Afternoon tea // Food high, sugar high
DSC01858edit




After 3 years, we finally fulfilled our afternoon tea date! Decided to try the one at ANTI:DOTE, which is at Fairmont Hotel. (Selina and I got lost while trying to find our way there, lol!)

Each set comes with one of the $11-range teas, which you can ask for a refill once.

Selina and I both got the eternal summer tea! Quoted from TWG: "A fragrant South African red rooibos, embellished with notes of sweet summer rose blossoms accented with raw berries which finish with a lingering aftertaste reminiscent of ripe Tuscan peaches. A theine-free tea to be enjoyed hot or iced at any time of the day."

Also, each set comes with a starter! You can either go with dimsum, or truffle scrambled eggs.

I chose the dim sum! It was decent, nothing fanciful.

Misa chose the truffle scrambled eggs! And she said that it's mindblowing-ly good. You are supposed to dip the soldiers into the scrambled eggs which are held in the egg shell!

Lemon pound cake that came after our starters!

AND HERE'S THE 主角!! When this came, I no longer had the heart to take photos so please note that all following photos were hastily taken.

Here's the top layer! Which are the sweets

Here's the 2nd layer, which are the savoury stuff

There's 2 more layers which I somehow forgot to take photos of. Which I can understand, how could I still have the heart to take photos when all the food were screaming "eat me!" right in my face?!

Here's one of the ginger scones from the 3rd layer! There's a raisin scone as well.

The 4th layer holds some cookies and the clotted cream, lemon curd and jam for the scones.

And this, is my least favourite item. I find is really disgusting. The combination of a wet sponge underneath, and more wetness from the floating cream omg it's pure gross.

Or maybe because they used a squeeze dropper to hold the rum, and I can't help but associate squeeze droppers with other less appetizing things.

The lemon macaron which matches Selina's dress!

In all, the food was decent. And I'll definitely come back again because everything just looks so pretty!
