The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur’s Traditional English Afternoon Tea
The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur offers Traditional English Afternoon Tea daily from 12:00 to 2:30 p.m. and 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. This elegant affair takes place in a serene and calm setting, providing the perfect backdrop for a leisurely afternoon. For the price of RM160++ for two people, guests can indulge in a three-tiered tray of goodies paired with scones and tea.
The freshly baked scones are accompanied by clotted cream and jam. The scones are warm, with just the right density, and the jam and cream are both made in-house. In addition to the scones, various warm savouries are also served. These include a tempting chicken pie, spinach quiche, and Scotch eggs. The pastries are warm, buttery and very comforting.
An assortment of finger sandwiches balances out the Traditional English Afternoon Tea set. The freshest bread embraces fillings such as coronation chicken, cucumber with cheese, and egg mayo with smoked salmon. The perfectly sized sandwiches allow guests to savour each bite without feeling overwhelmed.
No afternoon tea would be complete without a selection of handcrafted desserts. The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur ensures its desserts are visually appealing and bursting with flavour. We enjoyed mango cheesecake, raspberry choux, chocolate caramel, citrus orange biscuit, and hummingbird cake. Each dessert is crafted with care and skill, resulting in a delightfully sweet ending to the Traditional English Afternoon Tea experience.
A wide selection of loose-leaf Ronnefeldt tea is served to complement the food. The tea is presented in elegant teapots, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. A tea candle under the pot ensures a warm beverage throughout. Among the various tea options, the Ritz-Carlton’s signature blend stands out. Known as Chinese tie guan ying, this green oolong tea offers a delicate creamy flavour that successfully cleanses the palate between bites.
The Traditional English Afternoon Tea takes place in the Lobby Lounge, a beautifully designed space adorned with plush furnishings, grand chandeliers, and fresh orchid arrangements. The ambience is further enhanced by the soothing sounds of live harp music, creating an elegant and refined atmosphere.
