Food at Cameron Highlands

At first I thought that the last thing I'll look for at a tourist attraction like Cameron Highlands is good food. But surprisingly, Cameron Highlands has some good food for food lovers like me.


An advice, you don't go to those overpriced places such as the Boh Tea cafe at the Simpang Pulai tea farm to eat, they sell the view of the place, not the food. The food is not so delicious there.

Looks can be deceiving

Prices can be heart-breaking

Normally good food comes from the least unexpected places.

Like here

First up, the strawberry ice cream in one of the stalls in Pasar Malam during weekends.

Damn huge strawberry

The legendary strawberry ice cream

But be careful though, some people used a lot of sugar and fake strawberry paste to produce the ice cream instead of real strawberries.

Besides the strawberry ice cream, you can also go for other junk food such as fried mushrooms, fried flowers (I have no idea what kind of flower is but I know it's delicious), fried beans, and the famous sweet potato balls.


And if you are looking for a proper meal in Cameron Highlands, a shop located in Brinchang is a must. The shop is actually at the back part of the town so you need to look for it.


It sells traditional chinese food like "Char Siew", noodles, and other chinese dishes. I like their Char Siew noodle the most.

The price is a bit expensive and the noodle is a bit oily, but everytime I go Cameron Highland I cannot resist the temptation of their Char Siew, it is just too good. Some say the chef worked in a restaurant in Hong Kong before he came to Cameron Highlands to open his own shop. Whatever, I only care about the Char Siew.

A lot of people are crazy about the steamboat in Cameron Highlands, they said it's the best in the whole Malaysia or something like that. But for me, steamboat is the most unreasonable meal in the whole world, because you pay so much and yet you have to cook your own food, stupid right?


All the steamboats taste almost the same, they just pour in some hot water or chicken soup in the pot and you cook your own food in front of a hot and steamy gas stove.

Please pay RM100 million and please cook on your own

Although it's a stupid way to spend on a meal, the steamboat shops in Cameron Highlands are always full of people during weekends or holidays. Maybe they think that they can cook better in Cameron Highlands.

During my hunt for food in Cameron Highlands, I saw some breads and papayas in one of the souvenir shops, then I wondered why the hell are they selling breads and papayas in souvenir shop. As a very "ke po" person I went to have a look.

Cheated.

They were fakes. CCB, I nearly took a bite.
