Scones in Cameron Highlands

What’s more mouthwatering to the palate then warm scones with jam and clotted cream with a cuppa tea on a chilly day? Interestingly, Cameron Highlands is noted for this English charm. Chances of indulging in scones are quite high but finding the best may be quite a hunt. Here are our recommendations after stumbling into these places and tasting a couple of more buttery scones:

T-Cafe

Serves delectable scones and fine tea. By far, one of the most famous drop-in cafe/restaurant in Cameron Highlands. Prices are very reasonable (between RM2-3 per scone) and it’s a good place to stop by to have a meal too! Menu ranges from local to western dishes. Try their claypot curry chicken with rice/noodles. It’s lovely, especially in the cold weather.

This is a backpacker lodge along Jalan Mentigi, Tanah Rata. A wonderful backpacker’s place with great reviews. We will definitely stay here on our next visit. Rooms are clean and affordable. By accident, we tried the scones here and they were awesome! Dare I say, a tinge better than the ones in T-cafe.

Personally, we have not tried their scones here, but heard great reviews. The price is not exactly cheap in fact quite steep. For a set of scones & a pot of tea, you’d end up paying RM18.50.

Boh Plantantion
Also, we’ve not tried the scones here, but most tourists to the infamous Boh Plantation normally ends up in their cafe overlooking the tea plantation. They serve scones, tea and strawberry pies.

I’m sure there are many other cafes serving scones in Cameron Highlands. Do you know others? Care to share? We’d love to explore them sometime.
