Day 4 (15 Dec 2013): Boh Tea Centre, Pasar Malam and Bye!

Next on the itinerary was Boh Tea Centre



 Had a tea break there too!





A whole hill of tea leaves!

The sheer expanse and greenery of the plantation looked refreshing and beautiful!

The information boards at the centre educated me on a few things about Boh Tea - that it had to rival and weed out imitations in the market, that Boh Tea was started by ang mohs, and Cameron Highlands was discovered by any mohs.
On exiting Boh Tea plantation, we drove past this tea leaves site that allowed us to be very close to the plants.
So we got down to take some pictures!

Before we left the hotel, we visited the pasar malam which was a stone's throw away





Natural honey with foam
The guy claimed that the dark brown ones were the sweetest but I hadn't the courage to buy. My sister's friend commented that she didn't think they were any different from the honey we buy from supermarkets.

Souvenirs - loads of strawberry items


Sea coconuts

The sign read: Cordyceps. $10
They were simply cordyceps lookalike vegetables or plants that are used as soup ingredients, so said my aunt.

More strawberry items

Apparently, Cameron Highlands has quite a few strawberry farms

After browsing the pasar malam, we strolled back to the hotel

We dropped by Ipoh for a famed chicken rice meal
Oh my goodness, I haven't eaten chicken as smooth as this! It was really very good!
Apparently, it is a well-known fact that An Ji serves fantastic chicken rice. 
There were pictures of local and overseas artistes with the boss on the wall.


We reckoned they use kampong chicken
