Boh Tea Centre Sungai Palas, Brinchang

-
Last time my journey to Cameron Highland, I have posted a Boh Tea farm at Ringlet and now this is another Boh Tea Center at Sungai Palas, Brinchang. 
The road to the Boh Tea Farm is 5-10 mins driving duration from the main road of Cameron Highland. The road is steep and dangerous so drive safely and carefully at all times when you are on this road. However, the scenery here are really amazing.
There are some points along the way you can stop by and get close and personal with the tea plantation.
Even though you reach the guard house of the Sungai Palas Boh Tea Center but that does not mean you are near. You will still need to take another 5 minutes drive to the car park area.
You are still not there yet even though you have parked your car so be extra patience. Only 200 meter walk to the location left.
Before that, please remember to watch your steps especially during the raining season. The best time to visit Cameron Highland is January and February. That is their driest month and may be very hot too.
Let the 200 meter journey begins.
The whole hill is covered by the tea plantation. It is really an outstanding scenery.
The Boh Tea Center is within sight! Finally!
But...we have a little hiking to do. Don't frown because you can find a good spot like this for an amazing photo shoot.
Here we are, folks! On the left is the cafeteria and on the right is the tea factory.
So we decided to grab some breakfast first but here are a notice for you to watch out when you are at this viewing platform.
A great view from the viewing platform.
The view of the sky having the cloud to divide into half.
They have Tamil primary school here and also some family of the plantation workers staying here. It is like a very small village.
They do offer cakes, breads, pastries and their own famous Boh tea for you to order. It is a self-service.
I had a set of Bukit Cheeding Tea @RM4.50++/pax. This tea is really delicious to mix with milk. 
My auntie from London prefer this butter cake which is cost @RM3.20++/pc.
My wife prefers Danish Chocolate Roll @RM4.80++
My mum loves sandwiches because with a lot delicious fillings which cost @RM6.30++
As for me, I prefer this Strawberry Tart @RM3.80++. I find that anything with strawberry in it at Cameron Highlands seems so fresh.
This Butter Cheese Bun @RM3.20++ is the least favorite by all of us. Lack of butter and hardly taste the cheese in it. Anyway, I still prefer scones but they do not serve any.
After a scrumptious breakfast, time for us to understand more about tea.
Let's start with their history. Here is the path where you will be explained clearly about how these tea is born. There are in English and Malay language.
More readings and old tools that is used to prepare the tea will be exhibited here.
You need to wait about 4-7 minutes before you will have a tour guide to guide you through the factory and explain to you how does the tea works. The tour is free of charge by the way.
While waiting for more visitors to join us, the tour guide will explain things that are exhibited here to the tourists.
Alright, let's go everyone into the factory! It just took me less than 5 minutes to finish the tour because the tour guide just shown us the entrance and nothing else she did. I was expecting her to do some explanation about what are the workers are doing in there.
She was not explaining because we can read ourselves from the board here which available in English and Malay language. Click the photos to enlarge to read!
Other interesting information about this tea factory.
This place is really a nice place for a perfect photography with natural light all around you. Vivid photographer should fully take the chance to grab as many photo as you can.
Overall, I like the scenery here which is really awesome! As for the food wise, it is not impressive. A cup of tea here would be just more than enough.

It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.  It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant.

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government ta...

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor Bahru

-
Image
At Johor Bahru, there is a majestic blue lake which is known as Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai. It is a hidden gem within Masai, Johor Bahru.  The reason it is blue is because of the iron ore quarry nearby. The blue color is from the mineral called copper sulphate but I am not sure if that's the real reason for it because whenever there is a blue lake like this, there will be a iron ore quarry beside of it. Another good example is Tasik Biru Bukit Ibam Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I believe there are other more which you can share with me the location of the blue lake with an iron ore quarry beside it on the comments below. Thanks. A panoramic view of the blue lake. Click to enlarge the picture. To get to here, simple key in "Tasek Biru Kangkar Pulai" into your Waze app. It will leads you directly to this place. There are no designated parking place, so you just have to park beside the main road.  It is not difficult to hike because I saw kids have no problem cli...

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target ...
