Tea time @ Rose Veranda

A couple of weeks ago, celebrated mom's birthday @ The Rose Veranda - Shangri-La Hotel. Last time i went Shang was eons ago.. My JC's prom..lol

 @ the foot of the stairway..

Wasn't that keen on buffets but since it was foc (bro's foot the bill) , i joined in as the free-rider..:)


Best thing i enjoyed was the array of teas .. there were a total of 128 varieties!

Tried Valentine's breakfast tea & white house. both were lovely. The description of the tea blend made them sounds so exquisite. Preferred the white house out of the two brew i ordered.. But presonal fave tea is still TWG's grand wedding..:)

i like the rose theme tea pots and cups.. it's so english!
 

 

 sweets for my sweets.. sugar for my tea..(but i'd the tea sans sugar)

 my placemat & napkin, <3 the embriodered rose

my second pot of tea....

 which was white house tea. I'd two pots of this...

 bright red chandelier! :) i want this for my place!!

 Food...The desserts stood out from the mains.. (though there weren't much choices..) like the mango minetrone best .;)

 i'd 8-9 slices of salmon sashimi.. - i gathered this would not be that sinful.. :) hence qualified to indulge in.. sadly, sashimi choice was solely salmon..

strawberry marcoon.. nice to look at.. but.. uhm..taste bud dun fancy it.. the dark choc moouse in the background was yummy...

 tiramisu was good.. my fave mango minestrone.. creme brule - bleh.. matcha coated white choc with matcha praline..- uber sweet :(

 strawberry sorbet with raspberry sauce.. - refreshing & slightly tangy.. :) pefect thrist/ heat quencher..

 second helping of my fave.. it's actually conocotion of mango cubes & chopped fresh mint infused with syrup..

 

and that marked the end of tai-tai dom for the day.. i don't think i can survive as a tai-tai.. occasional indulgence of dessert is fine.. but not a daily or even weekly event.. And that pretty summed up what i ate for a buffet.. not buffet-worthy rite? whatever..:) but it was an enjoyable lazy afternoon.. :)
