Climbing hills and Yong Tau Foo

Somehow after having tea at Cameron, I've decided to shed some kilos and perhaps regain my fitness by going to the now 'super famous' Broga Hills for a climb. Using my new toy, the E-trex Legend GPS, finding the place was easy. The GPS works like a charm.

Nestled between oil palm estates near Semenyih, this must be the most photographed place in blogosphere. Lines and lines of people literally queued up and down the tracks. Managed to scale up all the 4 peaks, took some wonderful photos and then slowly tracked down. Luckily the weather was kind.


Opposite the hill, at the mouth of the trail, there was a rabbit farm where you could enter (with a fee of course) and play with ponies, monkeys or rabbits. I guess some rabbit products were for sale also.


Then we literally breezed past Broga town and stopped by at a temple at the end of the town. Where there is a temple, there will be lots of Chinese people visiting. Hmm...

Later we tracked down to the old Ampang town in search of the famous Yong Tau Foo. Thank god for the GPS. There were 3 shops side by side and they were packed to the brim. Perhaps 30-40 table in each shop were completely full. Managed to secure a table in the less popular one among the three. The food was delicious to me. The business appears to be family run with many teenagers who looked like school kids taking orders and clearing the table. The cashier appears to be not more than 15 years old. It just makes me wonder, if they were already raking in tons of money, what's the motivation for them to get a paper degree? Paper degrees are more or less a dime a dozen nowadays. Even with a degree nowadays, one can hardly make ends meet what more compared to the Yong Tau Foo business which they could make tens of thousands per day!
