the foodie takes cameron highlands: part 3. Boh tea centre@sungai palas

last part of my greediness in cameron highlands. heheh
this is also in a tea plantation in sungai palas. according to my dad we came here before years ago but i only have a very hazy memory....
anyway, this place has been given a total make-over and it is very impressive now!
but to get there..its a long drive on a very winding, narrow road. practically have to squeeze through, especially if there is an oncoming car. eek.



the main attraction (to me, at least) is the refreshment centre! its a huge cafe with tall windows with beautiful scenery. very very nice ambiance :)

the view of the tea centre from below...

their specialty: TEA! (what else?) in pretty packaging

and since we just could not resist it, we grabbed a table and ordered a couple of stuff, just to try :D
this is the strawberry cake. nothing too impressive. the pink colouring looks kinda scary actually. its sponge cake layered with strawberry cream. hmm..

golden brown scones. light fluffy and yummy. served with strawberry jam and butter. yummy. quite similar to the one in bharat tea house.

quite a selection of food they have. from pies to mushroom soup...
sandwiches and other buns..
we ordered a few drinks..hot chocolate, which was slightly better than the one a bharat tea house, the cameron tea and some fancy flower tea which i can't recall the name...

it was this cake actually that caught my eye and made me go.."i MUST have this"
moist chocolate cake topped with yummy chocolate icing. nice moist texture, not too sweet but could have been more chocolaty. but it was quite good.
not forgetting the carrot cake with cream cheese topping, this was rather good. with a nice but not too strong cinnamon taste. not too sweet, and the topping was good also, not too rich and thick.
so...this is the end of my eating escapade in cameron highlands!
