Evening In BRINCHANG: Big Red Strawberry Farm • Cactus Valley

Strawberries and Cactuses!

Turned out the scones we had had at the Cameron Valley Tea House was so filling that we skipped lunch. I spent the afternoon sorting out footage from earlier in the day then we all took a nap.

We woke up at a quarter to four and got ready for the next adventure of the day: strawberries and cactuses.

We hailed a Grab car for a fare of RM18.00 (approximately USD/EUR4) to the Big Red Strawberry Farm in the next town of Brinchang. The kind lady who drove us there reminded us of the revised closing times during Ramadan, 5pm instead of the usual 6pm.

We arrived at a quarter past four which gave us less than an hour. Better than nothing.

We made it up the steep climb to the cafe here and ordered:

Strawberry Ice Cream
Strawberry Jelly
Strawberry Pudding

for a total of RM22.70 (approximately USD5/EUR4).

We then took a stroll along the alleys of fresh vegetables and flowers before making our way to Cactus Valley which was by then closed.

We continued down into the main road and walked along Jalan Angsana headed northeast before turning right onto Jalan Besar.

We continued south and at the Fire station walked across and onto Jalan Bandar.

A short while later we had arrived at our dinner destination, the perennial favourite OK Tuck Steamboat Restaurant.

We had a sumptuous early dinner, then hailed a Grab car for a fare of RM13.00 (approximately USD/EUR3). We arrived at Cameron Fair where we browsed a clothing store in search of thicker sleeping attire.

I finally got a tracksuit for RM120.00 (approximately USD25/EUR23), the nights in Cameron Highlands can get very cold so I should be warm and toasty tonight.

By the way tomorrow's my birthday so do stay tuned, and b e sure to catch our upcoming video on OK Tuck!
