Some Tips on Traveling with Kids

Date: Aug 11, 2011

There are some tips I wanted to share.

1. If you have toddler kids, buy this kind of luggage.






So that your toddler can help you to carry the luggage. Buy those that can turn 360 degrees. So that they can turn the luggage, and push it around. You got two kids, then each can have one.






2. Take firefly to Ipoh, then rent car to Cameron Highlands.






Get a window seat (may be loud) for your kids, they love to see air planes. Especially those with propellers. After you reach Ipoh, make sure you have book a tour, or book a car for your use. Driving from Singapore to Ipoh, is about 5 hours plus. But driving up Camera highlands takes about 1.5-2 hours.

Make sure you bring some plastic bags just in case someone vomits.

3. In Cameron highlands, there is always those affordable apartment or holiday house for rent. You can easily find it on the web. Those are apartment owned by people, but they rent it out to some people who we call the hotel management people, who will look after your apartment, and pay you rent, and help clean your place so that they can rent out to people who came here for holidays. Usually, it is a three or two bed room apartments.





Usually it is clean. But one always, please bring your own bed sheet, pillow cover, and bath towels. The condition of Cameron highlands is always humid. Therefore, the bedsheets offered is always a bit damp, because of the bed.

Well, hotel usually is the same. And is much more higher price. Staying in apartment is nice, as you got kitchen area.

That's it!

Cheap and Good Food at Brinchang

If you stay in Brinchang Cameron Highlands, there are these two good place to eat. I found the food is nice and cheap.



This Wai Yat Restaurant serve very good steamboat.


And guess what is under the table.


They still use gas tank.


We ordered a four person portion, and felt it is a bit too much...


And the veggies are big fat and fresh. This is called 鸳鸯菜.


See, front is green, and back is purple. Quite tasty.


Look, this is 田七. Also very nice. This is the first time I tried this, suppose to give good boost to blood circulations.



The food is nice.



The other restaurant that is nice is this Yeong Wah.



You must try the yam braised pork.


The Patin fish is fresh and nicely done.



The soup is good too!



And lastly, the 龙须菜. Crunchy.



It's is from this veggie...




So, for both restaurant, we spent about RM60-70 for 4 adults and 2 kids, and we also order drinks and some noodles too. Worth the money.

Suspended Tea House

From far, it looks like a suspended tea house.



After we visited the Butterfly Garden, we are on our way to BOH Tea Centre @ Sungai Palas



At the midway there is this big rock that you need to stop and take photos. Look at the blue sky and green tea plants.



Welcome to the BOH tea plantation.


Jay sit on a smaller rock.


Papa also take a photo with the blue sky and tea plants.


Mommy also had a photo.


It's a nice place to take photos.


Finally we are here.


Oh... That tea place is so cool. We gotta have tea there...


Since when they build this tea house?


The fresh tea leaves...


The tea plantations workers stay there. They even have a school there.


It looks very cosy inside.


We sit outdoor, and overlooking the plantations...


Mommy is certainly happy with her BOH Cameronian Gold Blend.


See. She is definitely happy.


Overlooking the great plantations..


I like the way how they design the woods..


Brothers...


Is that Jay Jay?


Or Kay Kay?



A tour on how tea was made...


I plucked some fresh tea leaves for a friend...


Let's see once again the magnificent view...


So unreal...




I strongly recommend this place. There are a few tea plantation, but I think this is the best so far I came across.

One more tip: Go to Cameron Highlands during weekdays! You have less visitors, less cars, less jam, and you will get most of the fun!
