Smells of tradition and effort 传统的味道和努力 ...


Fried radish cake
菜头粿 ...

Brinchang Night Market, Cameron Highlands
27 Nov 2010 ...



If only you can smell what's cooking here ...



... on one side are sweet corns ...



... and next to it is the local fried radish cake ...



... when the order is taken,  he put onto it some eggs to stir fry and
 sprinkle a few other things into the mixture ...



... this pack is mine to go ...
it is not just Cameron Highlands, but you can find it in all
towns typically Chinese hawkers on Night Markets ...

Fried radish cake (or "Chai Tow Kway ") seems to be a 
Teochew dish, is an Asean Recipe. 
The one which you see here is the
Black version (some fried it White) as well ...
Anyhow, this recipe uses a very high ratio of radish to flour....
I don't cook, but I suppose you can check out the detail Recipe
on the internet by just typing "Chai Tow Kway Recipe" ...

Morning at Brinchang 早上在金马仑高原槟林樟 ...


Nov 26-27, 2010
Brinchang, Cameron Highlands ...

The town of Brinchang is located some 70 kilometres to the northeast of Tapah which is 
accessible from the old Tapah - Cameron Highlands route, passing by Ringlet, Habu and Tanah Rata. 
Today, it is much better to use the new access road from Simpang Pulai to get to Brinchang 
through Kg Raja and Blue Valley. The route may take longer but as the exit to Simpang Pulai is near Ipoh but we found that this road is very much easier as it is much less winding then the old road ...



We reached Brinchang town at 2pm and just the right time to check-in to the hotel,
 Brichang town as seen from our hotel room ...
我们下午两点钟到达槟林樟山城镇和恰到好处的时间办理酒店的登机手续,
从我们镇的酒店房间可以看到槟林樟山城镇 ...



Early next Morning, I visited the  Fruits & Vegetables Market at Brinchang
while my family is still in bed, lots of variety and reasonably priced (I think) ...
第二天一大早,当我的家人仍然在床时; 
我访问了槟林樟山的水果与蔬菜市场; 种类很多,价格合理...



fresh fruits, vegetables are brought in to the town by these four wheel drive vehicles
from nurseries and farmlands all over Cameron Highlands ...
应该是这些四轮驱动车从金马仑高原各地农田把新鲜水果,蔬菜运来这个地方 ...



A mosque is typical of all towns in Malaysia, however;
further down the road, there is also an Indian temple and a Chinese Temple ...
清真寺是典型每一个马来西亚的城镇都有的,但是;
附近也有一个印度寺庙和华人庙宇...



I think there is a little bit of Tudor Architectural style even in these new shops  ...
我觉得这些新的商店有点英格兰 "都铎式" 建筑风格 ...



The town is noticeably bustling with construction activities. 
Adjoining hill slopes are being developed into commercial outlets of
hotels, shops or apartments.
这个镇明显的有非常热闹的建筑活动。
附近的山坡也正在发展成为商业网点酒店,商店或公寓。
