Tea Garden, the revered Malaysian culinary brand, celebrated the grand opening of its latest gastronomic haven at Gateway@klia2 yesterday. Officiated by the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan, the latest Tea Garden outlet situated at the airport mall of KLIA Terminal 2 amplifies the significance of Tea Garden’s expansion at the gateway of Malaysia.
The ceremony unfolded in a tapestry of cultural richness, beginning with an enchanting Angklung performance. The traditional musical ensemble echoed through the halls of Gateway@klia2, setting the tone for a celebration that seamlessly blended the old-world charm with the contemporary culinary excellence of Tea Garden.
A pivotal moment ensued with the prestigious presentation of the Franchise Registration Certificate from MyFex 2.0, a government franchising initiative. Tea Garden’s chief executive officer, Tan Soo Hui announced the franchise certification achievement in her speech, symbolizing yet another milestone for the brand which can now be franchised out across the country, bringing the Tea Garden culinary experience to more people in Malaysia.
The highlight of the event, however, was the unveiling of Tea Garden’s achievements, etching its name into the prestigious Malaysia Book of Records, with two remarkable feats. Tea Garden earned recognition for the “Most Sold Baked Herbal Chickens in a Year” and the “Most Sold Hainanese Milk Tea in a Year,” solidifying its status as a culinary trailblazer and a global ambassador of Malaysian flavors.
Beyond the gastronomic celebrations, the grand opening ceremony became a cultural symphony. Local artisans engaged attendees in a vibrant showcase of traditional arts and crafts, creating an immersive experience that went beyond the palate. Decoupage and batik art sharing took center stage, providing attendees with insights into the intricate world of Malaysia’s artistic heritage.
“Tea Garden is not only committed to preserving Malaysia’s rich food culture, it also provides opportunities for local artisans to promote their traditional crafts, especially through Kraftangan Johor’s entrepreneurship program, promoting our local arts and crafts as this airport welcomes more visitors to our country, is a commendable effort,” expressed Khairul in his speech.
As the sun set on the grand opening ceremony, Tea Garden indulged its guests with a gastronomic journey through the brand’s signature dishes. From the aromatic Hainanese Chicken Rice to the flavorful Nasi Lemak, each dish served reflected Tea Garden’s commitment to preserving the authentic flavors that define Malaysian cuisine.
