We're back and Happy Mother's Day!

Us @ Equatorial Hotel, Cameron Highlands


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!


On Saturday, we packed our bags and a luggage full of steamboat pots and pans, cutlery, and raw materials for our "steamboat party" up at Cameron Highlands, Pahang. We celebrated Mother's Day up in the hills and had a really good time too. Mom wanted to cook for us and the best stuff to have up there is steamboat!

I booked us into a two-bedroom apartment at Equatorial Hotel and it was awesome! (Well, actually, we had an issue with the heater not behaving itself...) Because we're staying in an apartment, cooking was made possible. Too bad our workaholic brother, John, was not able to join us.

We also visited a few places such as Kea Farm, tea plantation up at the Kampung Sungei Palas, and many more. More updates and photos coming your way!

  7. It sounds like you had a wonderful time, Alice. My own mother lives too far away to spend the day with, but my dad and brother are taking good care of her today. :-)
