Here we are…on top of the world, so to speak…
…at Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands…
I love some of the buildings in the vicinity with their old colonial architecture…like this school, for instance…
– SK Convent, Cameron Highlands. It must be great teaching in a school up in the mountains like that with the nice, cool weather – I would not need a fan blasting at full speed, I’m sure…much less, an air conditioner.
You will see a lot of shops selling souvenirs and all kinds of local produce and products…and stalls like these all around…
Mandy said that we must try the jagung mutiara (pearl corn)…
…and we did…
It was VERY sweet…but I did not quite like the texture of the kernels – I would prefer our own local sweet corn or jagung madu (honey corn).
We also had the sweet potatoes…
Small and very nice, like the ones imported from the Philippines – the last time I bought some in Sibu, I think I paid no less than RM8.00 a kilo.
I really loved the ubi kodok…
– some fritter-like local delicacy made from sweet potatoes. I think I’ve heard Cleffairy mention it a couple of times but I did not know what it was and if there are any available in Sibu, I do not know of it. All I know is that kodok in Malay means toad, correct me if I’m wrong.
Next stop…..steamboat, right in the middle of the afternoon!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
