Afternoon Tea @ TWG, Pavilion

Not sure what to do during this long weekend, we decided to go walk around @ KL. Normally i will not want to go down KL during weekends as it will be super jam and packed. Since most of the people "Balik Kampung" already thought it would be fun to just walk around empty KL, unfortunately although the roads were clear, Pavilion was super packed.

After some window shopping, we came across this place for afternoon tea. We actually went to the one in Marina Bay Sands(MBS) before and the setting there was wonderful as the cafe is actually situated on top of the Canal that is running along inside MBS, so we decided to give this one in Pavilion a try. For those who have difficulty finding the place, its actually right in front of Prada.


 TWG have a super wide selection of teas ranging from RM18 - over RM300 !!! 

The huge selection of teas means you can visit every day for the next 3 - 4 months and still not tried every one of the tea blends they have.




 If you decide to tarpau the tea leaves for home consumption they will carefully weigh it by the gram



We decide to order the Fortune Afternoon Tea Set(RM55) which comes with:

1) A pot of RM18 tea of your choice (Tea above RM18 have to pay extra)
2) Scones, Muffins or Cake of your choice (go for the cake as the scones are left open uncovered)
3) Warm toasted Sandwich with cheese and smoked salmon served with side salad
4) 3 pieces of macaroons of your choice


 Polo Club Tea (Green Tea with Spices & Caramel)

 Served on 3 tiered plates :)

 Toasted Smoked Salmon Sandwich.

 Fruit Tart. This was nice. Reminds me of the Delifrance fruit tarts that i used to love.

Tea infused Choc, Caramel & Blueberry Scones !!!

The scones have much more fancy names but cant remember them. A thing to note is that its sold here for RM4 each which is much cheaper then in Singapore which is sold for SGD3. So far the best tasting scones in Klang Valley. Blueberry one is exceptionally nice.

Summary:

It was a nice experience but a tad bit costly IMHO, but the environment is pretty nice. The tea is not refillable BTW, barely enough for 2 people.

Rating:

Environment - 4/5 (very nice decor)
Yummy Factor - 4/5 (overall food was satisfying, the tea was good)
Value for Money - 2/5 (on the expensive side, especially on the non-refillable tea)
Service - 3/5 (pleasant & polite waiting staffs but nothing spectacular)
Will return ? - Probably

Overall - 3.5/5
