Farquhar Mansion Afternoon Tea

Every girl's dream: To be able to dress up, sip afternoon tea and gossip.

And what am I doing with my life to achieve that sophisticated dream? Probably nothing.

Situated just opposite E&O hotel, Farquhar Mansion is a fine dining restaurant

and lounge that spoils girls with luxurious setting and environment.

Be it a decent lunch with family, catching up with babes over afternoon tea

or romantic dinner with darling, this place caters to all.

The al-fresco area is casual and relaxing with comfy couches surrounded by greens.

As a full-time journalist, it is quite rare for me to do tai tai things like this anymore as 

most days(when I'm not working) I just feel like lying on bed and do nothing.

I'm grateful that I have friends in my life who would motivate(in a way) me 

to get out of my house to spend time and share laughter. And food.

Anyway, we're talking about their afternoon tea today.

Each afternoon tea set comes in 3-tiers - Savory, Bread and Sweet Platter

Before you start eating, the server would explain to you what are on the platters.

Oh and you should attack from the bottom to top, start from the Savory Platter.

There were air dry duck breast served with black caviar, tandoori chicken canape, 

smoked salmon and ikura on potato pancake and baked wild mushroom quiche.

My favorite goes to the wild mushroom quiche, especially the soft pastry.

Next would be Bread Platter with house special English scones served with clotted cream 

and raspberry jam, mixed berry madeleine and chocolate au pain.

Love the madeleine as the texture was slightly course and

it's a little bit hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

Last but not least, the Sweet Platter that includes lemon shooter,

mont blanc, chocolate yuzu truffle and carrot cake.

Love their rendition of mont blanc which was a combination of sweet, sour, hard and soft.

Each afternoon tea set comes with coffee or tea.

Our jaw dropped when we saw this classy trolley with tea bags and pretty cups at the bottom.

They serve Tea Caddy by Ronnenfeldt with 7 flavors to be chosen from.

There are English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Jasmine, Refreshing Mint, Sweet Berry,

Cream Orange and Fruity White. The last one was everybody's favorite as it was 

sweet with peach and pear fragrance.

Instead of espresso coffee, they serve pour over drip coffee.

There goes my perfect kind of afternoon - A cuppa coffee with a little of sunshine and lots of laughter.

The afternoon tea set is priced at RM98++ for 2 pax and RM138++ for 3 pax.

Available daily(except Monday) from 3pm-5pm, prior reservation is required.
