CAMERONS/ IPOH

After a "chilling" trip to Cameron Highlands, it was time to bid goodbye and continue our journey to Ipoh. We've decided to use a separate route as the journey up to Cameron was a painful experience...to my buttocks that is! What with the endless corners and curves to maneuver, my cute butts had to adjust frequently to the change, I think I lost a few millimeters off my butts with the exercise...hmmm, think it is now tighter too ;)
The journey to Ipoh via Blue Valley was scenic and breath-taking. The journey was pleasant and my butts well rested all the way down. The air was fresh, the breeze was cool. There were lots of vegetation farms and villages as were rode downhill, the road was much wider and better to ride on.

In Ipoh, nothing eventful except for the fact that I stayed in the hotel waiting for rocker57 to finish his day's work. When he called it a day at work, we wanted to go for a ride around Ipoh but was "cheated" by the dark & cloudy skies. After 3 failed attempts and given up totally, the sky brightened up and was "inviting" us to take a ride. BAH!! The mood was gone, so we stayed in and watch TV while waiting to be picked up for dinner.
Dinner at Overseas restaurant was average but I specifically want to highlight the restaurant signature dish - veal served with fried "mantau" (buns) was an experience. The veal was tougher than plastic! But the special gravy was delightful and tastes well when eaten with the "mantau". We lodged a complaint with the captain, she gladly took the balance (1 piece) to inform the chef and told us that it would be replaced. We were in laughters when she returned many minutes later with a single piece as replacement!!! Awww, com'on would an extra piece or two make any difference??? It does to the patrons but not the restaurant...so be more generous-lah!!!
The following day, we had to rush back to Subang, so we couldn't allocate time to savour the famous dim sum at Ming Kok or Foh San....perhaps next time....
