I’ve been to Cameron many times, and I think I should be able to give some extra information on Cameron Highlands.
1. The new route (from Simpang Pulai) up to Cameron is much better and easier to drive up compared to the old route (at Tapah), but beware of speed traps when driving up. Each ticket costs you RM300.
2. Stuffs from China. If you are up in Cameron Highland, there are only one place for you to visit at night, which is the pasar malam (night market). Goods from the pasar malam are 90% from china, which includes strawberries, honey, toys, clothes, etc..
3. Corns from Cameron Highland can be ate raw. The corns are fresh, juicy and sweet.
Raw corn to be eaten!
4. Having steamboat up in Cameron Highland is nice, cause you won’t be sweating while drinking the hot soup, and while the hot soup flow in your stomach, you feel so warm and satisfied.
5. Plants that can be bought on Cameron Highland, 75% of them will die few weeks or months later. So don’t blardy waste money on them and don’t listen to those salesperson bullshit!
6. Strawberry tells lies! They can be big and red yet sour!
Red and sour strawberries!
7. The top spot in Cameron Highland is at Gunung Brinchang, where you will see many antenna towers over there.
Me and my lovely cousin.
8. Cameron Highland is getting hotter and more tourists each year.
9. Don’t wash your hands after you pee, your meals.. Just don’t wash your hands if you don’t want to end up freezing yourself.
Well, I think that’s enough advice from me to you. Hope you don’t fall on those traps when visiting Cameron Highland k!

Quoted for truth, mate.
The photo you took says it all.
I went to Cameron in early October and ate the corns that looked exactly like the ones in this photo of yours.
Yellow and with bits of whitish corn thingie.
VERY JUICY AND YUMMY!
