Colmar Tropicale - A French Theme Resort

Colmar Tropicale or some known as Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, sitting on the same mountain as Genting Highlands. Although so, you will not see it on the way to Genting as it turns to the other side of the mountain. My first visit here was during my 2nd Anniversary in November 2009 with my husband. The weather there is just nice and cool for a stroll but not as cold as we thought. It was as if we're in a small town in France with the building surrounding (they are the resorts). Even the road are carefully designed to create the atmosphere. You will not find KFC or any usual restaurants here... Only few and all specialty fine restaurants are available. We got ourselves a single room suite for below RM250 (online early bird promotion helps save alot...)

Lunch was simple with Burgers and Chicken Quarter Meal. Mmm... With more or less RM30 per pax the meal was satisfying enough for taste and tummy (think Kenny Rogers... after all... it's owned by Berjaya Group :p)

Ah.. and here comes dinner - my favourite part of the whole trip. French Restaurant named La Cigogne. Definitely a personal recommendation! The set meals are about RM80 per pax but trust me, their lamb chop~ EXCELLENT! I'd never had such lamb chop, so rich in spices and levels of taste~! (*drip drip drip*) The portions are small but most satisfying. I couldn't say more but to have two thumbs up. Western meal will never be the same after having a taste on it... Not to mention their customer service is unbelievably good and the environment - just romantic~♥

Ok... navigating away from the yummy food and on to the attractions :p We went to the Japanese Garden as well as the Rabbit Farm, all F.O.C if you're a in-house guest, else everything has an entrance fee, including the resort premises. Ladies, you can rent a kimono for RM20 if you want to have a go with the Japanese feel for that moment (well... was more into fish feeding that time I didn't pay much attention to the kimono rental service) Dun take it as an adventure trip or else you will be very disappointed. Take it as a relaxing trip and you will find yourself enjoying the walks and nature.

Overall, it's a relaxing holiday get-a-way... A place where everything is slowed down with not much of crowd and not much of commercialized entertainments, just a pure and simple "village" that you can sit by the cafe and wonder your day off... if you are interested, you can check out their website http://www.berjayahotel.com/berjayahills/index.asp
