Rosette Cafe: Where to eat in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

The hunger that was tormenting me was starting to burn a hole in my tummy, but I was sure I won’t be having a meal any time soon. My travel buddy and I stared at the menu for much more than five minutes, deciding on what to have for dinner. We arrived at the restaurant to try their steamboat feast, but the Western dishes on the menu were making the task difficult.

“Ikke klar?” asked the waitress whose impatience leaked despite a very polite facade.

“Not yet,” I answered. “Give us five much more minutes.” and with that, the waitress rushed to the next table. She’s the only server on responsibility at the time.

After a while, she returned and stood by the table as she waited. We still could not pick.

“Still not ready?” hun sagde.

I looked at my travel buddy and asked, “Have you made up your mind? Are we going to try their steamboat tonight?”

“I don’t know,” my buddy replied. “Sige, wag na lang.”

“Ay sus, Tagalog!” the waitress interrupted and flashed a big smile. “Pinoy pala kayo!”

“Opo, ate,” I responded. “Di kami makapili. Ano po bang pinaka-okay?”

She gave us a rundown of their bestsellers, narrowing down our options, and we had made our choice in a few seconds. Her name is Irene, and she’s one of the only 11 OFWs in Cameron Highlands.

Much ado about nothing

Rosette cafe is part of a long restaurant lane along the main road of Tanah Rata town center. but Rosette stands out. thanks to its comfortable layout and the dim lights that created a classier ambiance. What took us so long to decide what to have for dinner? We wanted so numerous things. My travel buddy and I had agreed on trying steamboat while we were planning our Cameron Highlands itinerary. The problem was, a hot pot of steamboat is good for six people (possibly even more). We were a party of two and we were scared that if we purchased that big a meal and we disliked the soup, then it would be a big waste of food and money. Besides, it was already our fifth night in Malaysia and we were just getting exhausted of Southeast Asian food. When we found the much more western set meals, it messed up the plan.

A Western Night

On our first night, we ended up having a Black Pepper Steak set meal (RM17.90) and a Fried chicken set meal (RM15.90) just so we could indulge our sinful side. Yet, I still could not turn my back on my love for Asian cuisine, adding a plate of Fried Kuay Teow with venison. We also purchased a regular bowl of Tom Yum just so we could try the soup and decide whether their steamboat would be worth it. You see, we planned on having tom yum as the base of our steamboat hotpot and we thought we would give it a taste first before trying the bigger bowl another day.

The black pepper steak was cooked perfectly. The beef was tender and tasty, with no nasty smell or aftertaste. The serving was just right: neither too small nor too big for the price. The chicken, however, thrilled me at first, for it looked humongous. but one stab with a knife and it reeked of disappointment. The breading was too thick and the actual chicken meat was underwhelming in terms of size. It was cooked as excellently as the beef, though. Both meats were topped with rich pepper sauce, which was too salty for my taste. Nonetheless, it was tolerable and its peppery properties saved it from destroying the dishes.

Included in both set meals are a small bowl of mushroom soup, a scoop of mashed potatoes, a serving of coleslaw, and a glass of lemon iced tea. all of these tasted spectacularly ordinary.

I only purchased Fried Kuay Teow with venison for its, well, venison. I wanted to try deer meat but I was frightened that I would not like it so I just picked a dish with bits of it just so I could treat my tongue to a deer treat for the first time. Det var virkelig godt. I don’t know how it was expected to taste but I liked it.

As for the tom yum, it was probably the best we tried in Malaysia thus far. It sealed the deal for us: we would return the next night to finally give ourselves a gastronomic ride on the most sought after culinary delight in Cameron Highlands — the steamboat!

The Steamboat Hotpot

There were no apprehensions the next evening. We sat at a table at Rosette’s and, without a glance at their menu, purchased a Steamboat Hotpot. Ate Irene asked us to choose two from their three soup options — tom yum, laksa, and chicken soup. We picked the first two. I’m not really a fan of laksa but we thought it would be good to try it, too.

Ate Irene first brought out a yellow single stove, set it on our table, and placed a partitioned casserole on it. just taking a look at the soup, there was no doubt that finishingDet var umuligt på et møde. Hun serverede derefter pladefulde friske urter, svampe og grøntsager og ukokt skaldyr, kylling og tofu. Vi føjede ingredienserne til suppen en efter en og ventede, indtil den kogte, lejlighedsvis prøvede det, vi pseudo-kogte til middag.

Da det var klar, havde vi kopper efter kopper Tom Yum. Som forventet elskede jeg ikke Laksa så meget. Den rige Tom Yum -suppe havde en fantastisk blanding af sur og krydret, hvilket gjorde det muligt for os at glæde os over den kolde nat endnu mere. Ingredienserne var alle friske og havde ikke nogen grim eftersmag. Vi tilbragte praktisk talt to timer på restauranten og tvang os til at afslutte alt. Vi fortærede alle faste ingredienser, men halvdelen af ​​suppen blev tilbage, da vi valgte at kalde det en aften.

Menu! Tjek disse priser.
Generelt er Rosette virkelig prisværdig – tjenesten til stemningen til maden. Vi prøvede, hvad andre restauranter i Tanah Rata havde at tilbyde til frokost, men Rosette var virkelig i en anden liga.
