Owing to its large population and rapid urbanisation, Cameron Highlands is fast becoming a culinary hub for hawker stall cuisine and specialty food items that incorporate temperate crops such as strawberries and salad-based vegetables. The ready supply of greens from surrounding farms provides a fresh complement or ingredient to any meal eaten here.
The largest number of restaurants are found at Tanah Rata and Brinchang townships, though you can get good food almost anywhere. For the best bargains, hunt for eating holes that Cameron natives haunt - usually, restaurants nestled among quieter shoplots at the back of town - away or obscured from the main road.
