Cameron Highlands, The weekend gateaway
12:19:00 PM
Juan and his friends has planned this trip many months ago. Previously it was postponed numerous times as most of us could not make it.
Me and Juan were the last one to arrived in Cameron as I couldn't take half day. We arrived at the apartment roughly around 9pm. We weren't alone throughout the journey. There were a few cars ahead of us so I felt a bit safe knowing that there are someone else on the road with us.
I felt so stress free on Monday as the weekend was occupied with activities that could take my head off from work even though it was just a little while.
Juan's friend brought to this little cafe, The Lord's Cafe. A small little cafe situated on the 2nd floor of a row of shop houses in Tanah Rata town. The first thing I noticed about this cafe was that all the furniture and and wall deco are old. Looking at them, I presumed they were from the 70s or perhaps late 80s.
The prices were reasonable looking at the generous portions they served. Their famous specialty would definitely be their scones. The scones were light but not crunchy enough on the outside. The butter and jam were good and not so sweet. The choices of drinks are limited but in a cafe like this, it's good thing that you limit your food choices. The cafe is also photography friendly. For those who loves vintage layout, this could be the place for you.
In Cameron, I had the opportunity to visit BOH Tea Plantation. First thing, narrow!. The road to the plantation can fit one car at a time. So I suggest that either you car pool or rent a van in a group. Weekend is definitely a pack time although it was not school holiday. Reason maybe because Cameron Highlands is situated in between the North and Southern side of Malaysia.
Food was not up to my expectations. There are many choices of tea. For a pot of Sri Songket tea, it cost you only around RM6.90 and can be shared by 2 person. There weren't any scones only desserts and curry puff. The view was nice and cosy. There are also souvenir shop so you can purchase your bags of tea but they cost slightly expensive compared to supermarket. You can also visit their factory. A tour guide will be assigned to your group.
