We started our journey at 8am. After picking up Ah Seong and a quick breakfast in Kepong, We headed north, passing Rawang and Ulu Yam.
We arrived at the Kuala Kubu Dam at about 11am. It took us a little longer compared to those
online suggestion...perhaps the limitation here is my SLK...well what can i expect from my SLK
...already 12 yrs old and only 660cc.
Kuala Kubu Dam is like no any other that I have seen. The dam in Penang and the Kuala Kubu Dam are total different. First of all, the size...Kuala Kubu Dam is magnificient. With the high rise fall and the breeze, this place is superb...
why not open up few chalet there...can possibily be a tourist attraction there.
After the shots, we continued our journey. We headed east along the route to the aborigin kampung where the starting point of the hike to the waterfall is. After 10min drive, we parked our cars by the road site...like many other but to discover that these people were there for picnic along the riverbank only rather than going for a hike.
We headed back to our cars and speed of further down the road until we finally realized that we were way to far from our starting point but nearer to the Fraser Hill. The signs by the road showed that we were only 10+km away from Fraser Hill. As it was drizzling, we all agreed that it would not be possible for us to hike into the jungle as it was really dangerous. So instead of turning back and ended up with nothing, we headed up the hill.
it's cold...and wet
Thank god for my SLK was not giving me much problem uphill except that the stupid air cond just gone 'kong'. Luckily the breeze was rather cooling.
my SLK...old but strong!!!
We arrived at Fraser Hill at about 1pm. It was still drizzling.
playing under the rain
There was nothing much in Fraser Hill except those hotels and resorts. The architecture style of the building there were rather the same as what I could recall of Cameron Highland. If I was to compare these places, then I would prefer the activities available in Cameron Highland but if I am looking for a peaceful place to hide out, the Fraser Hill would definitely be my choice. The traffic was super low, away from all types of pollution.
After a rather unpleasant meal and some hypered photography slots, we headed back.
On our way back, we took a turn into the Ulu Yam. There we had our best meal of the day....
famous Loh Mee of Ulu Yam....yummy
home-made fish cake...very tender inside, crispy outside...thumbs up!!!
the prawn was huge...just go look at the smallest soup bowl provided in restaurant then you ll know...favourite dish...Sang Har Mee
And not to miss out their Sarawak Pineapple juice...very natural and sweet...no additional sugar added...
It costed us about Rm15 each...trust me it is valued for it!
To get there from Rawang, just follow the old trunk road until you reach Ulu Yam.
There is a traffic light with a turning on your left.
Just take the turning, it is the same way as you are going to Genting via Batang Kali. There is a bus station of your left right after the turning. Go straight until you reach the Shell Petrol Station on your right. Turn right after the Petrol Station. The restaurant is situated on the 2nd row of the shop lots from the Petrol Station. It is on the corner lot.
Bravo for another great outing with CCC gang!
