Family Trip to Cameron/Malacca ~ Part IV

Food in Cameron Highlands
We had breakfasts at Jim Thompsom Cafe back in Strawberry Park each morning. They served decent breakfast buffet complete with variety of breads, cheeses and sides to complete the continental brekkie. There's even a prata counter which I did not try... age has caught up and I no longer goes for heavy stuff to break the day.

Steamboat goes well with the weather here and you can find quite a few restaurants serving it. We wouldn't give it a miss of course especially it's at 17bucks per pax. Don't expect plentiful of meats but huge servings of their fresh vegetables instead.
We really had to mention Bala's Chalet here!! We went over after the KHM episode for some tea and scones. The English styled garden is so beautiful and filled with serenity that makes one just want to sip the tea in a dainty way and do nothing. (Not even 2 monsterous kids jumping around can kill the mood) The scones were served with strawberry jams from KHM and fresh creams. It was truly a nice experience that both Mark and I felt that we would like to be back again when our kids are .. erm... less monsterous?
We had another round of scones and tea in Cameron Valley Plantation on our way downhill. I had shortbreads instead this time round and bought a box of strawberry tea. Somehow ceylon from Sri Lanka is still preferred to Boh and those available here. But the magnificent view and cold breeze does wonders to the food.
