We arrived during lunch hour and they escorted us to the cafe. The interior of the cafe were as though you are in the jungle. It can be seen by on the wall, ceiling and the furniture used. The tables and chairs are made to look like three trunk. Another interesting thing about the cafe is that the floor is full with reflexology pebbles. Well, the concept is nature and health so it might be painful walking around the cafe but worth every second (just imagine the waiters & waitress walking with heavy trays of food...uuuu they must be really healthy!). It is an experience shrouded with uniqueness and originality I must say.
Their specialty is Briyani Rice and various types of tea. This is no ordinary lamb,beef or chicken briyani and not any plain tea. The uniqueness is that they used many kinds of herbs as the ingredients in preparing the dish. Everyone probably thinks that it might taste weird as not many of us like to taste the bitterness or sourness of herbs and spices ( I admit that I am one of those people...). However, everything is blended well and the briyani tasted really good. You can choose from among the wide range of herbal tea and each of them has its own health benefits. I ordered Garcinia tea or its local name, asam gelugor. The benefits : lowers the production of cholesterol and fatty acid, increase the production of glycogen in the liver, and increase body's production of glycogen in the liver. The most important for the ladies~ it suppresses appetite so it can be used as dietary supplement for weight loss and appetite control.
After lunch, we were given the key for our Log Cabin and the worker guide us to our cabin which is located quite far from the reception area. My own estimation is 1-2 km up the hill). The road is bumpy and driving a Myvi making it bumpier...I'll give you an expensive tip, drive a 4 wheeler. The farm is 3,200 acres so every building was build away from each other. The Log Cabin can accommodate two to three person. They provide 3 beds, air conditioner, a small fridge, iron with the board, and there is a bathtub in the toilet.
The resort has a number of facilities for visitors who wish to make the place as a destination for accommodation, the Log Cabin, Dormitory and VIP suites. Everywhere you go you'll be surrounded by trees and herbs which makes the place so beautiful and comfortable. Never felt so fresh waking up in the morning breathing fresh air from the mountain.

The Sauna room where my sister and I tried for the first time. Towels and batiks were provided and there is a small wooden locker installed at the back of the door to put our belongings. The sauna are heated using steam from underground. The rock are slowly heated and herbal infused water is then splashed onto the rocks to produce the steams. Spices used are All spices, eucalyptus and tea tree which can treat multiple health problems. For example, my sister and I both have sinus and it is said that breathing in the steam can cure the illness (InsyaAllah...). My aunt tried the traditional massage which last for 1 hour and she said it was painful, but the person who came before us enjoyed it. So it depends~
