LWIN LEE | TEA VERANDAH @ ATRIA MALL

  

The Tea Verandah begins its operation on the same day as Atria Mall is officiated and opened to public in the month of May recently. Epicurean especially tea enthusiasts particularly, surely would love to drop by here one of these days, to harvest a variety of tea types that gonna engage you sensuously. As the saying goes, “Birds of the same feather will flock together” right?  So let’s have a relaxing gathering here over some delicious homey grubs to accompany your tea enjoyment too.

Joan, the amiable café owner who is also an ardent tea lover, would be more glad than happy to share her insightful knowledge with regards to tea or any questions pertaining to this dainty delights. There are indeed a smorgasbord of  potpourri of tea blends for you to tickle your taste amusingly, from Europe Fruits Tea, Organic Tea, Herbs Tea, Healthy Tea, Pure Europe Herbs & Flowers Tea, Rooibos Tea, Yogurt Tea to your Classic Black Tea.

While allowing the tea to steep, let’s first start off with some wholesome meal freshly dished up upon order by Chef Imran and the team.

Moules marinières- classic French cuisine style to greet you as starter.

MUSSELS POT (MYR 18.90)

Mussels braised in special butter garlic sauce, served with bread toasts.

I somehow get addicted to the lightly browned but crispy toasties, served alongside creamy sauce which is freshly grated from cream cheese block to render that delicate milkiness.

GRILLED SALMON STEAK (MYR 25.90)

Salmon steak served with mashed potato, garlic butter spinach and asparagus.

Love the juicy slab of oceanic treat that is calmly seated atop the chunky spud. The salmon seems to be poached and lightly marinated to preserve its natural taste. Bit of salt and pepper here and there, are sufficient. Health conscious folks would definitely delights in this healthy grub which comes simply palatable and fuss-free.

Now let’s not get too carried away with the toothsome food and forget about our tea brewing at the other corner. Let’s check out what’s in stored for us.

All tea comes in 3 different types of tea pot sizes; Elegant, Petite and Classic.

TROPICAL SKY (MYR 13.80-A POT / MYR 33- T SET)

Pineapple, papaya, mango, tangerine slice, safflower, rose, sunflower and physalis (gooseberries)

This Europe Fruit Tea caught my attention immediately after the first sips and the memory remains vividly even till now when recalling it.  It’s so fragrant and sweet-scented with various fruits aroma that easily makes anyone’s perfect chillers and instant thirst-quenchers.

This fruit tea produced from a factory in Germany and then personally hand-picked by Joan and patented to Tea Verandah, which is a the brainchild of the youthful lass herself.

TEA VERANDAH (MYR 18-A POT / MYR 36.50- T SET)

Apple bits, lemon bits, cherries, pineapple, mango bits, papaya, hibiscus blossoms, orange peels, rose hips peels, elder berries, peach bits, apricot bits and orange bits.

It tastes as good as it smells. Graceful and fruity undertone gently greets your palate upon the first sip before rounds up with a delicate and harmonious aftertaste with a mild bite tanginess. It’s elegant in its way too.

 As for the Rooibos Tea category, we tried CAPPUCCINO CREAM (MYR 13.80-A POT / MYR 33- T SET)

Rooibos, cappuccino bits and marigold blossoms- essentially comes with the coffee aroma.

Something really intriguingly interesting- suitable for those looking for alternative to fix their caffeine craving or to reduce coffee intake. It makes a healthier version for the caffeine content in the cappuccino flower is really minimal, if not almost inexistent. So, keep them in the check-list (=

New tea in the house- BEN’GIN (MYR 9.90)

Bentong ginger, red dates and lemon.

I must say that the ginger taste is pretty strong as the best of the best breed from Bentong is used, hence this surely appeals to true ardent fans of ginger, which is one of a good to improve indigestion.

Not your cup of tea still? Fret not as there are still a mélange of other teas selections from the various varietals which help in easing irregular sleeping pattern and some particular blend even  aids in slimming down purpose too.

After the first sip for the original tea taste , guests could actually try adding in a smidgen or more sugar cane for another kind of palate enjoyment. To me, it somehow does enhance the tea fragrance- in this case, it was the signature Tea Verandah that I tested on. Not too bad an idea really.

 

What’s the ideal partner to any tête à tête session if not some morsel of desserts to complement the whole delectation on a sweet note?

 

TEA  VERANDAH CHEESECAKE (MYR 13.50)

The classic cheesecake garnished with some strawberries for some added tartness. Would be wonderful  if the cake presents a moister texture.

Tea Set or T Set as known here, is also available all day long.

Choices of morsels would change weekly, so do stay anticipated for surprise!

As for that day, our palate were tickled amusingly by Bread Puff with Spicy Crab Meat, Tuna Puff and Sausage Chutney Puff that thrills you out of the blue with the added crushed marlie biscuit in it, just like how you would usually enjoy your canapés.

On top of that, we are also accompanied by Chocolate Caramelized Bananas with Lady’s Fingers together with the ocean-themed Jelly with Osmanthus Flower as well as Vanilla Muffin.

In a nutshell, savoury food may not be that prominent over here as the main highlights still owes to its farrago of tea. Nevertheless, sheer passions and sincerity are warmly felt as part of their ingredients, so kudos to the ever chipper crew of Tea Verandah. More selections of desserts and gourmets would be added from time to time, so do stay tuned at Tea Verandah page or swift by whenever you are at Atria Mall.
