annant whis­pers: as u can see, new lay­out! css is fun! ;)

English Tea House

so we were there for high tea after vis­it­ing Agnes Keith’s House :D

Revis­ited idyl­lic days spent in lush gar­dens amidst the pro­found tran­quil­ity of trop­i­cal San­dakan. The Eng­lish Tea House is superbly sit­u­ated within the grounds of the his­toric Agnes Keith House Museum and is housed in a metic­u­lously ren­o­vated colo­nial house sur­rounded by 1.5 acres of per­fectly man­i­cured lawns.

    Hi Annant, lovely post and I am sure I will visit San­dakan now. Not many places can pull off an Eng­lish Tea House. Thanks for the great info!

    Hi,

    I won­der whether the tea house own­ers are behind times! Surely the menu should reflect that
    San­dakan is in Sabah, Malaysia before adding Bor­neo (makes me think of head­hunters and
    peo­ple still liv­ing up on trees,lol).

    A true Sandakanite

    • annant says:

      u are from san­dakan? i super lurve da ambiance there…
      i pre­tend im a rich tai tai sip­ping tea…this is life haha

  • Cath says:

    Glad u like the place, maybe it’s because of the green­ery and leisurely way of life in San­dakan. Yeah, that’s the way to enjoy life!

    • annant says:

      i miss sabah a lot actually…da seafood. da peo­ple. da astaga! (haha). da beach. every­thing…
      will step foot in sabah again next year ;)
