Cameron
Highlands

| Cameron Highlands is located in
the state of Pahang, some 205 km from KL. That's about 160 km of tolled
road and rest pretty much 'pig-trail' up some 1400m above sea level. We
recorded temperature around 26C midday and cool 16C at 6am. Plenty
of budget accommodations and reasonable local / continental food selections.
My fav is a economy Chinese food stall located in Tanah Rata (same row
as the Malay food stalls overlooking Cool Point Hotel). They serve
anything from simple fried rice to steaks. I love their iced lemon
tea. We stayed at a budget hotel for RM68 a night. Saturdays are
the Pasar Malam nights where the locals (plus some enterprising
non-locals) sell anything from fresh vegs, fruits, flowers to children
toys to designer watches, clothing. However, the town is pretty much
quiet after 9:00 pm save for some karaoke blasting mainly chinese old
hits.
