Thrift Traveller tips: Halal food in Melbourne

I was in Melbourne in end Jan /  early Feb this year.
Amazing to see so many more halal food outlets there now.  It is so easy to get halal food now.

One of the food I always enjoy when in Melbourne is the roast chicken with stuffing and chips.
 1/4 chicken with loads of chips cost only AUD6.50

Check out my article on the roast chicken shop in Brunswick, Melbourne.

T Cafe Cameron Highlands

During our last visit to Cameron Highlands, we finally got the chance to try the famous T-Cafe, located above Mary Brown restaurant in Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands.

Its a quaint little cafe, owned apparently by the auntie of this guy I met few months ago. She had about 3 staff helping her. Service was quick and efficient..

The serving size though could be better improved for the price paid.. My partner had to order additional food coz he wasnt full with his spaghetti..

I tried the famous scones and jam and butter..
The verdict..I think the scone still cant beat the scone sold at Cafe in Kinokuniya KLCC.

Then I had a chicken lasagna..which unfortunately has more vege than the chicken and taste not that great..

My partner had spaghetti..which wasnt enough for him..

so then he ordered fried rice..which turned out to be the best meal we had at T-Cafe Cameron Highlands..

But anyway..it was worth trying..since me and my cousins had always wanted to go there but its usually closed on Sundays..

Breakfast at Jasmine Restaurant, Brinchang, Cameron Highlands

We had our breakfast at Jasmine Restaurant in brinchang, cameron highlands..

In the cold morning weather of Cameron Highlands, hot milo tasted so good...haha....

my partner had roti canai..which was all right..but i've tasted better in KL.

The crispy paper tosai, served with dall and curry was just so yummy.

Where to eat in Brinchang, Cameron Highlands?

Cheap food at KLCC

If you happen to be visiting KLCC, to have a look at the Petronas Twin Towers...do take the time to try out the various food outlets in the shopping mall Suria KLCC .

The prices can be rather expensive though, but it just depends on your budget..


If you are on really tight budget, one of the cheapest places to eat is at the Cold Storage takeway food area.

You can get a pack of fried rice or fried noodles for only RM 2.20 (USD0.60) . The fried rice is slightly spicy, but rather tasty actually even for a quick lunch if you happen to be on job assignments in KLCC.
