Yong Teng Cafe @ Cameron Highlands

Another cafe which I would like to share on my trip to Cameron Highlands was this nice little cafe/stall located in Tanah Rata where we had our breakfast on the day of our departure.


Yong Teng Cafe is located in one the food stalls; and is run by an aged couple; who were both deaf and mute.
I really respect their strong determination and their enthusiasm as they seemed so friendly and chirpy to their customers.
According to my friend who brought us here, they serve really good pancakes here and the prices are really reasonable.
I guess they must be pretty popular here too:)


A glance at the menu did perk me up as I even see Oat Porridge listed here; oh my, that was so old-school to me!
It has been ages since I have heard or seen oat porridge served in any of the breakfast cafes/coffee shops.
Haha...the revolution of technology these days.

Hot barley to beat the chilly wind blowing at my face so early in the morning...brrrr


All of us proceeded to order pancakes; of course, since it's recommended here
Peach Pancake with Ice-cream (ice-cream is optional of course)

I think it only costs RM3.50-RM4 for a serving of pancake.

Banana Pancake with Ice-cream


Spot the difference between the banana and the peach pancake?

This is Cameron, it is a sin not to order anything without strawberry!
So a bunch of us went ahead and ordered the strawberry pancakes

To which I later regretted; as it was not up to my expectation:(
The strawberries were not really appetizing either and this comes from a huge strawberry fan.
The thing which really freaked me was how oily it was!

Bless me if I swallowed it down properly without feeling grossed out

Anyway, still, I would not criticize this stall because I like the old couple running it =)
They are really friendly, and well-known for their pancakes.

The pancakes are as you can see from the pictures; really thin and it is just like a flat piece of crepe.
The sides of the pancakes are slightly crispy and dry; and actually, I think their pancakes kinda resemble kuih apom telur too:)

Hope you find this place and if you don't you can ask, I think most people know them =)

Top Cafe @ Cameron Highlands

In February, I joined my university classmates on a road trip to Cameron Highlands.
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.
