Full of berries

We spent almost the entire morning walking around the Agro Farm in Cameron Highlands. I am not a nature lover so was hardly attracted by the plants and flowers. Unlike my ex-colleagues from Johor who found it a truly amazing experience of visiting the Cactus farm, I wandered aimlessly from one section to another while waiting for them to complete their tour. When it was almost close to noon, Hong Ching brought up the idea of plucking strawberries in the farm. I knew that it's hard for me to turn down their 'invitation'. Bearing the heat and discomfort moving around the farm, I randomly picked any berries I could see despite being told to pluck only the 'big' ones. I couldn't wait to finish my task and leave that place immediately. After spending half-an-hour with the berries, I left and headed straight to the cafe. Since the cafe is located in the strawberry farm, almost all its food are made of strawberries.


I plucked all these...

Very lousy strawberry cheesecake

Tasteless Strawberry Pancake

Strawberry Waffle

Afternoon Tea at Ye Olde Smoke House


Ye Olde Smoke House is located after the town of Tanah rata, towards the town of Brinchang. To be exact, it is adjacent to the Cameron highlands golf course. 

You will have to go through many loops, switchbacks and steady climbing before you reach this delightful Smoke House.

The smoke house is a 4 stars hotel. It is the most famous building in Cameron highland. It is very well-known and is categorized as a boutique hotel. Therefore, the price that is being charged is relatively high. 

The Smoke House is an authentic-looking Tudor-style with a 2-storey building. It was built on 1939. Some of the more premium rooms come with a fire place. All the rooms in the Smoke House have the view of either golf course or garden. 
There is a restaurant serving delicious traditional English foods. 

If you crave for the usual English delicacies, this is the restaurant where you should never miss out. 

They serve wonderful traditional English breakfast. This will most probably be inclusive in the package. 

Besides, they also serve tea with scones, cream and strawberry jam. Scones with cream and strawberry jam are rather popular in Cameron. 

Never miss out the chance to try out the scones and the homemade strawberry jam. 

You also may enjoy your drink by the fireplace. This is definitely perfect and suits the cold weather there.


Enjoy the wonderful traditional English breakfast, tea in the lush gardens with scones, cream and strawberry jam.
