Give Mum An Afternoon Tea Treat This Mother’s Day!

Jasveer Sidhu
8 May 2019

Mum’s definitely the word this month as grateful children everywhere secretly plan something beautiful on the second Sunday of May, which is just around the corner. A proven way to make mumsy happy takes the scrumptious afternoon tea route, and there are numerous places around town which are more than up to the mark in serving up moments to hold dear!

The Majestic KL
KL’s traditional bastion for a spot of tea, the pre-WW2 British-toned Majestic KL has a number of settings preserved over the decades to maintain the old-timey feel.

The Tea Lounge is one, as is the Drawing Room, but the magnificent Orchid Conservatory takes the cake when it comes to a ladylike partaking of the afternoon ritual, amidst a hanging garden and graceful blooms.

Newens Tea House
London-based Newens is known for upholding the quintessential British tea heritage to a T since 1850, going strong all these years thanks to its commitment towards the beverage and anything that goes with it, including the brand’s popular Maid of Honour cakes.

With an easy-on-the-eye venue that radiates refinement, Newens pampers guests, and excels at impressing on special occasions.

Betjeman & Barton
Intimating an Anglo-French atmosphere, this tea house was founded when the eponymous partners opened their establishment in Paris, overlaying a helping of Gallic influences on a foundation of English tea and forming a legacy of around a hundred years to date.

Their classy KL outlet is where one would appreciate this history enveloped by the chic ambience, a quaint scene in which to celebrate an exceptional someone.

Cafés Richard
Though a little out of KL, a trip up to misty SkyAvenue requites a café experience straight from the City of Light. Cafés Richard certainly indulges coffee lovers, but it doesn’t forget those partial to good old tea either.

Monochromatic designs and a frangipani-shaped external lounge add panache, while exacting measures ensure top-quality brews make the table, accompanied by a petite chest of high tea gems for a meaningful afternoon.

Miss Ellie Tea House
Scones are a natural ingredient of an afternoon tea, and this homely outlet has arguably the best in town, according to its patrons. Buttery and crumbly though still moist, the baked treats are served plain, with raisins, whipped cream and homemade jams.

It also has a cosy interior where you can sit back, relax and while away a few well-spent hours of family bonding while munching on pastries, and sipping on something from its tea and coffee selection.
