Hi guys, I am still reminiscing my recent break at Strawberry Park Resort, Cameron Highlands hehehe! 
After we fill our tummy with the delicious hot pies, we went to check out our room at block F.  Miki these days is extremely gedik and loves posing to the camera, but you see lah.. his poses! Tonggek ada.. semua ada! Haishh…

 

Miki tonggek!

Anyway, we stayed at room 627 and once I opened the door, my eyes was fixed at the pretty balcony. Immediately I said to myself that I love it here! Hahaha… FYI my work at the office is extremely hectic and it has been a long time since I got a break. Relaxing in cool, pretty gardens, looking out at beautiful scenery while putting my feet up sipping hot tea was what I really needed and thank goodness to Strawberry Park Resort, Cameron Highlands…

The relaxation and peace I finally got!

Balcony with glorious highland bougainvillaea.

Lovely little cooler and LCD TV.

The design of the room was very much to my liking because it was both modern and rustic at the same time.  You can see matching damask heavy drapes and armchairs plus wallpaper and the wooden flooring is very comfortable because it can get very chilly especially at night in Cameron.

The beds was very soft and comfy. Miki jumped up and down like little monkey here… haishhh

The bathroom was larger than life! I wish it was not so cool in Cameron so that I can take long baths but I am not a fan of  SEJUK so mandi kerbau only lah! hahahaha

Check out those black and white tiles! That’s so old school! Where did they get these tiles? I feel like remodelling my master bathroom  now! hahaha

 

After lepakking for awhile in that cosy room went out to check the playground for Miki to play. I think this hotel is definitely suitable for families with young kids because of the spacious rooms and this huge wooden play area.

Miki grinning happily at the tire swing. He has never seen this kind of swing before…

The huge wooden monkey bar!

The “hanging bridge”

At the great big wooden slides.

My naughty and hyper little kid!

That night, we were treated with scrumptious BBQ dinner at Jim Thompson Terrace. The BBQ buffet spread was extensive and mouth watering. They roasted  chicken, lamb, beef and even duck out on the balcony. Tehy also have bbq seafood, sate and spicy dory which was really delicious and pedas!

While I walloped everything, enjoyed his buttered corn on cob and all the fresh sauteed vegetables. If he hadn’t indulged on the pasta, confirmed my son is a vegan! haha

 Yummy duck, chicken, lamb and beef to choose from…

The rosemary lamb skewer was so good! 

Yums.. They have the fresh pasta section, where you can choose your favorite toppings and sauce.. from bolognese, carbonara etc… and they have these fresh arrays of seafood like big prawns, clams and calamari.

That’s me taking some bread and tomato soup that Miki loves as well. My boy eats so healthily. Hahaha
Check out all the desserts..

Cake galore!

The Jim Thompson Terrace is an all-day dining outlet serving a wide variety of popular local and western cuisine. It is situated at the Lobby floor and open from 7.00am until 10.30pm (last order). From my experience, the staff are very friendly and helpful and most importantly the place is kids friendly. I was greeted and served by Encik Zamri, the F&B Manager himself.

Thank you so much Strawberry Park for the hospitility. But oops.. I have more stories to write and pretty pictures to publish! Later~~~

Despite my maddening morning sickness, we went on a terrific holiday at Cameron Highlands two weeks ago. In case you haven’t heard I really love that place for the cool weather, the pretty flowers and the fresh fruits. This time it was much better because we stayed at a very nice hotel – The Strawberry Park Resort.

So much I want to write about the holiday but first! The most important part of any vacations at all.. is definitely – MAKAN-MAKAN!

Hehe, after we checked in at the Strawberry Park, instead of going to check out our room, I insist to check on their famous pies. In the afternoons, freshly baked pies are served at Jim Thompson Terrace and if the weather permits we can enjoy them  at the Garden Terrace.

They have many to choose from like Cornish Pie, Leek and Potato,  Traditional Chicken Pie, Chicken Cordon Blue etc. We ended up ordering Steak and Mushroom (RM18.00) and Strawberry Pie (RM18.00).

Here is my sweet strawberry pie! Pretty and delicious! Once you break the puff pastry, the fresh strawberry filling came oozing out.. The pie is also served with french fries and strawberry and cream. My favorite way of eating masam Cameron berries. hehe

Azman ordered Steak and Mushroom Pie, and I am telling it’s so good! They serve it with salad, french fries and gravy to go with the pie. The beef is tender and the mushroom so succulent. I love it!

Steak and Mushroom Pie

Tuang gravy kasi banjir! Yumss

 Here are some photos of us at the Garden Terrace. I simply love outdoor dining and enjoying our afternoon tea with hot freshly baked pie at the garden is such a bliss. Strawberry Park Resort has lovely garden in its compound with exotic highland flowers that I simply love. But Miki got really freaked out with this plant. It’s a common garden plant that we can see in the low land as well, but here in the cool weather, the flowers grow so big! haha

That’s me and Chimiki!

At the entrance to the cool and breezy Garden Terrace. We will be back for more Steak and Mushroom Pie! Wait for us!

It’s December everybody! As you all might have known I am once again a preggy Mama, still battling the fierce first trimester with vomits and fatigue but nevertheless excited, oh how much I am excited!?

Hehe call me crazy or whatever guys, but let me show you what I got for Adik Miki. It is the Fisher-Price’s Healthy Care™ Deluxe Booster Seat, yay!

Apparently this is one of the latest product of Fisher Price and just like the others, this booster seat is freaking cute! As a Mom that is a bit obsessed with safety and quality, let me tell you why the Deluxe Booster Seat is a must have.

First of all, we already have a high chair at home that Miki sits on. Although it is not so bulky but I don’t think  I want another of that thing in the house, just where would I keep it? The Deluxe Booster Chair is just awesome because it is not only portable, it can be strapped to most of the dining chairs you can imagine. Senang sangat!

You can just bring it anywhere, friends’ houses, balik kampung, even restaurants knowing that you baby will get to sit comfortably on a clean, stable chair.

Fisher Price’s Healthy Care™ Deluxe Booster Seat

You may wonder how can one baby chair fits all but here let me show you. First you place the Booster Seat on any chair, over here it’s my pink IKEA’s at my breakfast nook.

 Then you secure one cute blue strap at the back of the chair:

Another at the  bottom of the chair; and wallahhh… 

A nice comfy sturdy chair for the lil one!

The tray that you see here is actually adjustable and removable. That means, once lil baby grows out of it, you can just keep it away. So this seat can be used for years! The trays are very easy to clean and for those who has a dishwasher, the trays are even dishwasher-friendly. So easy-peasy for lazy Mommy! haha! Unfortunately I am a typical Malaysian, mana ada dishwasher! :p

If you look closely, the trays are very smooth, there are no crevices to trap crumbs at all. Very good lah the designers, they think of the design sampai cam tu sekali kan?

 The feeding tray, which snaps in place over the main tray, comes together with a snap-on lid; allowing food items to be covered in place when not touched.  Measuring 8.5” x 15” x 12’, with a weight capacity of up to 45 pounds, the booster seat provides great on-the-go portability with its over-the-shoulder straps and compact foldable feature.  With this portable feature, you can easily move from feeding baby in the kitchen to having him join the family at the dining table during mealtime. 

 

The blue tray is the main tray that sticks to the seat.

The green lid covers food to keep it clean! Amazing! 

Here is the adjuster, to keep the tray comfy around baby’s belly. cute!
So there you go, if any of you Momma would like to get one of these Fisher Price Healthy Care™ Deluxe Booster Seat, just are available in leading department stores, toy stores and hypermarkets nationwide at a retail price of RM199.90. Shopping for baby is so nice ya!? Azman is not gonna be so happy but I am already plotting a shopping plan! Haha…

But first, Miki’s 4 birthday party next month! I am so excited! have a great week everyone!
