It's been 10 days into the fasting Ramadan month, and there's just so many food bazaars going around town! I'm not too sure whether it is the same in Cameron Highlands or not. But is liken to their night market food section! I'm pretty sure all around Malaysia there will be many food stalls set up all around to cater for the breaking of fast for Muslims doing their fast.
Food, food, glorious food, aren't we gluttons when it comes to food? Plenty of choices around. Not only that, it is highlighted in the local newspaper. It is crowded and the queue is just so long, especially for popular dishes!
Fortunately for me, one of the bazaars located in Section 14, PJ, is just around the corner from where I work. To get a good whiff at the wonderful aroma, all I need do is just open my office window. From my vantage point, I get to gauge which are the more popular stalls, and thus plan my food buying spree.
The crowd gets really heavy from 5 o'clock onwards, as many offices begin to close shop for the day. For some of the popular stalls, you will need to go there early or else be ready to be disappointed when it is all sold out! I think it is very disappointing if after queuing for a long while, and it just got sold out when it is about to be your turn to make your purchase! Too bad, try again another day.
Still got some time to try out the various food offerings as the bazaars will go on till 2nd of November, the last day of "puasa" fasting month. After that, it is a celebration of completing the Ramadan with the Hari Raya Puasa holidays. That's when almost the whole of Malaysian people will be on the move for the "balik kampong" phenomena where outstation folks will go back to their hometown to be reunited with their family members and have big celebration! Traffic on the highway will get into a snarl as the whole Malaysia becomes one big traffic jam!
Till then, enjoy your "makan" (eating)!

hi..
i'm planning to go cameron on the 1st of nov but as there are so many rumors and news about landslide there, one of my friend freak out.. can i know where to look for real news about cameron to convince her (and us)? looked in googles but found none.. please advise thanks
Dear Lee,
Give a call to the hotel which you plan to stay and ask them how's the situation up there in CH and road condition. That's what I do before going up during a wet season. The hotel staff should know better since they are staying there all the time.
Landslides do occur but are usually minor. The roadworks dept have to clear them as fast as possible to avoid traffic blockage, probably within the day the landslide occurs itself.
The major ones are highlighted in the major newspapers (Star, New Straight Times, etc). But you won't find them posted in the net ('coz they are just small little babies compared to hurricanes like Katrina / Wilma, etc).
I have not come across any news this year, so I guess it should be relatively safe.
If you are driving, try using the new way via Simpang Pulai. The jungle is pushed back somewhat from the hills and there are more concrete reinforcement.
Hope the above advice helps.
And have pleasant stay!
(Don't forget to bring your umbrellas!)
you are such an angel.. thanks for everything ^-^
