Afternoon tea at THIRTY8, Grand Hyatt Hotel Kuala Lumpur

It was pig's birthday and guess what I treated him for a nice high tea as a birthday present! Well, it's bored to buy presents for every occasion (Valentine, Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas?) and when you don't know what to buy when we have everything we need. Thus here you go, an afternoon high tea at the infamous Thirty8 Restaurant in Grand Hyatt Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

We parked at KLCC and walked over to the hotel since it's located right beside KLCC. Heard that parking rates in Grand Hyatt is expensive thus went for KLCC instead. We were glad to grad a nice seat with good view that day even though we didn't make a reservation. Oh well, it will be good enough if we get a seat without any reservation as reservation is essential because it's always full house. If you come on weekends, make a reservation few days or a week before hand.

Since it's a weekday, they only have afternoon high tea set and some ala carte menu available. The infamous ala carte dessert featuring their Signature cake and other famous desserts was not available and it's only available on Saturday ;(  It's okie; we'll come on weekend one day to try their signature cake. For now, let's go for their afternoon high tea set instead.

Their afternoon tea set is available from 3 to 5pm on Monday to Thursday. Priced at RM68+ per set per head. Which means each set consist of the portion for one person at RM68+ . You can share the set with your friends because if you're going for a heavy dinner; you might not be able to fully digest your high tea meal in time for dinner. We ordered 2 sets for sharing since we had 3 pax dining in and 3 hours later; we'll have scrumptious dinner at a fine dining Thai restaurant nearby. Thus, sharing is essential ;)

Each afternoon tea set comes with either a coffee or tea. Although we went for 2 sets only, they gave us another drink too. Yay! Thus, we had one coffee and two jugs of tea.  0.o

From the bottom tier, it's the world of cakes and puffs ;) There's 2 pcs of cream puffs, 2pcs of Chocolate layer cakes and 2 pcs of Strawberry Cheesecake.

World of cakes ;)

Here comes the second tier; mini sponge cake or is it Madeleine? and tarts.

Top tier with MACAROONS and thin slices of nougat. Macaroon was okie (those at TWG was better) and I love the nougat. 

It also comes with 4pcs of scones and c-r-e-a-m-y cream and strawberry preserve. I love the cream! Creamy and light. yum. Scones was freshly baked too.

Scones!

Last but not least, there's sandwiches too. There's 3 types which are egg mayo, tuna and chicken ham versions.

Sandwiches

Afternoon high tea was good! You can enjoy the beautiful view of the Petronas Twin Tower as well as the scenic KL view. A good way to spend your afternoon overlooking the scenery while sipping your tea.

We sat right in front of this view.

It was tea time when we were in 1Utama recently and was craving for afternoon tea set. We had tried the one in Delicious and was looking for something different. We have been buying breads from Lavender bakery whenever we stopped by 1Utama but had never tried their restaurant; L . Table. Looking through the menu, we're glad that there's a afternoon tea set which is priced at RM30 only!

 Since it's an afternoon tea, we don't need a heavy afternoon tea because few hours ago, it was lunch time and few hours later; you'll need stomach space for dinner. Thus, this afternoon set fits just right at an affordable price!

The afternoon tea set comes with a drink (coffee or tea) and we chose this Cafe Latte. It comes with a meringue on the plate. Not bad though the coffee.

Here comes the afternoon tea set; served on a L-shaped display counter style. This is a portion for 1 person but it's okie for sharing since we're going to have dinner 2 hours later. It comes with scone, 2pcs of sandwiches complete with herb butter, croissant with ham and 2pcs of cakes. At the end of the afternoon tea session, we were bloated due to the pastry and cakes. I love the chocolate cake! Scone and sandwich was alright.  

It's tea time

Yum!

Afternoon tea set at RM30!

Not bad though where you only pay RM15 per head for sharing. A good option if yo have limited budget to spend on afternoon tea ;)  Their main meals looks good too at an affordable price ;)
