The scent of fresh berries and the warmth of a perfectly brewed pot of tea now fill The Living Room at The Westin Kuala Lumpur. More than just an afternoon tea, the new ‘Di Tanah Tinggi’ experience is a poetic tribute to the lush, mist-covered slopes of the Cameron Highlands.
Honouring the Soil
The name itself, which translates to ‘The High Grounds,’ serves as a gentle reminder of the connection between the plate and the land. By sourcing strawberries directly from local Malaysian growers, The Westin Kuala Lumpur celebrates the richness of home-grown produce. This initiative ensures that every bite is bursting with peak-season freshness while supporting the dedicated communities that tend to the highland soil.
Artistry in Every Detail
The menu is a labour of love from rising pastry talent Chef Bella Husna. With a deep passion for reimagining classic flavours, Chef Bella has transformed the humble strawberry into a series of stunning, refined creations. The triple-tiered stand arrives as a curated gallery of taste:
Savoury Sophistication: Unexpected delights like Beet Cured Salmon with Ikura and refreshing Lime Scented Watermelon Cones set a sophisticated tone.
Sweet Elegance: From the delicate Strawberry Rose Profiteroles to the rich Pistachio Strawbeery Gateaux, each piece reflects a contemporary twist on traditional patisserie.
The Comfort of Tradition: Warm, homemade scones, in both classic butter and dried strawberry varieties, paired with indulgent truffle butter and house-made jam, provide that quintessential afternoon tea glow.
The Perfect Escape with ‘Di Tanah Tinggi’
Whether gathering with a lifelong friend, celebrating a milestone, or simply seeking a quiet moment of refinement in the heart of the city, ‘Di Tanah Tinggi’ offers a sanctuary. Sips of fragrant Janat’s Strawberry Tea provide a harmonious finish to a journey that started in the cool mountain air and ended on the palate.
