I was fortunate to enjoy the tea service as the plus one of my friend Areta\u00a0(@foodgressing<\/a>). It was\u00a0quite the experience with b<\/span>lack and white flicks being projected on a big screen on the wall in the centre, but the delightful food and drink items were the true shining stars.<\/p>\n

The Red Carpet<\/h3>\n

The first edible dish to make the appearance was the Raspberry & Cranberry\u00a0Cremeaux<\/strong>. The combination of berry refreshingness and luscious cream made a great palate cleanser for the upcoming courses.<\/p>\n

Serving English scones is the afternoon tea classic. Today we received the\u00a0Cranberry<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Giandujia Chocolate<\/strong>, with clotted cream and citrus butter on the side.\u00a0 The scones were moist and delicious but I was even more impressed with the flavourful cream and butter.<\/p>\n
