Strawberry Farm @ Gohtong Jaya, Genting

After the visit to the Orchid Farm....
We were rather deciding whether to roll down the hill or up to Genting Higlands....
As we decided to go up the hill again....
I saw the signboard to the Strawberry Farm opposite from the roundabout.
Is free entrance, and... why not right?

They have few areas like the strawberry farm (you can hand pick the strawberries.... RM6/100gm)...

Area 1 : STRAWBERRY FARM:

Well, as we saw from a far... not much pretty though....

As Dumpty was saying... they looks like having cancer (tumours).....
I couldn't agree more though.

The other spot on... ROSES.... and other flowers which I not too sure with the names...

While walking toward the walkway.... it leads us to a stairway to the lavender garden....

Area 2 : Lavender Garden

There were 2 types of Lavender that we saw....

Well, for someone who back from NZ....
She said that the one most blooming is not the actual lavender.....

Malaysian's Lavender?

Instead, she said this one (picture below) is the actual lavender...

No matter what... it's a great view for the garden....

It's such a beautiful view isn't it?

The surrounding of the lavender garden... there were also other plants around.....
One thing that amazed me was this....

It can feed the whole state! :P

At the side of the fence... there are plants of Morning Glory....

Beautifully bloomed!

Area 3 : Vegetable Farm / Cactus

After mesmerizing the flowers... we headed down to other area....... the GREENS.

The vegetable farm, consist of the cactus, cherry tomato farm as well....
Didn't manage to see any red cherry tomato (only found the greens one)
I not too sure do they sell the vegetables, but if they do.... it will be very fresh ones : )

Well, we were there till around 5 something, and headed up to Genting Highlands...
Freakin' chill evening.

That's our short trip....
Sometimes.... it's not necessary to give ourself a break via somewhere far.....
We do have pleasant places to go....
It's our choice.

Good Trip!

Part 3: THE FOOD!

Orchid Farm @ Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands

Alright, my blog won't be only post about food...
There will be also places that I visited....
So, recently on last Friday, I brought my foodie companion up to Gohtong Jaya for short day trip.

Why Gohtong Jaya?
Well, I got to know Dumpty luv Orchid... and I was googling the other day where can I find orchid farm in Malaysia (particularly in KL/Selangor)....
Well,I have the choices in Sg.Besi (I think), Ulu Yam and Gohtong Jaya (both actually the same owner).

I decided to head over to Gohtong Jaya instead... (come on.. see flowers, of course need to be somewhere chill and cosy at the same time isn't it?)

I can't say it's easy to find (if you coming from KL) as you need to make a U-Turn after the Police Check-Point....
It's opposite the Memorial Park instead.....
I was lucky as I made the U-turn.. or else I guess I've already went all the up to Genting.

Took some pictures... have a look : )

SNAPSHOTS:

Of course going over there, it has the purpose.... we decided to get one home with us....
After few rounds of "hunting".... 

Cost RM 45 (Orchid), RM10 for the pot, RM 15 for fertilizer....

It's a great short trip and fun too  : )
