Hyatt Erawan Tea Room, Bangkok

We lurve to drop by here for a casual hi-tea esp on a hot day....where we can just laze around and browse through some of their local publications. Thais are really creative ppl, even the layout of their magazine is so attractive and interesting.

Moreover it's run by the very same hotel we stayed at, so how convenient can it be? Monkey was here in December and was quite disappointed with their hi-tea set then.....it was a Christmas themed hi-tea set!!!!!

HORROR!!!!
most of the local Thai delicacies were placed with christmas stollen and some really uninteresting small bites with a "christmassy" feel
:"(( and after my stay, I wrote them 2 really really long emails....providing "feedbacks" on service, rooms, hotels, food, standard of operating systems etc. I call them feedbacks bcoz they were constructive. Followed up with comments and suggestions. In return he replied me twice really long emails too. LOL.

and 8 months later, I am proud to say they have further improved on their already 5-stars services. Especially on basic stuffs like making ppl queue at the same line for porridge and eggs station during breakfast? Imagine the long line of hungry guests crowding that corner?? So now they have re-structured their egg station.

Anyway back to the yummy hi-tea at Erawan Tea Room
We were really happy that it's the usual-wat-we-expected-of at this tea room
:))))))))))))))))

Fresh double cream, chunky strawberry jam and Thai fish sauce with coriander and chili flakes.
I lurve their tableware...so nice :))
even our hotel room have the similar plates :)))

so from the bottom u have the savoury local Thai snacks, followed by the must have Scones for any hi-tea with a mixture of Western and Thai. The top tier consist of the famous Sticky Rice with Thai Mango and fruits.

So so so happy and can't wait to chomp chomp nom nom...
This set is for one person :)))


the purple one is Steamed Flower Shaped Dumpling filled with crabmeat,
mini deconstructed Mieng Kam of roasted coconut, lime, chili and ginger with betel leaves in crispy basket.
Thai Style chicken curry puff - this one wasn't so exciting
Grilled marinated pork satay
Deep fried minced chicken with chili and mint leaves
and finally minced pork and peanuts on fresh pineapples


Deep fried fermented Isan Pork
while I was bz with my tea set....JS had his galore as well...
this one was really good. I highly recommend it...served with the usual Thai condiments of raw cabbage, spring onions, chopped lime, shallots, ginger and bird eye chillis and a Thai fish sauce dip.


so so yummy and good...very soon Monkey was busy stealing food from JS
JS: "Oiii this one is mine...go and eat yours."


tough decision, I have finished the savoury lower deck...
now to move on to scones or fruits???


it's not just the usual scones but buttery raisins scones!!! still pipping hot!!!
served with cream and strawberry jam from Chiang Mai - Northern Thailand

on this deck were:
Crispy rice pudding with toppings of taro, corn, spring onions and pumpkin famously known as "Kanom Krog"
sweet bean paste fruit shape - Luk Chup. Those small beautifully painted like mini fruits dessert
crispy sesame roll with the intensity of coconut milk
mini soft sinful chocolate cake and a mini passion fruit tart...
everything was bite-sized


JS also had pork satays with fluffy sticky thai rice
served with a special dip
wow there's a lot of MEAT there.

everyone here seemed to be ordering the hi-tea set...
seen on every single table!!!! hahahahaha


and finally Sticky Mango Rice and seasonal fruits skewer
aaAAAaaaaaa
after that I was really round and satisfied.


a really comfy Malaysian tourist who was snoring away after the hi-tea....
LOL!!!!!!!

yeah Malaysians can be quite rude and distasteful sometimes..
At KLIA, JS was just shaking his head...
"Wat's wrong?"
JS: "Look, can't they dress better to travel???"
and pointed to a bunch of Malaysian chinese...in baggy shorts and very-very-creased- t-shirts....but most of all in slippers...oh well not even Crocs mind u. They looked like they just woke up from bed and came to airport in the same attire that they wore to sleep.

"errrr maybe they are flying domestic?"
JS: "Yea we are now at the international side, how domestic can that be?"
"errrr maybe they are goin to some islands?"
JS just shrugged me off :P

yeah I sometimes do find our Msians travellers a bit of a hooligans. They do travel everywhere coz I hear them speaking Malaysian *if u know wat I mean?* but in terms of behavior it's really bad. If u think Singaporeans are Kiasu...try Msians...we are on the verge of joining the fellow PRC crowd..to speak as loud and behave as rude.

Anyway the high tea set cost about 350 Baht = RM 35
how price have increased over the years. No longer 250 nor 280
each set comes with tea/coffee of your choice...be it hot or cold.
