Newens Tea House @ Starhill Gallery, Kuala Lumpur

Welcome to the new tea house in Kuala Lumpur! Last week was insanely busy, however I managed to squeeze some time to take a break at the new and elegant Newens Tea House @ Starhill Gallery.

Maids of Honour Tarts

The British tea house, Newens has brought historic 500 year old Maids of Honour tarts to Malaysia for the first time. They were first discovered by Tudor King Henry VIII who declared them so delicious the recipe was kept secret for 200 years until it was leaked in the Mid-18^th century by Palace cook to John Billet, a master baker in nearby Richmond.

Tea For Two

I am glad that tried the delectable Original 500 year old Maids of Honour tarts at Newens Tea House, the art-deco inspired venue. It is slightly on a sweet side for me but I like the overall savory taste and aroma of the freshly baked tart. 

That day we had the High Tea For Two that comes with maids of honour tarts, freshly baked scones (plain & fruits), clotted cream and preserves, assorted sandwiches, macaroons, pastries, fruit tarts and a pot of tea. The high tea for two is priced at RM100 available from 230pm to 530pm. They also has the options Oriental Afternoon Tea set that comes with the varieties of Chinese dim sum.

It was the first time Maids of Honour tarts which are baked using traditional methods and to a secret recipe which has been passed down through five generations of the Newens family have been baked outside the UK.

Newens dainty delicacies

Well, the afternoon tea, Newens pies and other delicacies, freshly baked on-site were also served alongside 60 varieties of specialist teas from exclusive stockists around the world. 

The macaroons... aaa :D
