Arteastry Hi-Tea @ Element Kuala Lumpur

The highly popular Arteastry Hi-Tea at Element Kuala Lumpur recently received a makeover and we were invited over to the hotel to experience it. The revamped Arteastry Hi Tea is available every weekend and public holidays at TRACE Restaurant & Bar, located on Level 40 of the tallest eco-friendly hotel in Kuala Lumpur. 

Complemented by a fantastic view of the city, this unique afternoon tea combine elements of art, tea and pastry and is perfect for a weekend tête-à-tête with your friends or loved one. 

First to arrive were the Cold Savouries, such as Smoked salmon bagel, Chicken lyoner on foccaia bread, Vegetable wrap with sweet chilli drip and Vegetarian Vietnamese roll, presented on a sleek, black clay slate. 

Once we were done with our first platter, we moved on to the Hot Savouries - embellished with dry-ice for a smoky effect. Here, you will find a mix of Western and Asian delights such as Beef slider or Fish slider with charcoal bun, Shepherd's pie, Black pepper chicken pie and Lemongrass spiced fish. Highly delicious - the kids especially loved the lemongrass spiced fish and fish slider. 

This was followed swiftly by the homemade scones, served with whipped cream and chocolate ganache as well as fruit tartlets. 

Now, for the fun part of the Arteastry experience, the presentation of "In the Forest" by one of the pastry chefs right before your eyes. Attending to us was Chef Qistina, who started by laying newspaper-like food grade paper on the table. 

Sit back and watch as the chef deftly paints an edible artwork, using strokes of chocolate sauce and raspberry confit and then decorating it with macarons, jelly beans, chocolate soil, sponge squares, marshmallow, mango chutney, and fresh berries to create her artwork. Finally, a green tinted chocolate sphere is placed in the middle of the sheet, and the kids were invited to crack open the sphere using mini hammers, revealing cheesecake chunks in the centre. To end, Chef Qistina drizzles warm chocolate sauce over the chocolate ball.... and then it's time to dig in! A lovely, sweet indulgence.
