You must be wondering why I’m writing about a strawberry farm right? Reason is, I’m writing for people who are crazy over strawberries (like my mum). We went to Cameron Highlands on the last day from Ipoh for a quick day trip and the cab driver drove us to this Big Red Strawberry Farm cos the entrance unlike many other farms there, is free. They only charge you when you wanna pick strawberries. Really nice place to chill out; cool weather, strawberries galore, flora and fauna.

No, didn't try the salad... cos there are other better stuff to try!Check out the menu board... even have chocolate fondue for the strawberries!Scone with strawberry jam, butter and cream. Comes in a set with a pot of strawberry tea.Waffle with strawberry syrup and ice cream!Fresh cut strawberries served with whipped cream. They add a little of sugar syrup below which you can ask them not to add. But the berries in CH is not very sweet type so better to have some syrup. 😉See the strawberries inside.Strawberry milkshakeThere's a shop there selling many strawberry products...Or you can pick your own strawberriesView of the hypoallergenic veg farm from the cafeParsley anyone?Some veg...
Don't you just love the greens?Water is running continuously
Rating: 4.5/5. Great place for chillin’ out with friends or family. Kids will love this place.
Taste: If you love strawberries, you will end up ordering everything. But it’s a nice change from regular eating places.
When you come to Beijing Lu of Guangzhou, a shopping haven for most people except me (cannot find my size here lah), you have to try this famous roasted pigeon place more popularly known among the locals. I remembered the first time trying roasted pigeon at another place in Guangzhou, I was like why must I eat a pigeon?!?!?! I have chicken, duck and goose already, why pigeon?!?! After trying, then I know why. I thought, so small, where got meat? No lor, the meat is quite substantial when you have one whole pigeon yourself. And the best thing is, if done properly, it’s very tender and juicy.
It wasn’t difficult locating this restaurant which is on the 4th level of one really old and dirty building. Just have to ask around the locals or the security guards who are around the whole of Beijing Lu. the lift is on the 2nd floor and when you take the lift to the restaurant, the door opens to the restaurant immediately. As expected, it was crowded, so I had to share a table with a mother and daughter. I looked around for food samples and then ordered what I presumed to be good for my taste buds.
The signage inside the restaurantSee how crowded the place is... This is only on one side..First up, order the tea of your choice. I just love making my own tea in a little tea pot and small cups. So traditional.The main dish appeared first. A roasted pigeon cut into 2 halves. These are farmed pigeons btw. Not roadside ones. ;PSucculently juicy and tender... love it much much... ;PXiao Long Bao... One of the other attraction there. Skin was thin and loads of fillings.The way to eat Xiao Long Bao is, bite of the side and let the soup flow out onto the spoon, slurp up the soup, dip the bao into the black vinegar, add some of the ginger strips on top and whack the whole thing into your mouth!Next up, steamed Carrot Cake. See the amount of white radish strips inside. Quite a big serving which I had a hard time finishing it...Lastly, Chan Chun Fun with pork ribs. Chan Chun Fun is like our Cheong Fun or hor fun... a bit mix in between lah. But it does not have taste on its own. It absorbs the sauce which it's cooked in. So usually in restaurants, they cook with XO sauce and in this case, steamed with pork ribs.yummy!
Rating: 5/5
Taste: Very suitable for Asians. Cantonese cooking is usually quite heavy in taste. Hence this is pretty well done.
Portion: Above average.
Price: All that including the tea came up to RMB$66 only. Which is about SGD$13.20.
RTE: Yes, this coming November I’m bringing a group there. ;P
Location: Very near Lido Hotel. At the beginning of Beijing Lu on the right side. They ran out of cards when I asked for it.
