#117 High Tea @ 1837 TWG Tea Salon & Boutique

1837 TWG Tea Salon

It was Mother's Day just last Sunday, and I brought my mom out to dinner with my siblings and I'm really glad that she was really delighted that day. My mom is always easily pleased with the tiniest things we do. So how did the rest of you spend your Mother's Day? I hope everyone had a good time even if it means simple, like just by saying I love you and hugging your mom or face-time her if you're abroad.

So anyway, I thought of pampering my mom to an afternoon tea sesh next weekend (which is on her birthday) and me being me, I started googling to see which place gets one of the best ratings and reviews. So as I was surfing the net, I recalled that I only went for a high tea sesh only twice or thrice(!?) Once at One Six Five, Delicious and then this, 1837 TWG Tea Salon. 

I really wanted to go to the one in Pavilion 'cause I've always preferred white lighting compared to yellow lighting. But it was a very impromptu date with my girlfriend and without any further deliberation,we simply settled down in Sunway Pyramid's TWG for a good afternoon tea sesh.

Was pretty amazed with the 18k gold-platted pot 'cause it's soooooooo purdy :3

I have a confession to make. I don't think this set is available on regular days 'cause this was their Christmas high-tea set and if I remembered correctly, it was only about RM59.90++ per set. It was reaaaaally worth it. 

I guess you could roughly guess what I had thaaaaaaaaat day. I personally love their mini bagels and scones. Not forgetting the scones' tea jelly and cream. Twg Tea's tea jelly is good, I swear. I can eat it even on its own.

Ootd: One piece (also can be worn as a cardi/jacket) from HnM.

Back to what I said earlier, that I wanted to bring my mom for an afternoon tea session next weekend.. Mind to give some suggestions on where should I bring my mom to? Besides Majestic because I know that's one of the best place to go (the view, the price, taste wise, hospitality, etc). Just wanted to have some options so I can let my mom make her pick. Drop a comment below if you've the time to! 

'Till then.

#90 The Soda Factory and Encore Patisserie Cafe @ Taman Desa

I've read reviews on both The Soda Factory and Encore Patisserie on EatDrinkKL many months back, but never have the thought of visiting those places until one day, a friend of mine asked us all to have a little catch up session at these places since she lives somewhere around that area. My purpose of blogging bout these two places is to create awareness to people who would love to try new eateries in Taman Desa.

I did not bring my camera along that day so all of the photos were taken with iPhone4 and iPhone5.

Decided to look for a picture or two on google to show you guys how these places look like so that you guys have a rough idea on where is it located at and whatnot.

Sourdough waffles and pizzas

Encore Patisserie:

Which is only a few seconds stroll down the same row as The Soda Factory.

Meringue lemon tart, eclair, mille-feuille, a cup of mocha latte and a teapot of earl grey tea. Couldn't remember what was the other thing there lol.

These are pretty good places to be at, just lay back, sipping a cup of good tea/coffee, satisfy your sweet-tooth with all the irresistible desserts and take the chance to bond with your family, friends or lover. Like, why not? Right?

#86 One Six Five (IVIV) @ Intercontinental Hotel, KL

Another week has gone by, and I was awfully caught up with the innumerable assignments and not forgetting tests in between. I've been this busy for the past one month and sometimes I tend to wish I could flee from this hectic life. My fondest wish is to be able to go for a short getaway with me love. That would do just great. Anyhow, I am thankful for all that I have learnt throughout my first semester in Degree.

Scratch that. I'm here to make another short update on One Six Five (IVIV), Intercontinental Hotel, KL. I've always wanted to go on a high-tea sesh with my best girlfriend, who's about to leave to further her studies in UK in less than 3 months time. & we finally did!

My OOTD.

RM75 for a set.

Basically they serve two different afternoon tea sets. One would be the Royal Afternoon Tea that comes with raisin and plain scones, lemon meringue tart, chocolate and pistachio opera, brulee, macaron, eclair, mini bagel, burger, smoked salmon and caviar crostini, mini crab remoulade roll and a pot of tea.

The other one would be the Malaysia menu; Selera Afternoon Tea that serves sesame and plain scones, durian eclair,chocolate opera, mango pannacotta with coconut sago, kuih lapis, mini burger, kuih paiti, butter prawn saffron roll, egg tart, samosa and a pot of tea as well.

I'd recommend you guys to try Shanghai Rose tea. I don't know how to put it into words but its simply aromatic.

Views from where I sat.

A decent photo with ma ladies.

I'm sorry for this poor update. I took very few photos that day 'cause I got into an accident whereby my left arm was actually dislocated and it was a trouble to be moving around, snapping photos and all that with the discomfort caused by my injured arm. Haha.

'till then!

#53 Delicious

Another last minute tea-time sesh with my sisters on a Sunday evening. Initially, we planned to go to the Upstairs Cafe in SS12 'cause i'm craving for their red velvet cake but little did I know, it is closed on Sundays. So do take note that Upstairs Cafe is closed on Sundays k!

Since then, we headed to Sunway Pyramid's Delicious for desserts without having a second thought. We ordered the 3 tier tray set, inclusive of two cups of either coffee or tea at RM59.90. I think it's pretty reasonable if it's shared equally to 3-4 person though.

Flat White coffee

Earl Grey Tea

& the pretty 3 tier tray!

This set has a pavlova, 2 sticks of strawberries fondue, 2 scones with whipped cream and jam, 3 cookies, 2 dark chocolates, 2 tarts and 6 slices of sandwiches.

I personally think that the portion is too big for 3 person. Perhaps 4 person will be just nice. Not forgetting, these girls treated me 'cause they didn't manage to buy me a birthday present so this was basically a belated birthday "celebration / gift". Seriously, how thoughtful of them! :')

Sorry for the blur picture! My ootd ;)

JM! :)
