Overall, the ingredients were very fresh and did not taste like it was laden with MSG. The price of the add-ons is slightly more expensive compared to the other restaurants offering steamboat in Cameron but I feel the quality does justify the price tag.
Squeezed between an arts and crafts studio and a plant shop is Amazon Le Petit Cafe. Befitting its name, its simple white interior is decorated with hanging plants, pressed flower and fern art and woodsy furnishings to create a tranquil setting that’s instantly beckons you inside. You can order your drinks to go from a window but we found the lure too great.
Coral Hill in Cameron Highlands is one such hike. At 1573 metres, reaching its peak sounds daunting, but with a starting altitude of 1556 metres, an elevation gain well under 50 metres and a trail less than 1 kilometre, Coral Hill is equitable, achievable and easily squeezed into a single morning.
Opened in 2022, Siar sits on the top floor of an unassuming block of new shophouses in Kea farm. Unlike Wogoxette Upstairs which is situated on the upper floor of a bungalow home and rented out in its entirety, or Heahitude which has rooms that include a bunk bed configuration, Siar is a chic 10-room sanctuary of 8 double and 2 twin rooms to appeal to couples and friends.
In short, the place is bonkers, but provided enough fun (and a slide) that we ended up there for longer than an hour in the end, which I certainly didn’t expect when I saw the sign from the road. Enjoyable, if you like a little kitsch.
It doesn’t take long to walk around the enclosure, get through all the sheep food, and stroke a few lambs, but it’s pleasant and our daughter enjoyed it, even if some of the sheep were a bit big for her!
I don’t think the refreshments or the exhibition are worth the drive and the climb, but the views are pretty nice. You’ll have to weigh up if they’re nicer enough than other views in the region to make the journey worthwhile. I probably won’t go back, but could possibly be persuaded.
But the overwhelming impressions are of nature on one hand and commercialism on the other. As we strolled out through the gift shop and many souvenir/toy stalls, we thought we’d be happy to visit again, but it might not be for quite a while. The cost is RM15 for adults, RM10 for kids over 5.
Overall, this easily beat the other two steamboat restaurants we have tried in Brinchang in the past, and we’d thoroughly recommend Tuan Yuan. I expect we’ll be back.
Berbalik pada BOH Tea Centre Sungei Palas tu, lokasi dia tak berapa jauh pun sebenarnya dari jalan besar. Cuma jalan dia memang sangat jalan pergunungan.
