Peninsula Malaysia Makan Trip - Update 8 - Last Day!

Time sure flies, very soon we are on the last day of the trip and everyone is already feeling the end of the trip, time to go back to work, life, bills... well, at least we had a good break and a wonderful experience won't you think so?

We took the last morning easy, waking up late to prepare steamboat with all the fresh and yummy vegetables we had brought the previous night. Everyone got in to help, either making the soup, cutting the vegetables or just preparing their stomach to help eat! Since we are in Cameron Highlands, we had a meatless steamboat, which is also good for us with all the loads of stuff we had eaten for the last 4 days. We also had some goodie strawberries with nutella and honey, absolutely heavenly!

Since its Daniel's first trip here, how could we not take him to see strawberries, shop at the market and let him taste some fresh tea leaf (ok ok, the tea leaf is a prank by some of the guys, please don't eat it!). So we did some tourist stops, had some strawberry juice, ice cream and a cup of tea.

As we got down to Simpang Pulai, the gang are already screaming for food, so we hurried to Tapah to look for more food to eat. Tapah is our last stop before heading home and we were rounding Tapah town in rain to try to find a decent place to eat. Somehow most of the places are closed on Christmas eve and we found Little House Cafe which serve Hainanese cuisines. We got the recommended talapia fish butter fried, sambal petai, butter fried sotong and the usual vegetables and tofu. The best would have to be the fish, which are sliced and fried and also the sotong. Total bill is RM100.00, all round up, hmmm... based on estimation or a standard charge for KL folks? :P. Anyway, the food here are still good and decent.



In conclusion, we had traveled about 1,577.5km in 5 days time, going from KL to Kampar to Batu Gajah then resting in Taiping (includes Matang & Pokok Assam). Then from Taiping to Butterworth to Alor Setar. Moving up to Kangar then Gerik and from Gerik to Temenggor Lake to Gua Musang before Cameron Highlands and Tapah! What a journey but I am glad that everyone got home safe and happy ;).

It was a daunting task organizing the trip, but luckily I have got many helpers among the gang whom helped out throughout the trip! It was really a great experience, learning more about places and local food tourists do not normally visit as well getting to know each other better.

Thank you all for the participations, hope everyone had as much fun as I did. And yes, looking forward to our Peninsula Malaysia Makan Trip part 2 to do the other parts we had missed out! Cheerio and wishing everyone a good year ahead, good health and have more to makan ;).
