Banyan Tree | UNFOLD: TEXTUREs on the Horizon – A Reinvention of Afternoon Tea
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur’s Horizon Grill and TEXTURE Pâtisserie is proud to present UNFOLD: TEXTUREs on the Horizon, a bold reimagining of the traditional afternoon tea experience.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration pairs the artistic vision of TEXTURE – a modern artisanal patisserie with the culinary finesse and sky-high elegance of Horizon Grill, inviting guests on a multi-sensory journey that transcends tiers and teapots.
Structured as a modern tasting menu and inspired by the architecture of unfolding a symphony of sensory layers, TEXTUREs on the Horizon is plated and served à la minute for optimum texture, temperature, and taste. Guests dine at their own pace in an experience that blends the relaxed luxury of afternoon tea with the narrative depth of a fine dining tasting menu.
“At TEXTURE, we see dessert as emotion — each creation a moment, a memory. With TEXTURE, we wanted to turn the act of tea into an artistic ritual. One that honours flavour, temperature, and story,” says Chef Chong Ko Wai, Founder and Creative Director of TEXTURE. “It’s not just about sweets — it’s about sequencing, surprise, and slowing down.”
Chef Francesco Fedrighi, Executive Sous Chef of Horizon Grill, “When I first encountered TEXTURE’s work, I saw the same values we hold in our kitchen — respect for ingredients, balance of form and flavour, and a relentless pursuit of elevation. TEXTUREs on the Horizon allowed us to break the mould together. Just creativity on a plate, course by course.”
At its heart, TEXTUREs on the Horizon is a celebration of Southeast Asian talent, culinary innovation, and the timeless elegance of hospitality. It bridges two distinct gastronomic philosophies — TEXTURE’s meticulous, emotionally driven patisserie and Horizon Grill’s sophisticated flair — into one shared vision: to reshape the afternoon tea ritual into something artful, evocative, and entirely new.
TEXTUREs on the Horizon is served daily between 3.00pm to 5.00pm at Horizon Grill, Level 58, from 1 May to 31 July 2025. Priced at MYR148 nett per person, inclusive of a curated selection of coffee or tea.
