Tour of Pahang - Brief Stop at Bentong

On our way back from Sg. Lembing to KL, we made a detour to Bentong to enable the ladies to buy the famous Bentong ginger.
 
Promoter of Bentong ginger says that this ginger is cultivated in "heavenly" environment with fresh and cool air, crystal clear water and fertile, moist and tropical soil in Bukit Tinggi. It is the best of the best.
In Bentong, my faithful Garmin GPS picked up this famous road side store next to the wet market which sells taufu fa.  We had no hesitation to try it. The man told me that his family has been running this store for over 50 years!
The smiles speak for its quality.
 
Post note: Thanks to my wife's industrious effort, Bentong ginger is now planted in the backyard of my house. Hopefully, in not too distant future, supply of Bentong ginger to our kitchen will be a mere 10-20 feet away!
