Cameron Highlands is situated at northwestern tip of Pahang state in Malaysia. If Malaysian want to experience Spring weather without going anywhere, they can stay at Cameron Highlands, and a lot of hotel can be choose from, example Equatorial Hotel and others I can't remember, but there are a lot. The mean annual temperature of the resort is about 18 °C (64 °F). During the day, the temperature seldom rises above 25 °C (77 °F); at night, it can rarely drop to as low as 9 °C (48 °F) at the higher areas.
My last visit to Cameron Highlands, we stayed at Century Pines. Lovely hotel, if you would like to know more about this hotel, please visit my review on this hotel at TripAdvisor : Click Here
Take note, just to share some tips, if you plan to visit Cameron Highlands try to avoid school holidays, because the accommodation price will go up as well as will have a lot of people everywhere..its kinda crowded. My last visit was on non-School Holiday 3D2N from Friday to Sunday, because we don't want to miss the 'Night Market' must go if you plan to visit Cameron Highland. However, the night market only can be found on Friday and Saturday night at Brinchang town. More info on the night market -> Click Here
Let's talk what type of food you can find at Cameron Highlands, well since the temperature there quite low at night, so famous for dinner is always SteamBoat. We found this Halal Steamboat place near Hotel De La Ferns. Very easy to find it, it was between Tanah Rata and Brinchang. You find the "Hotel De La Ferns" you will find the steamboat place just beside the hotel and you wont missed it because it was just by the road side. We had steamboat here, quite ok, with the cold weather and having steamboat, nothing will go wrong :)
You can choose weather to have the soup base "Chicken" or "Tomyam"
Tomyam is the Thailand style hot soup. We had it both chicken and tomyam.
Overall the taste was not so bad, but i guess because we had it at night, the weather is cold so the steamboat taste, the hot soup quite accommodating to get some heat for your body :)
On the other hand, my wife love scones very much (so it seem), so we had ventured few places to try the local scone at Cameron Highland. We've been to few places, "Vintage Cafe" at Tanah Rata, Cafe at SmokeHouse Cameron Highland and "T-Cafe" at Tanah Rata. My wife verdict was the one at Vintage Cafe and T-Cafe was the best for her. And yes, I do admit, it was nice :)

While you at Cameron, don't forget to pay a visit to BOH Plantation Center at Sungei Palas. Where this is the farm or i think more to plantation of the BOH Tea and where the produce the tea for BOH. They have nice cafe overlook the plantation and some other shop where you can buy souvenir or difference type of fresh tea leaves (processed or not processed).

Must go, this place ! Nice view ehh ?
We had stop here and drink some hot tea, mushroom soup and sandwich.
Strawberry ? Yes, Cameron Highland have a lot of Strawberry farm you can visit and eat their Strawberry, fresh from the farm. Locals recommended to us to go visit the farm near Equatorial Hotel. You can eat fresh strawberry there or you can plug the strawberry by yourself. Good place to bring your family and kids in the farm and plugging our own strawberry. You can select from the farm.
