Pls read Part 1 first (not that there is continuity that would otherwise be uncomprehendable if you read this part first, but since this post is named part 2, I guess, what the heck, do as you like...)
Cameron Highlands
This is the second time I'm driving up to Cameron using the new road (enter at Simpang Pulai). Me and my colleagues were very well treated by our company. We get to stay at Equatorial Hotel near Brinchang (about 2 km away). The Equatorial is a 4 star hotel, and it is rated as the second bestest hotel in Cameron Highlands. The highest rated being Lakehouse Resort.
The Equatorial has great views and some very comfortable apartments (besides the hotel rooms). We stayed at a 2 rooms apartment with a spectacular view.
Nice!
Albeit all the great facilities of a 4-star Hotel, they still manage to screw it up by some substandard service and poor management. When we got there, there were no slippers and towels in the apartment. We called, and were told slippers are not provided for occupants but they will bring the towels as soon as possible. Now normally I wouldn't have given a damn whether they provide slippers or not but here in Cameron Highlands, the floor is icy cold!
We thought it was only a glitch that happens on the rarest of occasions, but we were dissappointed again the next day. No towels again. WTF, rite!? 4-star hotel? Dissappointing.
Also, we were only provided with one towel each. No hand towels provided. They charge RM5 for each extra towel. Never seen a 4-star hotel so kiamsiap one. I think they're trying to cut cost or something, as apparently, ours was not an isolated case. Others also had to request for their towels. Such simple thing also cannot do, call yourself 4-star. haiz.
Anyway, apart from work, we also went around scouting for good food. Boy, can we eat!! Food, food, food all the time. And of course we went for steamboat, one of the must do if you come to Cameron Highlands. The cold weather makes steamboat really really goood.
Don't forget the fisballs, faster, put fishballs first. Fishballs. I like. A steamy scene at Cameron. (steamy scene. Hehe...)
We had steamboat at Restoran Kowlong, Brinchang. The parking area opposite the restaurant was the site for the famous pasar malam in Brinchang.
If you think the huge prawns in the last steamy picture (steamy picture. hehe...) was the star of the meal, how very wrong you are, my young padawan.
Introducing, *drum rolls* the real star of the meal, Fried Mushrooms!! *applauds....screams*
After feeding ourself fat that night, we worked like dogs again for the next few days.
In all, the trip was enjoyable.
THE END.
