Very quickly, this was the WORST afternoon tea place we have been to yet. First, it was being renovated so there weren't that many seats and then there were a lot of "si lai" (noisy, asian middle-aged housewives) sitting at the next table and then a man on the table near us decides to give himself a manicure and clip his nails at the table (how are you supposed to have a nice relaxing conversation with people when you can't really hear your friend and you also have the sharp "click, click" of the nail clippers.
Ignoring all that for now and go to the food... the team came in one of those glass pots where you put the tea in the metal strainer. The strainer wasn't fine enough (or the tea was too fine) and so you have tea leaves floating in a very weak looking too (the water wasn't hot enough either).
The Tea Pot
So we ordered the afternoon tea set for two... it was very disappointing...
It "looked" ok but the sandwiches were dry, the cakes nothing special - as testament to that we didn't even finish most of it. I think the carrot cake was the only decent thing in the whole set (and i don't really like carrot cake). There was a ham and cheese quiche and that was just foul (no other word for it, it smelled funny and tasted bad).
Thinking we were going to be hungry we ordered their house salad... nothing special about that either. The pre-made salads from the supermarket tasted better than it.
Overall a very disappointing afternoon (and it considering it was our first in quite a few months, it was depressing)
