Altitude (Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur)

The Welcome bites and savoury items from their afternoon tea set are surprisingly better than sweet items. While the classic roasted beef sandwich with Horseradish sauce is tasty, the beetroot macaron with House cured salmon and sour creme is a unique combination.

Welcome items: Garden Herb Garlic tuile, Rosemary coral tuile and lobster cone.

Savoury items:
1. Foie gras delight: pancake coated foie gras with Banyuls shallots.
2. Land meets Sea: beetroot macaron with House cured Atlantic Salmon and sour creme.
3. The Cracker: crab meet grissini, ginger & Lemongrass, curry Cappuccino.
4. The Seawave: Sea urchin creme with sliced Granny Smith and shaved Bottarga.
5. The Classic: Roasted beef sandwich with Horseradish sauce.

An unconventional yet innovative afternoon tea at Altitude by Austrian Chef Alexander Waschl. Those who wish to lounge in a relaxing ambience, high ceiling interior with glittery lightings and impressive backdrop of the city skyline might enjoy this sky high afternoon tea at the newly opened Banyan Tree KL.

Their afternoon tea set is served accordingly from Welcome(canapés), to Savoury and lastly Sweets. You can choose from a selection of Harney & Sons fine tea or coffee to pair with it. While the presentation seems promising, I find it lack of dept when it comes to taste and the portions were rather small like canapés for cocktails. I find their buttery mini scones quite good as they taste like the real deal but not satisfying enough since each of them is a bite size full.

Sweet items:
1. Briolette bites: Raspberries & Violet mousse cake with 35% glazed white chocolate.
2. Mango passion fruit explosion: Passionfruit mousse with mango jelly green tea sponge.
3. Strawberry etton mess: Pastry cream with fresh strawberries, strawberry sauce, coconut meringue almond sponge.
4. Cherry Choc: Cherry mousse with cherry jelly, almond sponge and sea salt choc Sablés.
5. Pistachio macaroons.
6. Teh tarik choux choux: Choux pastry filled with Teh tarik pastry cream, chocolate hazelnut Gianduja molten heart.
7. Classic plain mini scones and cranberry mini scones.
