I was in the Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi today. It’s mostly known as the French Village in layman’s terms. Off from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sure, everyone is telling me how boring this place is, but you can’t get any closer to good quality air than here. Times are bad – Not a great time to go to waterfalls or rivers at Hulu Langat as a couple – Later kena tie to trees by sakai or kena catch away to boil soup. Akonana as main dish for meat source and me as soup condiment (bones).
All the pictures look so glam and lovely right? To be honest, the pictures are just telling a big fat lie.
If you expect a thrilling time at Berjaya Hills, please don’t bother coming here. It’s boring and dull and the street is less than half a kilometer long. The pictures are so colorful and wonderful – Don’t forget, there are lots of architects, engineers, designers and all sorts of artists to make sure everything looks photogenic enough to splay across advertisements and lure unsuspecting people to pay RM10 to walk the ‘village’.
But for us, we just wanted a cool, clean and safe getaway. So this will do.
So photogenic, so unreal. Pretty but utterly useless place.
Next round I come here, I’ll just head directly to the Japanese Tea Garden. Please do not be fooled by the name too – There is no garden for you to enjoy tea or whatnot. However, there is a pretty little cozy place to breathe and relax while sipping normal Japaneses green tea in one of the overpriced restaurants.
Views are pretty scenic too but no pics coz I do not want to promote a lousy place to my readers. I just want to remind you guys myself of the sweet time we spent together so here’s some couple pics to annoy you.
Akonana just finished yawning.
The environment at Japanese Tea Garden was so good we can just doze off amidst the cooling air and the warmth of the above average green tea served at the restaurant, listening to the songs of nature.
My dearest Akonana, I hope you enjoyed the time we had today. 3 months after I’m back from my trip, we’ll plan even more trips together, okay?
See lah no makeup at all, I look so unglam in pictures. Le sigh. But at the very least, I look like the world’s happiest chaborkia.
PS: First time we went to other states, ie. from Selangor – Pahang. Lol.
PPS: To the overprotective sibling I have, thank you for your care, but no thank you for your overwhelming paranoia, but thank you for all the love you have shown to me.
Berjaya Hills / Bukit Tinggi can be accessed by the Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway. Follow the signs to Genting Highlands, you’ll see signboards leading to Berjaya Hills along the way, follow that. You can’t miss it. When you have reached Berjaya Hills entrance, there will be two routes, one to the Japanese Tea Garden and the other to Colmar Tropicale. Japanese Tea Garden can be accessed by bus or walking after parking your car and the Colmar Tropicale can be accessed by parking your car and taking the lift / staircase to the lobby of the village.
