Short & budget vacation to Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

For the first time being a Malaysia, day b4 yesterday, i went to Bukit Tinggi, Pahang.
This is my first time went there.
I used to go to Cameron Highland several times.
Genting Highland quite few times.
But never been Bukit Tinggi even though it's nearer to KL compare with Cameron or Genting.

Last thursday, my BFF, Miss Natrah the lawyer YM me.
She asked either i got plan throughout this weekend.
I said, so far no.
Then she asked me to go to some sort of quick + budget vacation.
After heard bout the room rental & other expenses which for me i thought its quite cheap, i agreed to follow her to Bukit Tinggi.
(By the way, evtm we planned for vacation, it rarely happened, but if ad hoc or last minute plan, it's always like dream come true, hahahaha. That's y i dont like to plan my vacation)

I pushed off from my home at around 1.45 (after pray zohor).
Then, i park my car at Natrah's house at Batu 8, Gombak (near UIA)
After that, we decided to have some look & walk at Berjaya Hills (also knows as Tropical Colmar)
We'd to pay RM12 entrance fee.

Here, got 3 nice places to visit.
First, France Town near Tropical Colmar Hotel.
The view for me was so marvellous.
Perfect for couple in love as this place is so cozy & pleasant.
Although it is not as cool as Cameron, but for me it was really nice place.
It is suitable for person who likes landscape & photography.
While there, we are entertained by France street yet soft music.

Then, by shuttle lorry, we went up to Japanese Garden & Botanical Park.
Japanese landscape that's really nice & cozy is available here.
Also got Japanese traditional house.
For those who wanna wear Kimono (Japan traditional costume), can do so & take picture.
What i really like here is the landscape & the park.
The bamboo, pebbles stone & water feature are so nice & pleasant.
But in Botanical park, there's not much to tell about as it only display many fauna including Periuk Kera plant there.

After went up to Berjaya Hills, we went down to check in to our apartment.
Natrah rented 1 bedroom apartment at Selesa Hillhomes.
Eventhough this resort only 3 star resort, but i really satisfied with the room.
The room is so clean & tidy, but we only paid RM158 per night.

This RM158 apartment accommodated with:
1. 1 kitchen c/w microwave, electric jug, kitchen cabinet, refrigerator & sink
2. 1 hall c/w 1 two seated sofa, coffee table and TV complete with Astro Channel
3. 1 bedroom c/w 2 single bed, 1 cupboard, 1 make up wardrobe
4. 1 bathroom c/w bathtub, toilet bowl, sinks & water heater









After isya', we had our dinner at "Warung Kita" stall that serve tomyam style menu.
The dishes was so great, but service is a bit hampeh.
Service was so slow.
That night, we didn't go nwer, only stayed at the room while had some chitchatting.

As for me, the room is really worth our RM158 and moreover, it is inclusive of breakfast.
Eventhough the breakfast wasn't as good as 5 star hotels, but its ok for me.
I feel, the time was running so fast as it was already Sunday & i had to go back coz tomorrow (today) is working day.

Overall, this place is really suitable for budget & last minute planned vacation as there is no much nice place to visit and the rate of the hotel is quite cheap.
It is so cozy for person who just wanna relax & release all the tense & stress at the office.

Definitely im gonna come back.
But, we did some plan to go to Kalumpang soon b4 our main vacation to Langkawi on January 2011.
