I ~~struggled~~ walked relaxingly up the hill and steps through bush walk for 200m. Apart from the magnificent and spectacular view, there’s this half overhung platform cafe sitting proudly on top hill. Barely any bricks…don’t get it wrong..I meant its built with metal frames with much huge windows (they are strong..no worries). Guess..the tourists never fail to pay a visit here.

The weather was fine..though it drizzles a little.

Look at it? Its an eye-catcher right? This is the platform cafe that I’m referring.

No outside food – Checked! No smoking – Checked! No Pets – Checked!

The interior. This was the crowd on a regular off peak weekend. So, you may expect the number of visitors during peak season right? The overhung area is on far end, which is the most ‘laku’ place. Seats are usually occupied. Unless you got the patience to wait lo…

Self service here. Queue to place your order. Besides the popular Boh Tea, there are also Cakes, Tarts & Pie for sale.

Cameronian Gold Blend – RM3.30 (recommended)

Tea from teabag..yet taste nice when you are sipping it in a different environment. Imagine if the same drink but you are having it in a lousy room..I doubt it would taste that good ler…Besides that, the tea are available for sale. Grab your purchases, varieties of tea packed in box. Bear in mind..the price is not much difference compared to supermarkets.

Scone – RM8 (recommended)

Scones are served with Strawberry Jam & Fresh Cream. The scone was quite good. Freshly bake and its not too dry.

Strawberry Tart – RM3.50

Tart filled with Strawberry Jam… Bad Tart!! The sweetness kills my tooth. The pastry was flaky and not buttery. Both pastry & jam were too sweet for my liking…*sigh.

Strawberry Cake – RM6

Everything is about Strawberry in Cameron. Unfortunately this cake is below average. Texture of cake is quite dry. Guess…you be able to judge through the photo right?

Butter Lemon Cake – RM3.80

The not so lemony yet not so buttery cake was below average too.But still better than the Strawberry Cake above

What to you expect to view from this cafe? A beautiful panoramic view of Boh Tea plantation.

Oyaki is a Japanese-Style bun. (looks like a pan-fried bun)

It was popular during Taisho period (1912-1925). The Oyaki dough was traditionally made from using local flour and water while the filling of the Oyaki was vegetables seasoned with Miso / Soy Sauce. Oyaki can be found in most of the bazaar in Japan and outside Japan during the Japan’s Festival celebration.

The Loaf has modified the traditional Oyaki to The Modern Taisho Oyaki by using Butter Roll Dough stuffed with more than 10 varieties of sweets and savories ingredients each to bake in oven instead of using the frying pan.

Other than Oyaki, The Loaf also offer the Japanese moist and creamy Roll Cakes such as Caramel Maple Syrup, Mixed Fruits, Green Tea, Red Bean and etc.

Located at 6th Floor of Pavilion. (at Tokyo Street)

Just a small shop. Suitable for take-away.

Today, there were more choices. Unlike during my first visit on the first weekend after it was newly launched.

There are 12 flavors shown on the menu. But not all available that day. Currently they are having this promotion of Buy 6 pcs for the price of 5!! Promotion ends on 31st August 2011. Ohh ya..the price per piece is at RM2.90.

Therefore I dapao back home to enjoy it with my family. It was nicely packed!

Above are types of Oyaki I chose and a cut section of each. The bun are quite soft. But I reheat them before consuming. I prefer it to be warm…as it will be nicer that way.

Sausage Cheese – Melted cheese on top with sausage filling. (good)

Chicken Mushroom – This is a deep fried type I suppose. Seeing the outer part coated with breadcrumbs (if I’m not mistaken). Filled with bite size mushrooms and cream. (good)

Bolognaise – Taste like the bolognaise spaghetti (good)

German Potato – Mashed potato filling with taste of peppercorns (not nice)

Chocolate Banana – Filled with taste of chocolate & banana. (good)

Kaya – Filled with kaya (coconut jam) (normal)

Last but not least. Before leaving, I got myself this lil rabbit from Zakka, Tokyo Street. Her name is FiFi…she’s quite shy…She sleeps with me every night. Hb is getting jealous. He claimed that my bed is filled with soft toys. Soon, its going to be fully occupied by them. Wanyi, if you are reading here, this is your favorite bitbit!
