This is a 3.5 star place. Some of the items like the nasi lemak and curry mee were average, while some others (like the nasi goreng kampung) were quite nice. Wanted to try the prawn mee but it wasn't ready yet (we were there for breakfast about 9:30am).

All the food are prepared by Uncle & Auntie Chow. I'm from Penang with a choosy taste bud yet I couldn't take spicy food. But their asam laksa made me sky-rocket! WOW it's fantastic, the sour-spicy thick soup with fish flesh inside (ordinary they use less fish n the soup is clear). My husband had fried rice and rendang chicken,... More

I only wish I had gotten the curry noodles that my husband had, though my congee was also delicious. But we are still talking about the noodles days later.

Hidden in the backrow of some shop houses, we discovered that this place served good choices of breakfast. Food in Cameron usually are overpriced and exceptionally so during super peak seasons. Uncle Chow's kopitiam served decent food and prices are reasonable. The place is quite jam-packed during peak seasons. Will not hesitate to drop by again. To others who have... More

Although we originally thought we would never find this place, we were both glad we did. If you walk past Maybank on your right and Twin Pines on your left and keep going straight till you see flats with parades of shops (including a "magic potion" beauty store) take a left after these and you'll see some kopitiams (coffee shops),...

This is my must visit cafe whenever my hubby and I are in Cameron Highlands. We are such regulars that Uncle Chow can recognise us. Uncle Chow is a friendly and hospitable host and he will ensure that his customers enjoy the food. With such good service and nice food, it is understandable that we always return and will introduce... More

We drove to uncle Chow's for breakfast after reading all the good reviews on trip advisor. However it left us utterly disappointed as the food was just horrible. The nasi lemak rice was cooked without coconut milk - do u still call that nasi lemak?? The ikan billis n peanuts was not fresh, they were stale. The toast with home... More
