tapah road around 3-4 hours
simpang pulai road around 2-3 hours
actually kea farm is not a farm
it's just a morning market

and a place's name
beside equatorial nia

Actually, cameron highlands is a very bery boring place :/ unfortunately.

if you wanna go and relax, have naps and stuff, this is the place to go lah.

if you're in for some fun and adventure, i dont think so. you like plucking strawberries? biggrin.gif

i dun find the place boring
it's a great hangout place for us living in the cities to breath some fresh air and release our tension
in fact i actually goes there whenever i got free time

According to this map:

[attachmentid=166775]

I should pass by Tapah exit before Simpang Pulai exit, so I just ignore Tapah and take Simpang Pulai exit after Tapah lor... thanks for the information dude!

My gf wanna go mar go with her lor...  tongue.gif
*
yep, ignore tapah exit
go straight until simpang pulai exit on ur left
after toll turn right to the main road, the junction to the hill road is on ur right again
forgot which junction but there aren't far from the toll

QUOTE(lOvEbItE @ Dec 15 2006, 09:54 AM)
From the map seem like Tapah exit road is nearer to Brinchang compared with Simpang Pulai exit wor, is the map misleading or what?
*
distance wise, tapah is nearer, but the twist and turns are making the journey slower and dun forget the buses and lorries, but more scenery, and higher chances of land slide (touch wood)
safety wise, simpang pulai road is wider and less turnings, less secnerary, need to go thru kampung raja which is another small town (sometimes the road is a bit slow)

Kpg Raja? thats pretty far.... and the town smells of manure.... sad.gif. What is good there? maybe I pop in to try on one of my hibernating escapades.. due real soon...

Hehehe.. for me my brekkie in CH is roti canai at tanah rata... and I lurrrrve the teh tarik there early in the morning.. and late at night... its fresh tea aroma is fantastic in the cold thin air... smile.gif.

Whereabouts opposite Tanah Rata town? Mayflower is good value for money, tried the other one Hong Kong or Kowloon steamboat.. sigh... small portions and not as tasty...

The other thing I normally buy fr CH is honey... I normally get it from this guy who will even deliver it to KL for me nowadays if he comes down... smile.gif. Thats what I call great service... His honey has done miracle to my gastric. Not promoting... shhh.. kekeke..
*
i usually have my lunch at kpg raja on my way up and on my way down,
from brinchang go there need like 15-20 mins minimum
if got trucks or buses even longer

erm.. u know there's a new row of stalls at tanah rata ?
opposite traveler's pub/bistro
then opposite this new row of stalls (across the main road) is a garage (i think)
u can look for the steamboat restaurant by entering the junction, just around 1 mins drive from the entrance

honey, where can get it?

Talking about food in CH, way back in late 90 or early 2000, I alway hv my lunch at a stall opposite Tanah Rata Post Office, that was when they tear down the stalls & build thw white elephent taxi/bus terminal.

There is one particular stall operated by Chinese handicapped (deaf) couple....and really luv the pancakes & the chinese fried noodle/beehoon..reasonable too)...But right now, since they built the new taxi terminal, dunno where is this handicapped couple is...any idea where they are?

jeremy0 did mentioned about the deaf couple selling pancakes on the previous page

Added on May 17, 2007, 9:54 amheard tht the nightmarket in brinchang opens every night on school holidays. anyone from cameron can confirm this? many thanks..  biggrin.gif

for school holidays, yes
mostly they will open as the tourist will be more than usual
but dun expect they will be as many stalls as friday/saturdays one

let's say u have finished ur lunch
i think better head straight to sg palas tea plantation
they're closed on monday

then all the way down u can go to uncle sam's farm, multicrop market, kea farm market, cactus point, cactus valley etc etc

i normally will spend 2 nights at cameron
more resting time and less rushing
why rush like u're in the city?
relax relax like the cameronian is good tongue.gif

eventhough i have been there for countless times
but i still visit all the places over n over again

can't help
never take buses before

hotel iris is recommended? coz i read it somewhere not sure if its LYN bout them not issuing receipts when customer check in then asking them to check out the nx day saying they oni paid for a nite when they actually paid for 2/3 nites ohmy.gif

coz im planning to extend my stay to 2 nites and if its recommended might consider that hotel for the 2nd nite.. since its kinda cheap  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
from cameronhighlands.com eh ? tongue.gif
yea..i am aware of that too
but the victim also has responsibility as he/she didn't insist on a receipt and didn't take notice of the form he/she is filling in
just be more careful will do
