First,let me thanks to Honeytar for the tip.Otherwise,I would not have the opportunity to savour the tea and scones at Bharat Tea House this morning.My first visit to Cameron Highland was in 1987.Yesterday was my second visit after 18 years! And of course it changed so much...However,the road is still bad,but the road is being improved.When I checked out of the hotel(located at 5300ft above sea-level) the temperature was 19.7ยบ C this morning.
Yesterday afternoon,I went on tea shopping spree-with a few boxes of Blue Valley tea and Cameron Valley tea.And my wife had also bought a colourful china tea set.Both of us came home smiling:-)
The photo above shows where we had tea at Bharat Tea House.In the backgound is the vast tea plantation.My apologies for not being able to show the tea and the scones because my camera's memory card immediately became full after taking the above photo.
You can view other photos I have snapped here.
PS(19/12/05)-Here is the missing photo.
There are a few tea houses in CH but the ones within the plantation are bharat tea and boh tea. if you are adventurous enough then you can go to boh tea. it is about 6km from the main road. the tea house is located next to the tea factory where you can actually see how the tea is being process.
I have been to CH for many times since 1997 but my first visit there was not far from Abedib which was 1984 or 1985.
and I look forward to go there before ramadhan. and to learn that the temp has gone down again make it more interesting.

Abedib, awwww...luvly juvly picture! I'm glad that you get to have tea at Bharat Tea House. I miss the place so much! I can stay there for 6 solid hrs, just have tea/biscuits/scones/puff & chatting away with a friend while enjoying the view. ;-)

Abe Dib:
Looks like u and Kak N were having a great time in Cameron. Such a lovely couple you are.
We went to Cameron once a couple of years back but we were so turn off with the bad road condition. Very sad to learn that it hasn't been improved.

Adik Di,
Thanks for your kind words about my wife and me.As we grow older and the children started to live their lives and moving out,you will discover that your wife is your best friend to keep you company.

Boh ada dua tea house. Satu di Habu (about 5km before Tanah Rata (from Tapah), dan satu di Sungai Palas, near Brinchang. The small road to Sungai Palas is on the left, just after the big hotel on the right (Equatorial?). Sorry my memory is sometimes not so reliable. There is also a tea house in Taman Sedia. I frequented KHM tea house. The only thing is that it is not in a tea plantation but in a strawberry park. Compared to the price of tea and scones at Bharat Tea or Boh Tea, the price at KHM is probably less than half. KHM lacks publicity, and hence thee are very few tenants. It is small in size, by the way. At KHM you can buy almost anything strawberry--jam, sauce, acar, preserved straws, lollipops, etc. My eldest daughter is in Cameron Highlands, by the way. For the past one year, me and the missus went there about four times.
