Bentong Trip By our SS2B Ladies on April 05, 2012

Jiran Wanita embarked on a trip on April 05, 2012 to discover the beauty and attractions of the small town of Bentong and its surrounding area. We had wanted to take a bus load, but considering the location ( some roads not accessible via bus ) and the high cost of renting the bus, we went on a small group basis. We hope to share our experiences and information so that it may be useful for those interested in future outings.

The itinerary for the trip:
-Arrive in Bentong market- shopping for local products.

Famous- Bentong ginger,Tau-foo, Tau-foo-pok,pineapple and kayar 'kok',local kueh... ( we wanted to buy the live-chicken and duck too, as they looked so healthy).


-Breakfast at famous stalls and coffee shop.


-Enjoy at Chagma Water Fall ( make sure you bring extra change of clothes )


-Visit kayar and pineapple 'kok' making family, buy ...buy...


-Afternoon tea ( refreshing coconut drink) at Valley Resort, Raub ( 15 minutes drive from town of Bentong ) and farm visit.


-Optional visit Gotong Jaya farm visit.


-Dinner at Bukit Tinggi.
'World famous' Bentong Ginger!

Lunch with our Tai-Chi Ladies on April 16, 2012

On 16th April 2012, the "Golden Sunshine" girls of SS2B got together for their annual lunch. The oldest among us is 86 and the youngest and newest addition is none other then yours truly.
It is indeed not easy to wake up so early( 5.30am ). However, looking at the happy healthy faces of our golden girls, there is motivation to join in the healthy practices. Start early and you will maintain your youth and agility. Hopefully when i am of their age, i shall be as healthy!
