Roadside stalls of vegetable and strawberry are typical in Cameron Highlands and there are many visitors and the local people enjoying shopping there. One of my favorite stalls is mini potted plants selling mini cactus and succulents. They are only RM 10 for a pack of six plants.
Salted chicken is also famous cuisine. Visitors often bring it home as a souvenir.
Instead of salted chicken, we brought this chicken doll below sold at life shop, Atelier. He always welcomes us and guests sitting at the entrance.
