Cameron Highlands: Revisit

See also ALL Cameron Highlands posts.


Yep, I'm NOT done yet with my Cameron Highlands (CH) posts in celebration of Mother's Day. My last CH post was on May 17. I am now revisiting the trip exactly two months later. In this post you'll see that we'd checked in into our two-room apartment at Equatorial Cameron Highlands situated at the highest point of the highlands.

We totally enjoyed our stay there. The front-office staff were helpful and friendly. The apartment was spacious. I didn't really like the color of the furniture but that's not a problem at all. We did have problem with the water heater and it took a while for the folks from maintenance to fix it. Let's take a tour around the hotel!

Outside our apartment
Unloading our stuff
The bedroom with a king-sized bed and bathroom. There's a television in there too.
The bedroom with two single beds and bathroom, but without television
The neat and clean kitchen. This was really, really great because mom brought all her utensils for a steamboat dinner. We chucked foodstuff into the fridge and later mom prepared dinner.
Let's take a look at the view outside. We didn't get the best view.
Construction everywhere...
Cat took the opportunity for photoshoot
This is candid shot of Michael emo-ing. Well, actually he's fixing the blinds.
I took a walk outside and loved the surroundings
Lots of pretty pink and red petals!
Approaching our apartment, I saw mom and Michael so I zoomed in to them
Dinner time!
Piping hot steamboat, perfect for the cool weather!
More photos at my public Facebook album (to be uploaded)!

Coming up next, I'll take you shopping at Kea Farm; and tours around the butterfly farm, cactus farm, strawberry park, and the bee farm. Stay tuned!

What a lovely area -- despite the construction! Looks like a great time with your family.

Stanley said...

I love going to Cameron Highlands! HHaha used to go there yearly with the family last time. And we'll always stay in Equatorial too. Very suitable place to just relax and unwind.

Nymeth said...

Scrap girl said...

Dar said...

Great photos Alice! It looks so pretty there. The Steamboat looks good-your posts always make me hungry. lol.

Jacqueline said...

Melody said...

I've not been to Cameron Highlands so I'd love to visit there one day!

I love steamboat! Yum! :P

Alice Teh said...

Thanks, Wendy! The scenery, the cool weather, the company--they're all just wonderful! :D

Hi Merri, it was really, really fun! Steamboats are perfect for the weather there. In fact, lots of restaurants there serve steamboats.

Hi Barbara, we should really do more outings like this. What a great way to spend time with the family. :D

Hi Stanley! It's nice to know that Equatorial is your family's choice of hotel too. I think if there is less construction, it'll be even better...

LOL, Ana!

Hi Viv, the key ingredient of the steamboat is the soup. I'll try getting the recipe for your from my mom. :D

Thanks, Dar! LOL! I highly recommend my blog for people who do not have good appetite. Hopefully it'll make them more hungry and therefore, will eat. :D

Alice Teh said...

Thanks, Jac! What a coincidence! It's a comfortable and clean place to stay. :D

Hi Melody, I sure hope you'll visit Cameron Highlands. Never mind the construction ya. Steamboats are hard to resist, I must say. :)

Book Talk

"Books give us pleasure not because they make us comfortable, though some good ones may, but because they entertain us, they make us laugh, they make us cry; they inform, persuade, disturb, convince, seduce us; they make us think, speculate, see - and we recognize what we see as true, not as the truth but as a truth in the writer's fabulous construction that corresponds to what we have observed in ourselves, or others, or in the world at large, or can conceive of observing."

- William McPherson
