Food: I was there with my family of 5. We had the following: Strawberry scones Chicken mushroom pie Blueberry cheesecake Teh tarik (hot, less sugar) Teh tarik float (hot, less sugar)
The strawberry scones are less than ideal in my opinion. It is harder and doesn't really have the fragrance of butter compared to a normal scone. Besides, it's shape is a triangular one, seems like they make a large dough and cut it up like a pizza before putting it in an oven. The chicken mushroom pie is ok-ish. The crust and the filling tastes ok, probably too salty for those that are most used to a blander diet. My only complaint is that the fat used to make the pie crust is probably some sort of plant butter that leaves a coating in my mouth for a while. The blueberry cheesecake is nice, not too sweet, plenty cheesy, and the texture is sufficiently smooth. The teh tarik (with or without ice cream float) is ok, not the one with the best tea and evaporated milk, but acceptable. Though, be prepared that everything is more expensive than normal given that this is a tourist spot.
Service: Not sure what I can say here given that it is self service. I guess the only comment that I can give is that the worker there worked efficiently so the ordering process and food collection process was fast and easy. If you ordered something that takes a longer time to prepare, they will bring the food to you later when it's done.
Atmosphere: Only half of the shop is able to view the tea plantation, and it's usually crowded with people both with a table and those that just want to have a look at the nice view. So, don't expect the place to be romantic or quiet or have a personal space if your table is right next to the plantation view. Other than that, be prepared for the specialty of Cameron Highlands, flies, lots...
Read moreWe stopped by Cameron Valley Tea House 2 because it’s such a popular recommendation when visiting Cameron Highlands. Many people say it’s worth visiting to enjoy the tea plantation views and shop for tea-related souvenirs. It’s true—the scenery is beautiful and very photo-worthy. However, when it comes to the food, I’d recommend managing your expectations. We ordered Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken (RM20), Spaghetti Chicken Bolognese (RM18), a Sausage Puff (RM10), and a cup of Cameron Valley Tea without milk (RM4). The total came to RM52 including 6% SST. Unfortunately, the food was quite underwhelming. The fried chicken was very hard and not juicy at all, which was disappointing. The spaghetti portion was small, with very little meat, and overall didn’t feel satisfying. The sausage puff also felt overpriced for what we got. The food wasn’t terrible, but definitely not worth the high price—they seemed more like tourist prices. As for the overall environment, it was okay. The place was very crowded, which made it a bit chaotic. Parking is a challenge, with many visitors having to park along the roadside because the available parking lots are quite limited. It’s best to have one person find a table while another queues up to order. The place is more of a semi self-service setup—you order, pay, and then wait for staff to deliver the food to your table using a number system. We didn’t go down into the tea plantation area since it required a separate entrance fee and we were short on time. If you’re coming just to relax and take photos, this place is still worth a short stop. The tea and souvenir shops next to the café have a good variety of items, although nothing really caught my eye personally. Overall, it’s a decent experience for the view, but not somewhere I’d go specifically...
