It has been awhile since we last visited Fraser's Hills for a few reasons: we went a lot to Cameron Highlands - always a disappointment and yet we returned (maybe because it is "larger"), the road to Jeriau is still closed (so no possibility of birding nor taking pictures of butterflies), there's some construction going on and it's a mess in Fraser's (still on) and commercial stuff is polluting the last quiet hill station!
Well, went we did last Sunday, just for lunch. I was actually going to take some photographs of butterflies midway in Bukit Telaga but we decided that maybe if we hurry, we might just make it - and we did. As we entered through the reception, we were greeted and I asked for a table which we were promptly serviced. However, we were put in the salon cum tea/bar room where we ordered our meal and we served our drinks while lunch is being prepared (and the table too). Liked the quiet ambiance...
Everything in the Smoke House is decorated to the tune of Ye Olde England Cottage...
It started to pour when we arrived so everything was wet outside. Asked the waiter if it has been raining the whole week and it turned out that today's rain is an isolated case...
In the dining...(the fireplace is "mock")
The mushroom soup - strong and solid base but I can whiff the use of shiitake mushroom - giving it an almost "pungent" odour. Ideally, it would have been better if they just use only "forestiers", meaning wild mushrooms.
Liked the private dining space on the side...could be good for a private function a l'anglaise...
I ordered roasted rack of lamb...not bad.
