It's
one store you can't help but notice at Level 1 Park Mall KLCC Suria Mall. It's between between British India
and Godiva very near to the escalator. It
has this huge and super huggable teddy at the entrance. As lavish, as fascinating, and as royal its
roots this store is also about. It's
Harrods World Signature Shop and Tea Salon.
Their shop is overwhelming with stuff.
They have cookies, teas (leaves and
bag), chocolates, bags, purses, British Monarchy souvenir items, key chains,
baby clothing, aprons, and more. I am a
fond of knickknack, tin can, cute stuff, and anything that my eyes are held
captive. If of course I can afford it
hehehe and If I can't, window shopping will do -- not just once but more than
you can think of hehe. For me, this
store is like a treasure box that I want to keep coming back. Take note, it's a want :). And because I want to have one, I got myself
this very useful, all around bag in one of their previous sales years ago.
A Tea Salon or café
that makes me drool.
Inside the shop is a counter for their coffee, tea, sweets and
pastries. Passed the signature shop is
the salon. We were greeted by a
courteous staff upon entry and I was wowed by the simple yet elegantly
furnished small venue. It was cozy,
clean, and aha! can be used as a secret rendezvous. Kidding aside, it was dinner time and I'm glad that
the 1st floor café
was closed for an exclusive function because I prefer the original Tea Salon
for my 1st ever food trip experience at Harrods. I sat facing the furthest wall. On my left is a view of Suria's dancing water
fountain and on my right, 3 steps away is a wall of picture frames of old
Harrods in London
Our
picks:
1Seafood
Pasta Olio-olio - Among the 3 meals, I love my Seafood pasta the most. The taste was just perfect for me. It was not salty nor bland and it got a
kick. It's an ultimate Seafood pasta
because the shrimps, squid and the scallops were of good sizes and there were
enough pieces too. It's not like the
previously tried Seafood pasta where I have to locate the whereabouts of the
seafood. How disappointing. But at Harrods I was so happy with my
SSSSP.
2Traditional
Fish and Chips - As the name itself traditional but it was the most
expensive. Until now I can't help wonder
why it was so expensive hehehe. Okay,
let me assess. The chips were big in
slices, fish was succulent, the coating was crunchy, it was not oily and it got
a seal of good taste from my son. Oh!
I'm positive with my words. It must be
the fish? Is cod really that pricey?
Anyways, as long as Z loves it then it must be good. Still, I can't get over with the price. hehehe.
3Salt
Beef Sandwich - If you are not a mustard lover like we do, I think you can just
ask the waiter to serve it on separate. Jack finds it dry, with less beef and only
strong mustard. His verdict for the
sandwich is only 2 stars. It didn't
match up with his expectation. He had a
previous experience with Salt Beef or Corned Beef Sandwich so he has a basis
for comparison hehehe. Tsk! Too bad.
4Ice
Cream single in Vanilla - I was so
envious while Z was happily digging into his vanilla ice cream. It was topped with a strawberry and I don't
know the name but it looks like a thin sugar brittle. Below the ice cream were like crumbs of nuts
or something like that hehe.
Red
wine not in picture. They don't serve
house water but they have mineral bottled water. All meals were big in portion. It's meant for sharing. Yes, we didn't finish what we have ordered
and we're not shy to ask for a doggie bag.
We paid anyway and why would I allow the half eaten portion wasted? The joy of dinner was still continued at next
day's lunch. Isn't it awesome?
An ambiance I can loaf for hours.
Yes, Harrods is pricey whether it's a
thing or food. It's not like any fast
food chain that you can immediately say, "Okay, let us eat at
Harrods." But for people with deep
pockets, it's nothing. Despite it, YES,
I will never get tired of visiting Harrods.
And the next time I'll sit down, it will be for a Tea Time or sweets
overload. Pay day is nearing, yahooo!
I love the experience, I appreciate
the good customer service, I like the utensils used, I like the ambiance, and I
love the English feel. I love monarchy.
:).
Hail to the Queen. Congratulations to Prince William and
Princess Kate. Welcome to the world
Prince Cambridge! May you'll be blessed
and protected by your granny Princess Diana.
Feeling close to the Royals?! Let
it be! :).
Good night everyone and off to our
dreams. Don't forget to pray!
