[Lemang To' Ki, Bentong Pahang - 20 Dis 2018] Flashback

On the way back to Kuantan From Cameron Highland, we stopped at "Lemang To' Ki" for lunch.

"Lemang To' Ki" Delicious

Lemang To' Ki is a street restaurant at Batu 2, Jalan Tras Bentong Pahang (Google Map). Lemang is one of the popular traditional foods in Malaysia, made from glutinous rice, coconut milk, salt and cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick wrap with banana leaves in order to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo.

The bamboo tube containing glutinous rice, salt and coconut milk is placed slighly slanted on a small fire with the opening facing upwards and shoul be turned regulary in order to make it evenly cooked. It takes about 4-5 hours to cook "Lemang"

"Lemang" Cooked With a Fire (wood charcoal)

In Malaysia title To' Ki is refer to a grandfather or a male elder. And why this restaurants called Lemang To' Ki, i think this is like legacy food.

"Lemang" Ready to Eat With "Rendang"

Even the interior here is beautiful, visitor can see a lot of antique items are placed around the restaurant. And the place made from wood is definitely worth to take photos around. By its design of the place is enough points just to attract local and foreign people to take a lot inside

And not only bamboo rice (Lemang) is sold, beef and lot more beverages are available here. What's so special about this place is, you can see how their bamboo rice is made and cooked step by step and they are happy to show you how the done it.

[Cameron Highlands - (Last day) 2018

Last day in Cameron Highland, but we drove to Kea Farm Market, one most popular fruit and vegetable market in Cameron Highland. Located along the main road between Tringkap and Brinchang near to Copthorne Hotel. Capthorne Hotel is largest and highest resort, preched on a dramatic plateau near 1,600 meters higher over looking Brinchang Valley.

Outside view from hotel

Kea Farm Market

Opened early in the morning while fog crossing the market we must find car park carefully, because parking spaces scarce in this area. Many visitors usually park their car by the roadside. For those who drive, you might have to park your car further away then walk to the market (not far from market, just walk a few step hahahaha)

Small junction to Market

Markets stall on the left and right side of the road
