"This tea room in Alameda takes the British afternoon tradition and infuses it with Malaysian flavors, spreading rendang curry and kaya jam on sandwiches, and folding pandan into chiffon cakes. It’s open for sit-down dining at 11 a.m., 1:15 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. There’s a take-home tea box to order, too." - Dianne de Guzman
