Sometimes, it’s nice to indulge ourselves once in a while. Take afternoon tea, for example. It is a great way to sit back and unwind while enjoying a cup of freshly-brewed tea or coffee with a scrumptious array of pastries, scones and finger sandwiches. That said, here are the Top 10 Places For Afternoon Tea in KL & Selangor areas.
1) Miss Ellie Tea House
Words like “quaint” and “homey” are best described for the charming Taman Melawati’s Miss Ellie Tea House. The interior is both cosy and inviting, the kind that gives you a laidback feeling, perfect for sitting back and relaxing with a cup of tea. Here, they serve a quality range of tea ranging from Darjeeling Earl Grey to Assam Blend and French Lavender. Don’t forget to pair your favourite tea with their freshly-baked scones. Served warm with whipped cream and homemade strawberry & thyme jam, the scones are available in either plain, chocolate, raisin or oat flavour.
