The restaurant advocates healthy eating and has a menu full of interesting dishes that are light on oil and sugar.

4 seasons dessert and sweet potato fries.

The distance from KL to Tanahrima in Janda Baik is only some 30+ kilometres, but it may as well be a different country.

Fresh air, tall pine trees, and chirping insects make for an awesome and relaxing environment.

Tanarimah is ideal for events like weddings and team-building activities. Additionally, there’s a restaurant there called Purple Cane (yes, the same Purple Cane chain you can find in KL), a place perfect for a little afternoon tea.

The restaurant advocates healthy eating and has a menu full of interesting dishes that are usually light on oil, sugar, or spices that aren’t good for you.

Their “Spring” and “Autumn” desserts, are a sort of cross between jelly and Kwai Leng Gou that carry a hint of the aroma from the seasons they represent, and are not overly sweet either.

Tanarimah at Janda Baik, love the tranquillity by the lake.

The sweet potato fries are a lovely titbit you can munch on to cushion the stomach between lunch and dinner, and like other dishes here, it is light on salt and is fried with a supposedly healthier selection of vegetable oil.

It was a bit more like wedges than fries, but its natural sweetness and the contrasting texture on the light batter is fantastic.

Oh, and then there’s of course tea. Purple Cane is famous for their selection of Chinese teas and you can find them here as well.

If you’re up for a short excursion but want to avoid the crowds at Genting Highlands or Bukit Tinggi, this is a place to check out.
