra stuff for the folks there during my stint.
Hope that the short project will benefit both parties and Asian pop culture fans; check out my updates at Iggy.
