TEA FOR TWO
START SAVOURY, from the bottom of Brasserie Fritz’s three-tier afternoon tea. The prawn sandwich, slathered with salted egg cream cheese mayo and topped with cucumber is buttery, spicy, and refreshing, while the chicken curry kapitan with cilantro mayo is truly fragrant and delicious. KEEPING THINGS PALATABLE is the “pot of the day”, refreshed daily for an element of surprise. If you’re lucky, you might get the steamed cheesecake with berry coulis, which is light as air and has an amazing fluffy texture with the rich aroma of cream cheese. Move over to the baby Berliners, available in distinctive flavours of peanut butter and rhubarb, before cleansing your palate with the crispy coconut meringue. PLAN YOUR SWEET ESCAPE with the uniquely crafted pastries. The Savarin cake is a sublime tea sponge soaked in sweet rose syrup and crowned with fresh Chantilly, while the two-piece Religieuse spins a fresh take on the classic French pastry, assembled with a top choux of citrus passion fruit and a vanilla lychee cream-filled bottom. Wash it all down with a pot of bright Tea Drop Oolong Kiwi, to balance out the sugary decadence. Priced at RM55++ per person. Brasserie Fritz, Ground Floor, Wolo Bukit Bintang.
