Went to Cameron on 8th and 9th so here is my mini review...

Accomodation - V.Dahila
We booked 4 rooms pent house apartment, very lousy and dirty. Check in at around 1:30pm and found most of the bed sheet to be no clean and one of it to have some oil stain. Climax was when my friend found cockroach wondering on his bed.. Considering it was a peak season and after several calls to other nearby hotel was "fully booked" we stayed and changed all the bed sheet our self because all housekeeping aunty had went back. When we were there it was cold even during day. So because we were all so preoccupied to change bed sheet and call other hotel our lunch was delayed until very late tea time. For toilet heater was working but is the water pressure which is the problem so this second you have warm water, the next second you will have ice cold water.. Fantastic at least it wake me up and make me jump & dance. On the positive side the apartment was big and had a constant cold breeze blowing. The living room was big if you are going with alot people it will be good. everybody can be in living to chit chat but it was freaking cold at this top floor.

Steamboat - We went for OK Tuck at brinchang, i think the steamboat is normal only but is good to have steamboat when weather is cold. It was cold at night for us when there is wind blowing.

Traffic - Do not go during weekend, traffic is unbelievable in cameron. if you do not have a choice consider reaching before 11:00am to avoid most of the traffic. Road form rose Valley toward KEA farm will be badly congested. TRUE STORY! Stop at Ipoh for dim sum if you have the time and can wake up very early.
*Must try* after come out from rose valley there is this stall selling keychain, fridge magnet & etc.. they also sell strawberry ice Popsicle try that.. fragrant and sweet.

Brinchang night market - Parking is a big nightmare... but we were lucky as some car is leaving so we just take their parking spot. Parked somewhere near to petronas. So if you want to avoid parking menace you might have to come out early 6pm. Park your car at strategic location and walk to your hot steamboat and then night market.

Others - Brunch was at Uncle Chow, since there is many of us we tired almost have of the menu that is on recommended list. The curry laksa & nasi lemak is worth to try out, to wash all the brunch goodness down our tummy we tried aloe vera dessert. Strawberry farm at brinchang is also a good one, go if you have time.

So overall is very enjoyable and fun trip, will be visiting the area is the future but will not be going during weekend.
