Double celebration in Cameron Highlands


This year's mid autumn festival and Amy's birthday was on the same day, I went to Amy's hometown Cameron Highlands to celebrate both occasions with Amy's family.

Her family bought some mooncakes for the celebration, and all of the mooncakes were very untraditional like what we have in the old days such as Lotus with egg yolk.

What they bought were some funky new flavours, watermelon, tiramisu, lemon, yam, macam-macam ada...

The very untraditional mooncakes

Doramon one also got.

*speechless*

I think maybe in the near future we will have mooncakes with flavours such as "Durian skins with Petai flavour and Tiger biscuits fillings". Who knows, it might happen.

This is one very special delicacy during mid autumn festival, but I never seen it before...


Here are some shots from Amy's birthday celebration with her family.


Amy's birthday cake

which Amy "gracefully" cut it...


while her sister and mother were amazed by her "cake-cutting" skills...


The very next day, we went to the Sungei Palas Boh Tea Centre, which is a must visit place for me to unwind.






Although the tea there is exactly the same as the ones sold at Tesco or Giant, but drinking tea there with the cool breeze on your face is an enjoyment.

While we were preparing the tea, something "geli" showed up...

Looks like "chocolate cake" to me.

So please don't look at it if you want to enjoy your tea.

After a relaxing tea session, we got too bored and headed to the souvenir shop nearby where they sell macam-macam of Tea Boh products and Tea Boh related products such as T-shirts, key chain and those useless stuffs where you buy back for your friends and family as souvenirs.

Then I saw the Tea Boh mascot soft toys...


I wonder why they have to make the mascot soft toys with their eyes looking downwards...
Looks weird to me.
