When in Siem Reap, one should definitely head over to Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor for their afternoon tea set. Who doesn’t like to enjoy a quiet afternoon sipping some tea, nibbling some local snacks, while reading a book?
Over at this hotel, guests can choose between the classic afternoon tea set, or go for the Khmer afternoon tea set. As there were the two of us, we decided to try both sets!

The Khmer Afternoon Tea came with traditional Khmer pastries, such as the pumpkin cake and a layered rice flour cake. For savouries, spicy fried prawns and chicken satays are just two examples that will be given. Fruits are quite a part of Khmer tradition, and this is provided for in their afternoon tea set.
For the evergreen Classic Afternoon Tea, you cannot go wrong, as the standard fare of freshly baked scones are served. Madeleines are also part of the set, with butter, homemade jams, and fresh cream provided. Besides these, the savoury sandwiches are also light and tasty, while the sweets are an array of colourful pastries.
While we had it with coffee and tea, those feeling particularly thirsty can opt to have a glass of champagne to go with their classic afternoon tea set!
