After a day of shopping at BSC, a fitting spot to take a rest and refuel is The Pressroom. The breezy open setting yawning out to a verdant oasis is perfect to regain your breathe and recharge your tummy. Ideally choose a table adjacent to the garden to make the most of the green views and al fresco feel. This peaceful, familiar setting is clearly a place with a loyal following of returning customers. As we sat and enjoyed the surrounds a number of families streamed in, warmly greeted by name and children excitedly showering staff with hugs.
Afternoon Tea was what we came for and we enjoyed a set for two costing 68RM including: in-house made scones with French jam and clotted cream; an assortment of sweets - noteworthy lemon tarts; a number of finger sandwiches - egg, salmon, cucumber; and a selection of premium loose leaf teas. Coming from a line of country scone bakers with recipes being passed down through generations and having the champion community scone maker as my mother, I feel quite qualified to judge the worthiness of a scone. Best had straight from the oven, steaming hot so the butter melts off your knife, I'm yet to find a restaurant that is able to rival my mum in the scone making field. Putting my clear bias and high expectations aside, in terms of what is out there commercially the pastry chef at The Pressroom has done an admirable job. These scones are light, feathery and well risen. The jam and cream are adept complements to the moisture level and subtle sweetness of the dough. With my mum being so far away, The Pressroom offers an adequate substitute for which I'd return.
