:: Victoria Rossa English Tea Room ::

I always love English Afternoon Tea and this place I'm going to share here is listed as one of my favourite spots now. Today is not my first time, and definitely not my last time too. I will sure visit this place very often. Perhaps I will blog on the next time on other type of food or on any updates or new menu of this place. 

An Overview of Victoria Rossa English Tea Room

I love the deco of this place. It's such English style, and it feels like when you are dining here or having a cup of tea, you are dining like the Queen. :) 

The Front Area

Their pastries here like scones, butter cake, orange cake or Hershey's chocolate cake, are really good. I love their scones and orange cake. Yumms... 

Raisin Scone (RM 6)

Of course, cannot resist their flower tea too. Today I had a pot of Victorian's Blend - Tea of Julia (Chamomile with lemongrass). Very mild tea, a good choice for the day. Oh, you need to steep for 8 minutes. (Exactly, wait for the hour glass)

Victorian's Blend - Tea of Julia (RM 12/ pot)

My favourite main at Victoria Rossa is their Shepherd's Pie. Love it. Spiciness from the amountful of blackpepper. =D 

Old Style Shepherd's Pie (RM 19.90)

Their Old English Grilled Chicken wasn't my liking. Too much of thyme herbs. Tasted the herbs, and not the chicken. 

Old English Grilled Chicken (RM 26) 

They do serve special set for Lunch. For the environment, so the pricing considered quite okay.

Special Lunch Menu

Overall, this place is a very beautifully decorated restaurant, with the English twist. It's a perfect place for a peaceful afternoon tea, and also for a good girls' night out. 
They also caters for party as well.

:: Delight Delicatessen ::

A new place in town - about a month old, this newbie in town serves Flame Broiled Mera Mera Chicken. If you are into Nando's Peri Peri Chicken, you can try out this place, as their secret recipe Mera Mera sauce, with a little localised flavour, could you give a big SURPRISE! 

Considered a big portion for their serving and lip-smacking taste, it's definitely worth your first time, your money and a guaranteed satisfaction. 

 They only serves 2 types of main course - Mera Mera Chicken and Spaghetti Bolognese. 
But don't worry, the Mera Mera Chicken is good enough. :) 

Mera Mera Chicken (Whole Leg Chicken + 2 sides)

Ala-Carte: RM 13.80

Delight Set: RM 19.80

(Delight Set comes with Main course & 2 sides, Homemade Mushroom Soup, 

Drinks and Free Flow Ice Cream)

Delight Mera Mera Sauces (comes in 3 levels: Mild Mera, Pungent Mera, Super Pungent Mera)

Salmon Balls (RM 6.80)

These balls are not ordinary Fish Balls. There are really Salmon Chunks in there! 

The delight set comes with their homemade mushroom soup. Well, it's a thumbs up for the soup. "Forget the canned stuff, this is a LOT better" for the tagline, and they really MEAN it. :)

:: Beach Blanket Babylon :::

This cozy & romantic by-the-sea restaurant is within the premises of 32 Mansion, serving mainly western. With such a view, the environment point easily scored more than 80%. Just 2 concern if you are dining at night - i) chances of providing a charity "blood donation" to the flying friends, M; ii) it can be very warm during hot summer days.
