CH: All about strawbery

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Still about Cameron Highland and our family visit to the highland. While walking around Cameron Highland, I noticed two things that become an icon of Cameron Highland: the tea and the strawberry. 

Wherever we went, we could see strawberry, either in the form of the fruit itself or being 'transformed' into chocolate strawberry, strawberry key-chain, strawberry pillow etc. And mostly everybody talking about strawberry. Some were talking about picking the strawberry from the plant themselves. And my wife, kept talking about 'Opah Strawberry' that she heard from her friend. 

Looking at this scenario, we wished to experience picking the strawberry ourselves. And after venturing into several strawberry farms, talking to some locals, only on the third day that we managed to find Opah Strawberry Farm. Actually, the location of Opah Strawberry Farm is just about 10 to 15 minutes driving from where we stayed. During our visit in Cameron Highland, only Opah Strawberry Farm allowed visitors to pick their own strawberries, while other farm still didn't allow the visitors to do so.

CH: Beautiful flora (3)

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Close-up photography of flowers is one of the most suitable subject for beginners in photography. Not only due to the beauty and vibrant colors that give the impact, but also due to immobility of the subject. Therefore, photographer can have their time necessary for good and proper.... exposure, composition, aperture opening as well as shutter speed. Even, they can shoot as many as they want at a single subject, from many angle they can take without worrying that the subject will move or run away to other places.

And Cameron Highland is one of special places that can offer various kind of beautiful flora and fauna. So, please find the photos of the flora taken during my visit there.

Thank you for viewing.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

The following photos were captured at the entrance of one of the strawberry farms at Tanah Rata. Although, we wished to see and experience collecting strawberries in the farm, we were told not to do so at that moment.

Thus, we have to do something else. For me, the surrounding gave me opportunities in capturing beautiful images for my camera. 

Thank you.

CH: Beautiful flora - orchid

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Cameron Highland is also famous of its beautiful flora especially the orchids. Maybe due to the cold weather, CH has various species of orchids, being one of the attraction to Cameron Highland, especially for orchid lovers.

The following are photos of some of the orchids.... happy viewing... 

I have not seen this species before....

beautiful... are they...?

Despite the orchids, they also sell rotten wood. I wonder for what....

However, finally somebody explained that the rotten woods are for the orchid platform / base. Whatever they are, with some decoration, they looks beautiful, attractive and unique.  

Thank you.

CH: Strawberry ice-cream

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

Still at Cameron Highland. Of course there is no snow-fall, but to us who are used to the warm weather at the lowland, the morning weather on the highland was cold enough. We had to put on our jacket and sweater or otherwise it will be chilly while waiting for the sun to show itself.

However, despite the cold weather, something 'cold' that make our mouth water. It was delicious ice-cream with fresh strawberry in it. And we have to try it.  Malaysian are known of their creativity on food decorating with tasty, yummy food. And some call Malaysia as a food paradise with plenty of delicious food and juices to be tried.     

And we tasted the 'strawberry ice-cream'.... custom-made in Cameron Highland...

Look so delicious....

Irfan Naim wanted to taste some...

Two siblings share the 'cold, mouth watery' moment....

Don't expect him to care the surrounding while having his delicious moment....

However, Iman still with his favorite chocolate ice-cream....  

Thank you for viewing.
