Been wanting to try the afternoon tea for the longest time after reading all the good reviews and attractive pictures.Arrived at 2:45pm and were immediately seated at the balcony upon purchase at the counter (and thus no 10% service charge). Food came after 3pm (official afternoon tea start time) in 2 batches.The 1st batch was the 4 sandwiches and scones. The sandwiches tasted alright with no surprises, while the scones weren't as good as the ones I had in London. For example, the cheese one
Arrived at 2:45pm and were immediately seated at the balcony upon purchase at the counter (and thus no 10% service charge). Food came after 3pm (official afternoon tea start time) in 2 batches.
The 1st batch was the 4 sandwiches and scones. The sandwiches tasted alright with no surprises, while the scones weren't as good as the ones I had in London. For example, the cheese one was too cheesy for me and the texture and aroma just weren't quite there (apology for not being able to articulate better).
The 2nd batch was the dessert, all of which tasted better than the savory ones. My personal favorites were the lemon tart and chocolate cake.
$315 for afternoon tea set in Central, you could definitely argue it was inexpensive compared to those in hotels. But beware, the portion is tiny! Each piece is about the width of and the height of a smartphone. The upside of this? No guilty feeling after full indulgence!
