Cuisine Cameron Style

Continuing our Cameronian Adventure, we checked out many eating places at Tanah Rata and Berinchang. Most restaurants were either steamboats or Chinese restaurants with dishes. At Tanah Rata for some reason, there were about 5-6 Indian restaurants at the main stretch of about 2 blocks or 200 meters. The steamboat restaurant we chose at Berinchang was reasonable but not very good. At Triangkap, there were lots of Chinese restaurants which did not tickle our fancy. However from the internet, my ever resourceful cousin-in-law Caryn was able to find a very quaint and humble restaurant that served the only strawberry scones in Cameron Highlands called TCafe.

It is located at the floor above the Marrybrown chain. With a humble stairs that leads to a small narrow stairs, we found good food and a very relaxing atmosphere that catered to backpackers. There was a book shelf that you can exchange books, chess set, some other board games and just folks (mostly foreign) just chillin'.

We ordered some dishes but the best were Lamb Chop, Chow Kuay Teow, Cantonese Fried Rice and some other noodles. Of course there were scones and the strawberry ones were not bad, not great but ok la for non-scone eating culture. The chicken pie was a bit dry and the curry chicken could be missed. It was the 2nd best meal after Sg Palas. Just comfortable and us just chatting while the kids played chess and just entertained themselves. So ambience and company very important to my dietary needs!

Just in case you didn't see the sign.

More narrow stairs! What's with the fascination with the stairs??

Tender and delectable lamb chop.

Equally enjoyable Char Kuey Teow. Should also try Hokkien Mee (not in picture)

and curry chicken.

Chicken Pie was good though a bit dry.
