By the time we finished our lunch at Tringkap Restaurant, it was about 1.30 pm. Our friend suggested making one more stop at the Last Stop. If I am not mistaken, this is called the Last Stop, Cameron Highlands. We were glad we stopped here because we get to hand picked some broad beans or kacang parang in Malay. It was selling at MYR 10 per kilo.
We were each given a plastic bag and a pair of scissors to pick the beans.
It was fun and we get to choose the beans we wanted.
After we have picked the broad beans or kacang parang, we came upon these fruits called Cameron Apples, selling at MYR 8 per kilo. I regretted not buying some to taste because I have not tasted these fruits before.
There were also lots of passion fruits hanging overhead.
Big Hydrangea cluster
Pale Blue Hydrangea.
Customers can also pick their own strawberries.
Vegetable seedlings.
These were the broad beans I picked and bought.
Bought a bundle of Dragon Beard veggie for MYR 2.
(Loong soh choy in Cantonese)
We stopped at a friend's wholesaler place to buy these.
Squash or pumpking? Selling at MYR 8 (if I remember correctly)
I also bought these 4 sweet corns selling at MYR 3.50 per piece.
I removed the outer covering and I steamed them for our lunch.
And I cooked the broad beans with some ladies fingers (okra) harvested from my own garden. I used dried shimps, some prawn paste, some bird's eye chilies and garlic.
By the time we were ready to leave for the lowland, it was about 2.20 pm. By then the sky had turn dark.
After a short distance, it started to pour and it was raining heavily for most part of the journey. The rain only stopped just before we reach Simpang Pulai.
Thank God for clear vision in spite of the heavy rain and safe journey all the way home.
My constant boast is God. I can never thank you enough!

ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day, Nancy. ☺
Hi Sandee, I love all kind of veggies too. Have a fantastic day!
DeleteWe have places to pick our own strawberries, but not to many pick your veggies places. What you chose looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. I have picked strawberries before but this is the first experience picking beans. I am thinking of picking the Cameron apples next.
DeleteI have never seen beans like this, just hanging! Fascinating. Oh, we had to drive through thick fog on Sunday night. It scares me, you cannot see in front of you.
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, I really enjoyed picking those beans. Thank God, the vision was quite clear and most drivers were driving at safe speed.
DeleteYou visit the most interesting places!!! Louis Dean has a garden this year and is growing okra along with tomatoes, cucumbers, perrpers and onions. Nothing any better than freshly picked produce!!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine all those plants in Louis Dean's garden. Very rewarding to harvest our own produce. I too have okra, cherry tomatoes and pepper in my garden. Have a great day!
DeleteWell worth stopping at the Last Stop as the fruits and veg on offer are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you arrived safely. Lovely old doors and windows at the museum.
Thank you, Christine. It was a wonderful short holiday but it was great to be home safely. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteWhat moody skies!
ReplyDeleteThe sky is very unpredictable. It can suddenly change from a clear blue sky to dark sky, followed by heavy downpour.
DeleteExcellent post (as always)!Thank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beauty. Have a nice day!
DeleteThose broad beans look like perfect specimens.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the proper name of the beans but they are broad ones.
DeleteLove the pictures of vegetables.. My bean plants are not growing.. :( :(
ReplyDeleteHi Krishna. My bean plants are also not growing even after a few tries. Have a good day!
DeleteThe veggies look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lady Fi. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteOo so fun to pick your own beans! I call those 'runner beans' though.
ReplyDeleteAs for those 'Cameron apples', I tried them many years ago and they were tasteless. Hope to lessen your regret at not trying them haha.
Thank you, Stacy. I don't know the name of the beans. They are broad so I just refer to them as broad beans. Lol! Oh I thought the Cameron apples is something new. Ha ha you have lessen my regret but I would want to try to satisfy my curiosity. Have a great day!
DeleteThese fruits look wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. Have a happy day!
DeleteBroad beans here look nothing like that and the ones we grow in our garden we only use the beans! The pods are cooked only if they are very young.
ReplyDeleteThe ones in your picture look more like what we call Runner bean, also known as flat beans, helda beans and romano beans.
Love passion fruit but it does not grow well here. Take care Diane
Thank you, Diane. I didn't know the name of the beans, just refer to them since they are broad. Now I know they are Runner beans. We picked the tender ones. Passion fruit plants grow well even in the lowland.
DeleteThe Heritage House looks fascinating! I love the vegetable bounty! made my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. Have a terrific day!
DeleteI love that picture of the beans...I love to pick green beans of any kind. Love to eat them, too! This was a great post...enjoyed your antiques, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. I enjoy picking beans too and I will probably do it again on my future trip. Have a happy day!
DeleteThose Hydrangeas look amazing
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne. Those are big clusters. Our lowland ones are of smaller clusters. Have a terrific day!
