Enticed by rave reviews and its attractive website my companions and I decided to head to landmark for high tea. Taking on board the useful advice we arrived 15 minutes earlier than the 3pm tea set serving time. Mark my words it was good advice, not long after we were seated a queue started forming. As for the place itself, a little bit different from what I expected, it felt strange as we were sitting on the outskirts of the patisserie facing the mall, luckily enough it was a quiet corner.We ch
We chose the High Tea Set for 2 plus a few extras. The presentation was pleasing, and received lots of appreciative comments from my companions.
SandwichesProvided with four different types of sandwich, I was most impressed with the Norwegian smoked salmon and caviar sandwich. The salmon was of high quality, and the sandwich base was very unusual with two layers, a thin sandwich layer and a biscuit like layer. The differing textures made the experience all the more memorable. My only complaint..... it needed to be bigger The premium ham is worth a mention too, slightly creamy and full of flavour, you definitely can taste the quality.

The scones were the most disappointing part of the whole high tea experience, two words spring to mind, too 'dry' and 'crumbly'. As for the flavour it was neither here or there. The worse scone was the cheese scone although not mentioned on the menu, as soon as you put the scone in your mouth the flavour hits you, and leaves a very cheesy aftertaste. Unless you like strong cheese this scone is not for you.
The best part of the scone experience was the home made strawberry jam.... yum.

The pastries were like art work with lots of attention to detail. These pastries are veering more towards the sweet side, so the miniature size is perfect. The pastries were made of high quality ingredients, no cheap chocolate here Although not a huge fan of macaroons, the macaroon ganache ended up as my favourite, the macaroons together with the crunchy base held together with a hazelnut cream overpowered the rest with the petit fours coming in at a close second.

The tuna pocket was nice but nothing special, the pocket itself was pretty thin and crispy. As for the La Rosa I think it is definitely an acquired taste. La Rosa has three layers, the outer sugar coating, then a layer of raspberry mousse, and then a centre of a rose flavoured frozen cream with a hint of white chocolate. It also has lychee bits in too. I enjoyed the raspberry mousse layer the most, but the whole thing in its entirety was not displeasing. One of my companions was raving about the lychee bits! As for the iced peach and passion fruit tea, at first it tasted watery, but after mixing the sorbet in, it made a lot of difference, so if you try this....remember to stir it
A little bit on the dear side for an everyday treat, but worth a visit to treat yourself now and then.
