Asking for direction for my One Day Trip to Raub/Bentong

[jonaChong]

Hi,
I am planning an One-Day-Trip to Raub/Bentong this coming school holiday for the families.

Places of interest: Oyster Mushroom farm, Peanut Factory, Tofu Factory, Elephant Sanctuary and Deer Farm.

I manage to find the direction to Elephant Sanctuary and Deer Farm on the Net but not others.

Therefore, I would like to ask a favor here on how to get to Oyster Mushroom farm, Peanut Factory and Tofu Factory from Karak Highway.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.There is a peanut factory in Sempalit Raub. It is about 5km from Raub on Jalan Lipis going toward Benta.

The factory is by the roadside on the right.
There is a big signboard outstide the factory.
The name is Kebun Sea Loy, Kacang Goreng Sempalit.
Lot 184 Batu 3 1/2 Jalan Lipis.

Dunno about the Mushroom and Tofu Factory. I would like to know also.

Just after Bentong and the new village, there is a resort known as Casabrina where beautiful Balinese homes are built on the top of the hills amongst the clouds... RM14 million each with infinity-type swimming pool surrounding 3/4 of every house... take a look just to be amazed!

Thanks for the clue and advice.

So far what I found is that the mushroom farm is located in Bilut and beancurd factory is located somewhere in Bukit Koman after reading this: http://www.nstp.com.my/Current_News/TravelTimes/article/FeatureStory/20070225123416/Article/index_html.

I think Casabrina is worth visiting after seeing the pictures here:

Other than sight-seeing, do try the food there especially the famous Raub curry chicken at Rata restaurant. Personally I prefer the chicken rendang and the fried fish but all 3 are very very good. And get some durian if they are in season.

I love the food at Restaurant 126 at Bukit Tinggi (Mobile: 016-951 6818 or 012-225 1894).

Highly recommended by my friend who lives in Selesa Home, coz the price is not cut-throat tourist rate. The owner is a friendly guy in his 30s or late 20s. You can ask him to recommend their specialty. We had a steam fish that came in a claypot, with lotsa ginger, yummy! We had 6 dishes for 10 pax and it came to RM100 only! Including rice and drinks.

My friend also said there's a ginger factory in Bentong that is worthy of a visit. Bentong is very popular with its ginger, known to be very spicy! Try to buy some.

After almost a year of postponement, we finally made the trip to Bentong and Raub last school holiday.
I am posting the addresses of following places for the sake of others in future:

Ladang Cendawan Bilut
396, Kg Baru,
28800 Kurah Bilut, Bentong
Pahang. Tel: 09-2377002
Direction: On the way to Raub from Bentong, turn to Mempaga (on your right) from main road. After about 2 or 3kms. Look out for the mushroom farm on your left as there is no sign board at all.

Tofu Factory at Raub:
No. 121, Bukit Koman,
27600 Raub, Pahang
Tel: 09-3553048

Direction to Elephant santuary:
By Road : From Kuala Lumpur, take the highway to Lanchang.
Exit Lanchang. Pay toll and turn right. Now, it's a straight road to Kuala Gandah. Don't mind the signs: Kuala Lipis or Bentong. Just go straight to Kuala Gandah Elephant Conservation Centre.

Detail indeed, if got GPS coordinates then lagi better. Haven't explore that side of town before so may make a trip there.

Really nice of you to share, Jona.

Just curious, did you manage all these sights in 1 day?? Or was it 2D1N? where did you stay if so? Any recommended itinerary?

I heard that Bentong ginger mostly come from Bukit Tinggi area. Anyway, a friend of mine was looking for old-Bentong-ginger. Any contact to share?
