Betjeman & Barton

Sometime last month, Valentine’s day to be exact – my friend , Mena asked me to join her for an event under WEVENTS group.  It’s a no men, Women’s only event held once in a few months, for working ladies to meet up , chat and just let their hair down. This time on how to make perfume!

 The event was held at Betjeman & Barton in 1 Utama. Nope – have not heard of this place before , so I was pretty excited to see what they have in store. I knew it was a tea joint, but they had other things to order too.  

This shop was started off by Arthur Betjemen and Percy Barton in 1919 – two tea experts in France. They have lots of tea in this shop – all sorts .  We were served with the tea in an adorable tea pot , and they had many other types of teapots , tea canisters on sale too. Some really quaint and dainty, some just pretty and posh.

The part I was waiting for was the hi tea :  the macaroons and cakes already looked so tempting on display when I walked into the shop. They had something called the Afternoon Tea Set and it was lovely. Several types of cakes, macaroons and chocs served on a 3 tier plate , with a fabulous tea. For me , tea is just not my cup of tea :-) , but this was different. It was light , it had flavor and went down well, you just feel like drinking from the tea pot. But then.. lets behave now :-). The tea that was served  called the Hidden Rose tea, their signature Pouchkine tea.

Each of these items can be bought separately too if you don't want to get the afternoon tea set. From the choice we were given, I would recommend the macaroons, lemon tart ,Mangue mousse ( mango mousse), Oreo Cheese Mousse and Tiramissu.

Don't forget also the assortment of hand made chocs. They come in so many variants : Blueberry Milk hearts, Dark Pralinosa and etc..

 

All of them melt straight in the mouth and have an extremely smooth texture. The macaroons were too sweet for my friend so , do opt it out if you don't feel all too sugary..

At the end we were served with an amazing tea ice cream with beetroot & black sesame cone. Ice cream was awesome. The cone was much of an acquired taste. Felt a slight bitter Thumbs up for the creativity.

After all the sugar loading , I will have only one thing to say. Great tea served with great accompaniments.

 

Bon appetite!
