Green View Garden, Cameron Highland
Last Labour Day weekend was spent back in hometown. Since mum had day off from work and there is nothing much to do anyway, off to Cameron Highland we went.
Our first stop, and the best stop of the whole one-day trip - Green View Garden.
Strawberry goodies - Cakes, strudels, puddings, salad and chocolates.
We had this strawberry cheesecake.
And strawberry strudel.
Fresh strawberry juice.
Chocolate fondue. Served with strawberries, chocolate love letters and marshmallows.
Yummy!
There were so many pit stop cum vegetables/flower/ fruit farm cum rest and relax cum dining cum shopping area scattered around Ringlets, Tanah Rata, Brinchang and in between but this place is by far the best. It was spacious and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The wide array of western food and desserts makes me want to return for more.
The rest of the trip though, was not as good. Remember the Watercress Valley that I USED TO give good reviews of? I retract back my statement. If you happen to pass by there, don’t stop. Move ahead to somewhere else. That place had turned into a money sucking, tourist conning place. I should seen the telltale sign by the brand new Mercedes Benz parked right in front of their place.
They charge for every single thing and the food was cutthroat expensive. They charge RM0.30 for toilets and RM1.00 just for looking at the watercress! I don’t see the reason to charge people for looking at the farm when it is free in other farms. There were nothing impressive anyway, unlike beautiful flowers or fruits. They even closed the dining section so that the view is not accessible unless you dine in.
As for dining in, well for a steamboat meal consist of a soup base, a small basket of vegetables, ten meatballs, three stuffed chillies, three stuffed bean curd skin, ten suikow, two balls of noodles and two glasses of drinks, we were charged a whooping RM72.00. Despite the price stated in the menu, they will over charge you, knowing fully well that once you left you can’t make any complaints anyway.
So, be careful.
