Aoi Sample is a popular destination offering hands-on food sample making experiences. Visitors get to create realistic, miniature food art such as kaisendon or parfait/ crepe straps and even wax tempura batter experience in their factory.
Last weekend, I attended a fun workshop with my friends organized by GANNENDO.

Ahhh tai-tai life – well, a fake tai-tai life to be exact. It’s been far too long since I indulged in a little afternoon luxury. Spotted this new afternoon tea place that is set high on the Level 75 of Malaysia’s tallest building, and of course I had to check it out – Park Lounge Afternoon Tea at Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.
Park Lounge Afternoon Tea
RM 218 per set
Served with coffee or tea
Instead of the traditional 3-tier tray, the Park Lounge Afternoon Tea is designed as a refined multi-course experience. We were served with amuse bouche, savoury course and palate cleanser before proceeding to classic elements like scones and mini madeleine, and finally the elegant pastries from the dessert trolley.
The afternoon tea is complemented with unlimited pours of tea or coffee. Or you may top up to enjoy it with a glass of champagne or sparkling tea.
We were overjoyed as we got to taste quite a number of teas from the list! We tasted the signature blend, and some of the black tea, white tea, green tea and herbal tea!
Savouries and sweets, tea and long hours chat, and of course the great companies. That’s how we ended up staying at this spot for long hours, munching sweets and sipping tea.
