3 Best High Tea in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Growing up in Kuala Lumpur City made me a city girl that loves to hang out with my besties over high tea. The traditional English afternoon tea (high tea) is popular here because we were influenced by British colonial. Today I’m gonna share my best places for high tea in KL.


First, TWG
We love TWG as it is available in major shopping malls in town. We can enjoy it almost anywhere and anytime after shopping. 
Among all the hot and cold dishes, we love the Matcha Financiers Recipe the most.
Just a small tip to you who have yet to visit TWG, do note that their tea is not refillable. Hence, sip your tea wisely otherwise you gotta spend extra RM 20 or more for a pot of tea.
TWG Tea at Pavilion KL address:
Pavilion Kuala Lumpur,
Level 2, Lot P2.16.00 & 2.34.01, 168, Jalan Bukit Bintang 55100
Kuala Lumpur
Tel: + 60 3 2142 9922
Opening Hours:
Monday - Sunday, 10am - 10pm

Secondly, Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur.
As one of the most historical building in KL that was built in Colonial time, Majestic Hotel is a beautiful place to enjoy high tea and take pretty pictures.

If you have the budget, do enjoy high tea in their beautiful Orchid room. Else a signature high tea at their elegant Tea Lounge is not bad too. We always try to get a table under the natural sun light for best pictures.

Another reason we chosen Majestic Hotel KL is because of its ample car parks at the basements. Guests could easily purchase a car park card at RM 10 at any restaurants in the hotel. We feel secure and safe there as guards wearing colonial army suits are seen almost everywhere there.

The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur address:
5, Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin,
50000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Tel : +603 2785 8000
Fax : +603 2785 8080

Last but not least, Newens Tea House at Starhill Gallery.
Newens Tea House is exclusive and unique as it is the only place that serve Maids of Honour tarts besides London. The tea taste really good here in Newens Tea House. 
What we like about Newens Tea House is that we could sit down and relax at the high-back chairs and sofas. It is quite privacy as well, plus enjoy watching the trendiest fashionistas walking around the distinctive shopping mall – Starhill Gallery.
High Tea for Two served with freshly baked scones, clotted cream and preserves, assorted sandwiches, Original Maids of Honour, delicious pastries and macarons, plus a pot of your preferred choice of tea for just RM 120 or more.
Newens Tea House Starhill Gallery Opening Hours:

Daily 10am-11pm

Melvita Nectar de Miels Body Care - Enriched with Organic Thyme Honey to Rescue even The Driest and Most Sensitive Skin

Honey is at the heart of the brand Melvita

I founded MELVITA in 1983, with reference to life and honey, that extraordinary product of flowers that sits at the confluence between the plant and the animal worlds


Bernard Chevilliat –Founder of Melvita


Honey brings a lot of health benefits. Born from a passion for BEES and the environment in 1983, French Pioneer Organic Beauty Brand, Melvita remains loyal to these tiny custodians of nature and continues to keep and maintain beehives, as well as exploring the healing properties contained within the produce - honey. Melvita continues to explore this precious gift of nature and has found an extraordinary solution in nature : Thyme flowers honey.
Thyme honey has an exceptional repairing powers, which acts like a natural « dressing » with an instant soothing effect. It has also reveal an amazing synergic effect when it is combined with acacia and orange blossom honeys in the NEW Melvita Nectar de Miels range, to heal and rescue very dry and sensitive skin.
The Nectar de Miels formulas relieve, repair and revitalise – and there is no need for a long massage for them to deliver all their benefits. The smooth, creamy textures sink in immediately with the softest caress.
Melvita's Thyme Honey

Thyme flowers are rich in nectar and loved by the bees of the Mediterranean Basin. The Romans would use it to purify the air in their houses, while in the Middle Ages, a few sprigs of thyme would be slipped under pillows to chase away nightmares and soothe troubled sleep.

Melvita's organic thyme honey comes from the La Sierra de Cebollera nature reserve in Spain. It is harvested by a family of beekeepers who have looked after almost 4,000 hives there for the past three generations. This natural enclave, surrounded by mountains, guarantees an organic honey of the highest quality.
With its exceptional nourishing and repairing properties, Thyme Honey is the star ingredient in the Nectar de Miels range. These soothing, comforting formulas also contain other, complementary active ingredients, chosen by Melvita.


The NEW Melvita Nectar de Miels body care range has unique ingredients of ;

1)      ITS PATENTED COMPLEX OF THREE ORGANIC HONEYS, namely thyme, orange blossom and acacia, which protects, repairs and revitalizes the skin.
2)      SOLINE, an active ingredient derived from sunflower oil, which softens the skin, helps prevent moisture loss and strengthens the skin's barrier function.
3)      ALPHA-BISABOLOL, derived from candeia, which immediately soothes the skin.

Melvita Nectar de Miels Body Care Range was launched in April 2016 and it has 3 products below ;

The complex of three organic honeys protects and revitalizes, plant-based glycerine helps restore elasticity, soline repairs, and alphabisabolol softens from the very first application.
