Back to Nature thanks to the Good Widow

 

I was finally able to analyze my research survey data through SPSS software after hitting 100 responses by the second week of February 2023. It was not easy getting 100 responses to my questionnaire. Quantitative data analysis was (and still is) very new to me. One Sunday was needed to reconnect with Mother Nature and re-charge after work and study. My mum had not been outdoors for several months now so it was time to visit the nearest green hills to Kuala Lumpur (other than Genting Highlands). She hesitated to order tea-set from the cafe at Pineyard, Tanarimba preferring to gaze at the greenery beyond (as pictured above). The opening and closing hours of Pineyard are listed HERE. Her appetite returned as we headed to the quaint village of Bukit Tinggi for an early dinner. She was happy though with the seafood fried rice and stir-fried french beans with salted egg yolk that I ordered for our dinner. The Bentong Soy Sauce and Bentong Ginger were a happy find for her as well. The latter has been certified as a geographical indication in 2015 by the Agricultural Dept of Pahang and its popularity as a high-quality ingredient for cooking was acknowledged by Michelin Guide HERE. Dare I venture beyond and onwards to Bentong, Pahang one day? I just might.

Quaint village of Bukit Tinggi in Pahang. This road leads toward the police station.

My mum - contented with this dish of stir-fried french beans with salted egg yolk. 
Waiting for me at the entrance to the Tanarimba Halls.
Best view ever that Sunday afternoon.
