On the way back from the tea plantation we decided to stop at this cottage on the way back to town that is supposed to have the best tea and scones in the Cameron Highlands. They were sadly disappointing and overpriced. We couldnt even walk around in the garden because they were filming a Malaysian soap opera there. As we were paying to leave we told the director that if they needed any western extras they we could sit in. Half joking half serious and they said that they would pick us up later that evening!
We got a ride back to the hostel and prepared ourselves for the camera. Basically tried to make ourselves not look like backpackers and waited for them to pick us up.
Once back at the cottages we sat around for a very long while while they were finishing up with the scene that they didnt need us for.
We had a little break for dinner where everyone feasted on 2 huge garbage bags of durian.
My first time trying durian, not my favourite fruit for sure. Kinda like a mix of garlic, cheese, and other unknown tastes.
We had to pretend eat some really disgusting food, It had been sitting out all day but they said to make it look like we were actually eating it. They knew how bad it was because you could see how sorry they were because the food was made by the sub par cottage kitchen.
Us and the star actor.
The extras, director, make up and crew.
We saw the star actor later in his finale on our TV back in the hostel.
