Afternoon tea. Interesting experience. Recommend reservations. We went here recently (brother recommended this place). The place was quaint. We selected the tea for one. Each of us chose 2 sandwich flavors and a pot of tea. I got the flowering tea, it has a mild flowery taste and is visually pleasing. Sandwiches were an interesting experience. The coconut jam was surprisingly good. I personally got the meatfloss and the turkey with Brie and fig jam. The turkey was somewhat sweet....read full review
Lovely experience at Malaya tea house with friends. Highly recommend the special tea similar to that sold in street markets in Malaysia. I look forward to coming back with family & little ones next time.
If you are looking for a chill afternoon tea experience this is the spot. Tea choices may not be as vast as other tea shops but with the decadent light food and dessert options makes it a very pleasant time. On the weekends it’s a set menu option per person and I got the coconut jam and meat floss option with number 54 tea. All were really tasty and the dessert included was light , the scone very good with preserves and butter cream. Tea was caramel and buttery , really...read full review

The Malaya Tea Room offers a quaint and unique high tea experience, blending traditional tea service with South Asian flavors. The menu features delicious sandwiches, such as curry chicken, cucumber, turkey and fig, and smoked salmon, along with sweet options like scones, cobbler, and macaroon. The highlight is the curry chicken sandwich, Kaya sandwich, and Malaysia pulled tea, which is available on weekends. The tea selection is delightful, including the Malaysian Pulled Tea, but it can be highly caffeinated and may taste watered down if not steeped properly. The presentation of the food is impressive, often beyond what photos can capture.
The ambiance is cozy, making it a great spot for catching up with friends or enjoying a date. The service is friendly and attentive but may require ringing a bell for assistance, and individual platters are not always served, so sharing may be necessary. Seating is limited, but outdoor tables are available, and the place is wheelchair accessible. The chairs and benches may be uncomfortable for long periods, and the tea might be less flavorful if not steeped well.
Overall, it is a charming place for a casual but delicious high tea, especially appreciated for its ethnic twist and friendly atmosphere. Reservations are recommended, and it is a good choice for both adults and children, with a kid-friendly menu available.
