On Saturday, Jan 19, we went to High Tea at the Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia was a British colony for around a hundred years, so there are many places around to have high tea. Also, they call it "Afternoon Tea" instead of "High Tea". The British call it "Afternoon Tea", and since it's a British custom, that is the proper way to say it. There seemed to be a wedding going on while we were there.
The tea service had small sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, and small cakes. The hotel and the tea were very fancy, and the other people there were wearing fancier clothes. We felt very underdressed. There was someone playing a piano while we ate.
The overall experience was much more pleasant than any high tea I have had in the U.S. In the U.S, it was loud and crowded and the tea did not taste very good. I look forward to having more tea!
