Bak Kut Teh Cottage Delight 浓乡美食轩@ Cameron Highlands, Pahang

We have been a frequent visitors to Cameron highland lately. As I need to bring my visitors around. I have been stopping by this cafe for few times over the year for breakfast and lately stopped by for early lunch.

 Menu
This is part of the menu. 

Drinks

 Ice Lemon Tea 

FOODS

American Breakfast

This is usually my girl choice of breakfast, Not sure why she always order this when she visited this cafe. 

 Ho Hee - RM5.00
We are not sure what is Ho Hee. So we just order one bowl to try. It is basically like koay tiaw thn'g and top with some fish ball, fish wantan and fuchok.

Wanton Mee - RM5.00

They have choice of wantan mee. Either with char siew or wantan. We tried the char siew version. It's a different type of wantan mee compares to the one in Penang style. But quite a good try though.

Hakka Mee - RM5.00

I like their hakka noodles. The noodles got springy textures and it came with a bowl of small yong tao foo. Their yong tao foo is also very nice. 

Curry Noodles - RM5.50

I like the yong tao foo that immerse in the curry. It tastes more flavourable for me. But the last visit the curry noodles sold out. If you like curry perhaps you can give this a try.

Assorted mixed fish balls, fuchok and meat balls

During one visit we ordered assorted yong tao foo to share among each others.

S' Corner Central Market @ Brinchang

S' Corner Central Market is a place that you can shop for fresh vegetables, mushroom and fruits. 

FRESH ASSORTED MUSHROOM

The most interesting places that I would recommend my reader is to visit the mushroom section. Here, I saw different species of mushroom. Some I never see it before. And you can also buy the fresh mushrooms. They are packed in plastic bags. 

I bought some of the mushrooms back and tried. Well, for a mushroom lover like me, I can enjoyed all of the mushroom bought but if you cannot stand the strong mushroom aroma, perhaps you only buy the usual mushroom will do.

Aren't they beautiful?

FRESH STRAWBERRIES

STRAWBERRY YOUGHURT WALNUT MUFFIN

My gal loves strawberries and cherry tomatoes very much. So we brought few packages of strawberries. And some we eaten in Cameron Highlands after washing it. Then few we brought it back. After I came back from Cameron Highlands, I freeze the strawberries.

After few days passed, I almost forgot about the frozen strawberries. I wonder what should I do as not much left in the freezer. Then I google for strawberry muffin recipe.
