2. Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur

Some places tend to overdo it with their high-tea sets and include a mix of items that are not quite palatable. Sometimes it is best to go back to the basics and keep it classic like The Lounge at Four Seasons does, with a posh yet tasteful ambiance to boot. It has a good balance of savoury and sweet delights which are well worth a try especially their buttery scones with a choice of classic or blueberry, served with a generous helping of cream and butter on the side.

2.30pm to 5.30pm, daily
