Afternoon tea at Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is getting a distinctly French accent this season. Crème de la Crème, running from 11 September through 30 November 2026 at Park Lounge, honours eight decades of Elle & Vire, the Normandy dairy house whose butter and cream have quietly shaped pastry kitchens around the world.
Chef Mandy Brings Her Signature Touch
For this collaboration, Park Lounge has enlisted Chef Mandy, founder of Finesse Patisserie in Hong Kong and an Elle & Vire brand ambassador, to lead the creative charge. Her path into pastry began at fifteen, and by 2022 she had opened her own atelier, a milestone that followed years of building a reputation sharp enough to earn her a Best Pastry Chef title from 100 Top Tables. That eye for detail shows up across her contributions to the menu, among them a Flan Cacao Walnut, a Verbena Lime Bubble Tart and a Pecan Café Latte, each one leaning into contemporary technique while keeping Elle & Vire’s dairy at the centre.
Chef Holger Deh’s Contribution to the Menu
Executive Pastry Chef Holger Deh rounds out the offering with a set of creations that bring his own style into the mix. His Black Forest Cherries reimagine a classic in miniature form, while a Mille Feuille infused with coconut kaya flavour nods to local palates, and a Monaca Genmaicha brings a quieter, tea-forward note to the spread. Together, savoury and sweet courses move guests through a menu built as much around texture and craft as around the anniversary it celebrates.
A Menu That Evolves Through the Season
The launch on 11 September brings Chef Mandy to Park Lounge in person, with live accordion music setting a suitably Parisian mood for the afternoon. Rather than staying static for three months, the menu is designed to shift with the season. October ushers in a fresh set of additions, and November closes the run with a festive edition, giving returning guests a reason to book more than once and ensuring the tribute to Elle & Vire keeps evolving rather than simply repeating itself.
Beyond the Tea Table
Chef Holger’s touch extends past the tea table too. His exclusive Black Forest creation, developed specifically for the collaboration, is available at the Bakery Bar and online, meaning the celebration can be brought home rather than confined to a single seating.
