Food Experience in Cameron Highlands

This is T-Cafe... prior to visiting, i've done a certain amount of research on where to eat while in Cameron Highlands. T-Cafe comes out top of the list by people in various forums. I decided to give it a try while i was there. Their most famous dish, the Strawberry Fruity Scone was pretty good. I love scones, i always have... i was so excited to see the scone that i forgot to take a picture for my blog... gahhh.... so here's just a photo of the restaurant, which has a colonial feel to it.

Cameron Highlands is renowned for its steamboats. After all, in the cool weather, having a bowl of hot steamboat soup is absolutely heaven.

Here are the meat and vegetable that went along with our steamboat... they had jellyfish and cuttlefish... pretty unconventional for a steamboat session, in my opinion.

Balls and tofus! haha... oh i've forgotten to mention that this restaurant is called 'Highland Restaurant', the leading steamboat restaurant in Cameron Highlands. While we were having dinner there, a huge crowd went in after us, and according to my mom, they were the contestants from Project Superstar Malaysia... i don't watch much Malaysian TV, so i'll have her word for it...haha...

Noodles ! Thank god Agent LL was not around, or he would've wiped out he whole plate in an instant.... sob...


Here's a pic of the steamboat. It is actually a Charcoal Steamboat, hence the towering furnace on top, which releases the smoke. There's no fire at the bottom of the pot, it relies on the heat from the burning charcoal in the furnace. It was surprising for me to see the soup boiling sideways, instead of bottom-up, as is the norm.
