Looking for place to spend the afternoon while enjoying a soothing cup of tea? Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur is a nice choice!
Afternoon tea is served at Horizon Grill, the hotel’s upscale restaurant on Level 58. Perched at this lofty height, the venue commands breathtaking views of Kuala Lumpur.
For a limited time, Horizon Grill serves Festive Afternoon Tea in the spirit of the Christmas season. Guests can indulge in a curated selection of yuletide-inspired delights.
Savory Selections
Savory items are customarily consumed first. The experience begins with a sophisticated mix of seasonal bites.
The Crab Croissant features the richness of crab meat balanced by aromatic zest of yuzu. The inclusion of chives adds onion-like notes, while caviar on top provides a burst of brininess.
The next savory item is Chicken, Sesame & Lettuce. This chicken sandwich has light and balanced taste — nutty flavor of sesame complemented by crisp freshness of lettuce.
This is followed by Smoked Salmon, Oranges, Pink Peppercorn & Dill. This delightful bite offers pleasant savoriness of smoked salmon that is nicely lifted by tangy sweetness of oranges.
Rounding out the savory offerings is the Smoked Eggplant, Mint & Wasabi. This intriguing combination is blessed by cooling sensation of mint and wasabi-based mayonnaise.
Sweet Delights
Moving to sweet items, the Reindeer carefully balances bold intensity of dark chocolate mousse with nutty sweetness of hazelnut cream. The morsel is finished with the delightful crunch of praline.
Next, the Wreath offers a tropical and aromatic profile — thanks to the distinctive fragrance of pandan ganache and fruity sweetness of mango sponge. Meanwhile, popcorn praline adds a surprisingly delightful caramelized crunch.
The Xmas Tree Choux is a light choux pastry filled with strawberry compote. Shaped like a Christmas tree, cardamom-infused whipped ganache introduces subtle warmness that elevates the overall flavor.
The Santa’s Hat is built on a crisp vanilla sablé base. The floral aroma of jasmine mousse is enhanced by peach compote and tangy yuzu marshmallow.
The afternoon tea experience concludes with freshly baked scones: classic and raisin ones. These buttery bites are served with mixed berry jam and clotted cream.
The afternoon tea comes with free flow of coffee and tea. We like to have black tea infused with rose and French vanilla. The aroma is heavenly indeed.
