4. Visit Lady Yi’s Tea House at Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown
When: 11am – 7pm daily
Where: Level 7, Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur
Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown has just opened its latest dining venue, offering a bespoke Peranakan experience. Enter Lady Yi’s Tea House, named after Ms. Choy Yuin Yi, who helms the hotel along with her father, Dato’ Choy Wai Hin. The intimate space is characterised by floor-to-ceiling windows streaming natural light in to draw attention to the intricate dark wood panels and bold colours of the patterned tiles, plush furnishings, and a majestic phoenix painting.
“In tribute to a beloved grandmother and her fondness for Nyonya delicacies, the Peranakan Affair Afternoon Tea from Lady Yi’s Tea House is a scrumptious fusion of Eastern and Western flavours. Each delicate morsel—from the Chilli Prawn Pie Tee to the Braised Tamarind Duck in Chinese Pancake and lightly charred Otak Otak Sandwich—contains intricate flavours detailing the legacy of Malaysia’s multi-cultural heritage. You’ll see this too in the inventive desserts that reimagine Peranakan favourites such as onde-onde, pulut hitam and kuih bahulu. To accompany these sweet and savoury treats, Lady Yi’s Signature 11 Treasures Tea is a rich floral elixir that’s perfectly balanced to cut through both grease and gula melaka. Enjoy the Peranakan Affair Afternoon Tea at Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown (RM98+ per set) daily from 2pm to 6pm, or opt for takeaway or delivery with four hours advanced notice (RM128+).” — Adelina Tan, Deputy Editor
