They found the Deaf business - Yong Teng Cafe, Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands. It is located in one the food stalls; and is run by Teng See Poh and his wife, Yong Oi Kim who were both Deaf. They also known as the pancake cafe because the tourists really love their unique pancakes with the fruit toppings, such as strawberry and banana! For an additional 50 sen, you can have a scoop of ice-cream as well. They also serves nasi lemak, burgers, hot dogs, toast and half-boiled eggs.
How the hearing custromers to order the food & drink?
They prepared the pen and paper for the custromers to order or showed the menu in photos so easily. Don't worry, the menu photos in the English and Chinese language, just point on the menu as what you like. They are very friendly to their custromers always!
For Deaf custromers, no problem because they know the sign language, and can communicate with them. Next time, you visit the Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, you try to eat the pancakes from Yong Teng Cafe ya!
