Set against the sweeping Kuala Lumpur skyline from Park Lounge on the hotel\u2019s 75th floor, it offers a refined take on the classic afternoon tea experience with a strong focus on craftsmanship, flavour and of course, chocolate.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur teams up with Valrhona for Masters of Chocolate, a limited-time afternoon tea featuring savoury bites, artisan teas and a tableside dessert trolley.<\/h2>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  max-w-[560px] mx-auto\">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:800\/1000\"><img width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chef-Holger-Deh-with-Dessert-Trolley.jpeg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chef-Holger-Deh-with-Dessert-Trolley.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chef-Holger-Deh-with-Dessert-Trolley-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chef-Holger-Deh-with-Dessert-Trolley-768x960.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience begins much like Park Hyatt\u2019s signature afternoon tea. Seated within the elegant surrounds of Park Lounge, guests are invited to select from an artisanal tea menu featuring a variety of distinctive blends. Whether you prefer something floral, fruity or more robust, there is a tea to suit every palate and complement the courses to come.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon opens with a duck mousse cone finished with cacao nibs and raspberry, before moving into a trio of savoury creations. Highlights include a pineapple chicken brioche paired with mole sauce and sesame, a smoked salmon croffle with goat\u2019s cheese and grapefruit gel, and a delicate scallop dumpling served with a punchy garlic-forward sauce.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following was warm Penang vanilla and chocolate scones served with artisan jams and clotted cream, the centrepiece of the afternoon arrives in the form of the Valrhona Chocolate Dessert Trolley. Presented tableside, it brings a touch of theatre to the experience, allowing you to admire an impressive selection of handcrafted desserts before choosing their favourites.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"bz-embed\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DYljaS_mfe0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DYljaS_mfe0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur (@parkhyatt_kl)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each creation explores a different expression of Valrhona chocolate. Among the standouts are the Holger Deh 71% with sobacha and Penang vanilla, the Matcha Inspiration raspberry tart, and the Guanaja 70% calamansi olive oil vegan cake, which balances rich chocolate notes with bright citrus flavours. Elsewhere, ingredients such as pandan, coconut, banana, lime and roselle add layers of complexity, ensuring that each bite feels distinct from the last.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there\u2019s one thing worth booking this afternoon tea for, it\u2019s the dessert trolley. The selection is extensive without feeling overwhelming, and the ability to choose your own favourites makes the experience feel a little more personal than a traditional set menu.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valrhona Afternoon Tea Park Lounge<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Level 75 Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 June to 14 June<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12:00 PM to 5:00 PM<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MYR 218+ per person<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For reservations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablecheck.com\/en\/park-hyatt-kl-park-lounge\/reserve\/experience\/valrhona-afternoon-tea\">click here!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur teams up with Valrhona for Masters of Chocolate, a limited-time afternoon tea featuring savoury bites, artisan teas and a tableside dessert trolley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":3355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"bzd_title_left":"","bzd_title_right":"","footnotes":"","bz_kicker":"","bz_opener":"bleed","bz_photographer":"","bz_hero_caption":"","bz_hero_credit":"","bz_hero_clip":0,"bz_inset":0,"bz_tile_image":0,"bz_clip":0,"bz_tile_dek":"","bz_reading_time":"","bz_duration":"","bz_feature_small":0,"bz_feature_medium":0,"bz_feature_quote":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1329,1330,1331],"bz_slot":[],"class_list":["post-3353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-chocolate","tag-park-hyatt","tag-valrhona"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3353"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3353\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3586,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3353\/revisions\/3586"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3353"},{"taxonomy":"bz_slot","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview.itp.luxury\/baz-my-2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bz_slot?post=3353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
