Fraser's Hill, Malaysia

Last Saturday, 16.05.2009, I went to Frazer's Hill for 1 day trip. This trip was not a planned trip, but it was only decided on the night before. So, 10am, Jessica and Me drove to Shah Alam to pick up Poh.

For breakfast, we headed to a restaurant that is famous for it's Char Siew. We order roasted duck, Char Siew and Siew Yok. You can find more information at http://juliansi.blogspot.com/2007/05/best-ever-char-siew-spring-golden-shah.html.

From Shah Alam, we followed the way towards Kepong, and then to Batu Caves. We opted for the other way instead of the normal way so that we could just explore the place and enjoy the sceneries, and to Test Power Poh's brother DSLR.

First Stop- Ulu Yam Dam, or Batu Dam

The sceneries was so beautiful with its crystallize water surrounding by trees. How I wish I can just jump to the dam and swim in it.

Second stop- The Empangan Headquarter

Somehow somewhere, we managed to squeak in to view the sceneries. The structure of the damn is so wonderful, and there is a big hold where water flow inside.

After that, we continued our journey towards Fraser's Hill. When we reach at the GAP House (the first stop before going up to Fraser Hill), it was already 2:30pm. They way up to the hill will only be opened at 3pm. For your information, there will be a schedule for visitors to follow for driving up and down to Frazer Hill. There will be a driving gap of one hour each since the road is narrow.

Within less than half an hour, we reached Frazer's Hill, thanks to the driving skill of mine. The first interesting place we visited is THE TOILET... In Fraser's Hill, the landmark where everybody will take photo is the clock tower.

After enjoying the sceneries, it's time to go back. We almost can't find the way back to the main entrance as it was raining and getting dark and there was lost of mist. It reminds me of the movie The Mist based on the novel by Stephen King. Once the mist surrounds you, you really can't see anything. We are damn scared and panicked a little bit. Imagine doing a U-Turn at a small narrow road while the mist is getting close to you. But luckily, we managed to find our way. Actually all roads is connecting each other and will end up at the main point. The mist made us panic only. Anyway, when we reached the main point, we have to wait till 6pm before the road is open for drive down.

For dinner, we stopped by at Batang Kali for their famous Loh Mee. We managed to find the restaurant in a shortest time. We ordered a small portion of Loh Mee for 3 of us since we also planned to eat at other place. The food was really good, and to be honest, it's the best Loh Mee that I have ever had. I am not sure whether it's because we are damn hungry or what, but the taste is good- just enough black soy sauce and black vinegar. We also buy some cookies called 'Tau Sa Piah" and "Ma Tai Suk" at that shop. Wait, maybe it's "Loh Poh Ping". Im not sure, but who cares as long as it is nice.

After passed by Damansara, we stopped by at SS2 PJ. We ate at a road side stall selling Curry Noodles, Chee Cheong Fun and desserts such as Yi Mai Fu Cuk. And suddenly I realize that the game between Manchester and Arsenal is almost going to end. Well at this point, I don't really care as what ever the result, Arsenal will still get 4th position this season. And at that moment, my thought was to reach Nilai safely and A.S.A.P. and get a rest or watch ASTRO.
