Cameron Highlands, April '10: Devilishly Delish Devonshire Cream Tea

If there's one place my parents and I never ever EVER miss going to (what a sinful thought!) whenever we're up the hill, it's Ye Ole Smokehouse. Not cos of its garden – which is very pretty, by the way – or its English-styled accommodation – which is unbelievably expensive, too – but for its unbeatable Devonshire Cream Tea Set.

No need to see the inside of the menu lah, ok? So expensive, you see also won't go although I recommend. -_-' Now, you can just bluff yourself into thinking it's affordable and worth the price you think you should be paying cos of the no-frills-no-trills pictures you'll see below. -_-'''

Two sets of scones, some jam and some to-die-for Devonshire cream.
Oh, and half the bottom of the teapot our Cameronian tea came in.

Don't be deceived by its humble appearance, dear friends. Take my word for it, it was Heaven on Earth. Yums! Too bad this next dish spoilt it all.

Bangers and mash.

Wrong order on our part lah, seriously. The brown sauce wasn't spectacular, the mash was lumpy, the sausages were tendon-y and the onions were smelly. (That last one probably only applies to me.) Sigh. And since we were already on a roll, we also made the second mistake of leaving that for last cos we thought that finishing off with something savoury after all that yummy sweetness would be good.

-_-'

Wrong move lah.

So, if you ever decide to pay Ye Ole Smokehouse of Cameron Highlands a visit, remember this word of advice from Pam Song of Tinki Talks:

Stick to the Devonshire Cream Tea Set
...and leave Bangers and Mash alone.

But the place very nice to camwhore
so go ahead and do lots of that. =p


Mee and I.

Dee was behind the camera so, no pictures of him with us. And urm... the only other pic of him worth posting, he saw and banned me from putting it up. So, too bad lah. Plus, it was drizzling most of the time so we didn't bother taking any outdoor shots like we usually do. At all the same spots. Every year. Cos we're creative that way. -_-'''

Oh, and this is me asking Mee for the camera back
and her snapping with me caught unawares.

Show you pictures of very little, very cute
but also very disgusting birdies next.
