Today is a public holiday in Myanmar so R and I decided to spend our afternoon at Acacia Tea salon. We have been to this place many times and I have to say that it is one of the best places to have afternoon tea in Yangon.
Entering the compound, it is as if you were brought back to the colonial times. The building exudes an understated elegance and it brings out the lush and well-manicured landscaping that surrounds it. There is also a one-storey greenhouse-like building that you can get pastry, cakes and bread for take out or dine in.
Stepping into the building is a continuation of the colonial theme, with warm lighting and classical looking furniture and high-ceilings.
There are many private rooms/areas, both indoor and outdoor with various capacities. As the weather was fine, we picked the veranda spot on the 1st floor that overlooks the garden.

We ordered a Carrot & Cream Cheese Cake (Ks 4,000) to go with our Iced Cafe Lattes (Ks 3,000). We think that Acacia's specialty is in teas as its name suggests but being coffee people ourselves, we went with the latter. The coffee was great as usual and so was the carrot cake. It was as tasty to see as it was to eat.

It may seem odd but one of our favorite snacks to order at Acacia is its Mini-Chicken Burger (Ks 1,000 per pc). The chicken patty is really succulent and just delightful with the cheese and onion. One is never enough for R and we had 3 altogether.

We highly recommend a visit to Acacia if you have yet to do so. At any time of the day too as it also serves high-tea sets, western lunch and dinner menus.
