Heart warming pancakes
Edit ThisBe sure to visit the pancake stall at the hawker centre in Tanah Rata.
It is run by a very friendly mute couple. They make you feel so welcome
and pampered, and the pancakes are fantastic! That's one of my fondest
memories of Cameron Highlands.
A definite must for travellers who like the social aspect of travelling other than just photo taking and sight seeing!
They may not open in afternoons. It's a breakfast place.

Brinchang Saturday Night Market
Edit ThisLotsa yummy local food at the Brinchang market every Saturday evening.
What I love doing is to grab a burger from the street hawker (this is a
Malaysian street-style burger, with pattie, ketchup, chilli, and egg),
and then I'll just stroll around the market and pick up a few random
strange looking local snacks as 'sides'.
Eat at a corner, or while walking, or bring it back to your hotel. The stalls do not provide seating area.

Roti Prata in Brinchang
Edit ThisHave a roti prata in Brinchang!
It's a sort of crispy pancake made by flipping and whipping it on the
hotplate. It's usually made by traditional sarong-wearing indian men.
It's quite a show to watch too. And very delicious though not very
healthy since they traditionally use lard and flour to make them.
There were 2 prata restuarants at Brinchang the last time I went. I
can't remember their names. One of them serves a western version of the
prata in banana, strawberries etc flavours, sort of like western pancakes.
It's a nice idea, but personally I still prefer more..
