The objective of the trip was to have a small gathering among the few of us who were close back then and at the same time, to get away from the hot weather in the city.
We arrived at Tanah Rata around noon and one of our friend who was the guide of the trip; led us to this little cafe which is hidden in a corner along the row of the post office in Tanah Rata
It was quaint little shophouse and we proceeded to the staircase to go to the 2nd level of the shop.
It had a rather simple but yet comfortable interior; with the rattan chairs that seem to bring back old memories of my late grandmother (she used to have these chairs too!)
They even had a reading corner with some old comics (Archies!) lined up and there's even board games available. I guess this cafe caters as a quiet escapade for people who just want a quiet afternoon tea.
They are actually really famous for their pies, scones, desserts, etc.
The best part about Cameron/Highlands is that you never seem to have a need for aircond:)
Fish & Chips; but since I opted for Salad, the lady called it the Fish & Salad instead (RM14.90)
It was crispy, and I found the fish a little over fried as even the fillet/flesh inside was getting a little harder than it was supposed to be. It was also a little too dry for my taste.
However, I do think the portion of this is reasonable for the price they are charging and it is way more than what I can finish.
Chicken Lasagna (RM9.90)
I am not sure whether they were too hungry or they just didn't care anymore, this dish was very appetizing in their eyes.
Chicken Spaghetti (RM9.90)
Nothing too special that you can't make yourself at home:)
Sandwich (I can't remember the full name but I think it's also priced at RM9.90)
We ordered tea each to warm ourselves in the chilly weather and 2 of my friends ordered the strawberry/banana milkshake. Not a good choice, since it was too sweet to put you at risk of diabetes!
Despite our full capacity with the lunch; our organizer decided to order a slice of the Apple Pie (RM2.50) for us to try since it was their highlight in this cafe; besides their strawberry shortcakes, etc.
Oh, this was good!
If everything was bad during lunch; this would definitely save the entire meal from total criticsm.
It was served hot, and the thin slice of the pie was just the great complement to the sweet chunks of apples with syrup in between; before you sink your teeth into the hard crust at the bottom.
It was really one of the best apple pie I have tasted and we were glad we didn't disobey the organizer's wish to order this for dessert; and we had fun poking all our forks into this.
Top cafe is truly a gem found in Cameron Highlands; and it is a really great place for afternoon tea or just purely for a time of silent meditation.
Good recommendation. I think CH pastries are good. I save my stomach space for these.
ReplyDeletedessert looks divine! who can say no to good apple pie .. sigh
ReplyDeleteworldwindows, yeah, maybe due to their fresh ingredients?:)
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you find it there!
cumi&ciki, exactly!! Hot apple pie in a chilly weather, oooo...indescribable!:)
ReplyDeleteWah! I've been to Cameron highland numerous times but never know this restaurant exist.
ReplyDeleteI usually had BKT up there only =.=||
The pie is the only decent looking thing here! I did like the ambiance of the place though... just the food kinda tasted horribly ordinary!
ReplyDeleteI knew this shop but did not drop by during my last visit. The pie seems delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis place looks like the T-cafe neighboring the Marrybrown if we are not mistaken !
ReplyDeletePopular with budget European diners and you would expect the food to be mostly bland ( coz they have been beered by the Tigers and Carlsbergs so no problems !)
Quite a famous place for the blogging fraternity where one of us lost his super sun glass
LOL !
email2me, then this will be a new place to try ya? :)
ReplyDelete550ml, oh ya...haha, ambience is good, and the pie and the other cakes are also their best selling items I believe;)
ReplyDeleteFood paradise, drop by on your next visit then, Cameron is never running away!~
ReplyDeleteBSG, oh I am so sorry to hear this, I shall keep a lookout for any suspicious Cameronians with a super sun glass!! :)
