Cameron Highlands meals

This is the last of my travelogue on Cameron Highlands. This place is not known as a food paradise but it is still possible to find nice meals there. Of course, breakfast was partaken at the Century Pines Resort & Hotel where we stayed but for our other meals, we took them at various places in Tanah Rata and Brinchang.

On the day we arrived, lunch was at a cosy place called Downtown Cafe. Food was agreeable with my family but the dish we liked best was fried koay teow with venison meat and ginger slices. There's plenty of free WiFi in Cameron Highlands and the Downtown Cafe is one of them.


Dinner was at Brinchang. We would have preferred to take anything but steamboat, but could not succumb to the temptation. When the food came, we were a little disappointed to see lots of vegetables hidden beneath the miserable chunks of meat and fishballs. But surprisingly, the vegetables were good. And after we had cracked the eggs into the steamboat soup and added in the beehoon, it seemed like a feast. Here's a little secret: ask the restaurant to give you some freshly fried garlic in garlic oil. That dash of garlic oil really enhanced our steamboat beehoon soup experience.


And finally on the day we left Cameron Highlands, we decided to revisit the T-Cafe for lunch. I guess we ordered too much from the menu because the meals never seemed to finish coming. Our favourites: the T-Cafe scones served with butter, fresh cream and homemade strawberry jam. Another little secret: the T-Cafe doesn't have any WiFi service but don't let it discourage you from stealing the free WiFi signals emanating from the Merry Brown outlet directly below the T-Cafe.
