Made in Malaysia: The Lounge Unveils New Locally-Inspired Afternoon Tea at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Savour the flavourful abundance of Malaysia with the new Sereni-Tea Afternoon Tea at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Served in the enchanting elegance of The Lounge, the newly crafted menu shines the spotlight on local ingredients and culinary traditions, bringing the charm of Malaysia to the classic afternoon tea experience.

“Our new selection is inspired by the bounty of Malaysia, a land blessed by nature. International guests will have the chance to discover the diverse flavours of this destination, while local guests can rediscover their favourite flavours in exciting new forms,” shares Yann Roumanille, Executive Pastry Chef.

Sereni-Tea Afternoon Tea

Gather with friends and family for a picturesque feast, dressed in the vibrant colours of Malaysia. The signature sweets and savouries combine iconic western recipes with meticulously chosen local ingredients.

Chef Yann’s personal favourite is the Chocolate Couture, a sumptuous composition of cacao cake, buckwheat praline and chocolate mousse infused with native Buah Keluak. Known as the truffle of the east, Buah Keluak is the seed of the kepayang tree and has a rich history in Peranakan cuisine. It is prized for its earthy and smoky notes, lending a wonderful depth of flavour to every bite.

Sample other sweet treats such as the Jolie Figue Haute, featuring fig leaf mousse and ginger compote on multigrain sable, and The Butterfly, an elegant blend of Sabah black tea cake, milk chocolate crémeux and bergamot jelly. Teatime classics arrive with a fresh local flair: enjoy Coconut Scones with homemade kaya and mango-passionfruit jam.

On the savoury side, discover the Coronation Chicken, elevated with Malaysian touches such as smoked curry aioli, mango powder and dried floss, and the Keto Egg Salad with avruga caviar, spiced with Sarawak black pepper and garlic chives. Offering true indulgence for the tastebuds, the Pulled Beef Brisket is paired with the rich flavours of Comté cheese, pickled jalapeño and watercress.

Create delectable new memories in the inviting ambience of The Lounge at Four Seasons, brightened by expansive views of the city.
