About two weeks ago, my family and I went to Fraser’s Hill, which is like the little England of Malaysia. It lives up to its name because there’s a lot of “English” stuff there.

The road up to the hill was bumpy and shaped like a snake, so I got motion sickness. I got better, thankfully! The place we stayed in was minimalistic and nice, but I don’t have a photo of it.

After that, we went for tea and scones. It’s like a light meal for the British. A scone is a small cake, usually eaten with cream and strawberry jam, and it’s really popular in the UK. The people of the UK simply love it.

They are so serious about it, they even have a guide on how to eat scones. First, cut the scone in half with a knife. Then, you either follow the Devonshire method, where you put the cream first then the jam. If you live by the Cornish method, you’ll go jam first, then the cream. (Small fact: The Queen preferred the latter.)

See? I did my homework.

Okay, anyway, we ate at a place called Ye Olde Smokehouse. Their interior is pretty nice. It looks like a royalty home.

The scones and cakes were amazing! I loved the tea as well. They were pretty expensive, but I guess they were worth it.

Then, we walked in the streets for a bit. The weather was really cold and there were lots of mist. It didn’t feel like a usual, scorching hot day in KL.

We spent the rest of the night at the apartment, and had steamboat for dinner.
