Cameron Highlands Strawberries


Strawberry Potted Pattern Plants



Cameron Highlands Strawberries grows very well in the cool climate weather. All year round the strawberries are available and grown at the various strawberry farms. Visiting the farms and markets I managed to get a few interesting shots of the juicy red strawberries.


Metamorphosis of Strawberry



Strawberries starts off as green and turns red as it ripens. This shot seem to sum up its metamorphosis from green strawberry to ripe red juicy strawberry.


Strawberries galore!



"RM$10 for 5 plastic packs of strawberries!" said the stall seller! Well, if I have known, I would have waited before making purchases! That's the problem with the prices of vegetables, fruits and produce sold in Cameron Highland. The prices varies, and if you got the time, check around before making your purchase. Haggling is necessary to get better prices. But frankly speaking, I don't find the prices here any cheaper than in Kuala Lumpur!

Just for the fun of it, bargain some and try not to regret too much when you find other stalls sells cheaper! After all, the stall holders survive by selling to the tourist. And there are lulls and peaks of when the tourist comes and goes.

There are some farms that allows picking of strawberries. But don't expect picking your own to be any sweeter!

The best strawberries I've ever tasted were in Paris, France. I think the climate here is just not good enough or the farmers is missing on some technique to grow sweeter strawberries.
