I love flowers!! LOTS!! If you are wondering how I got stuck with a husband that never believes in giving flowers... its because he spent the money on buying me chilli crabs for supper every month... as he claims.
Back to Cameron... the weather here does the floral good. Roses, lilies, orchids, morning glories, hibiscus etc flourish beautifully even in the wild. YES! Lilies that we pay 7bucks per stalk is here in the wild and you can get a dozen for 5 ringgits in the market.
We had to go to the Rose Valley although roses are not in my favourite list. There are rows and rows of different breeds and all in bloom. There's my favourite daisies and gerberas though and other unique flowers. The flowers still pale in comparison to those seen in London/Amsterdam and doesn't smell as strong as well... but lovely in their own ways, especially if compared to those available in Singapore. Oh well... you know.
One will not miss strawberry farms here.. there's so many to choose from but we travelled to look for KHM farm. It's really small and there wasn't any strawberries for plucking nor available for sale cos most were still green. We came here as its recommended to have the best homemade jams and ice cream, which later verified by Mark that their jam does taste better. Oh well, we did walk off with a bottle of strawberry topping after tasting it with the ice cream.
Oh my, the pasar malam there is unforgettable with rows of stalls selling flowers(yes, again), fruits, vegetables and snacks. The fruits were vibrant in colours especially the strawberries, but though being juicy... it lacks of the fragrance and sweetness. The vegetables are lovely!!! Being the 'auntie', i just had to go "ohhh" and "wow" at those super fresh and pretty veggies. And what's more, these fresh stuffs were being fried and steamed at other stalls. We bought sweet potatoes home.. 3 packs and skipped the popular sweet corns. No, it was good really... its really 'sweet' corns, so much so we thought it was saturated with sugar syrup. I didn't really fancy serving 'dessert' kind of soups for dinner so I gave it a miss. Oh yah, try out the fried mushrooms if you have the chance to.
Most importantly... the flowers there were so cheap, even Mark couldn't resist getting me a bunch of champagne roses..heheheh
