on sat, mummy, aunty jo and i headed to..... grand hyatt's high tea at the scotts lounge! =)=)
yes, 2 high teas in a week! i'm so getting obese =(
anyhow.. high tea was great!! the ambience, the food.. what more could i ask for?
*please pardon the not so nice pictures.. i used my hp camera as the camera at home wasn't charged and i couldn't find the charger =X)
my soft spot : desserts.
there were... macaroons, brownies (so good as usual), my favourite strawberry cheesecake(a must have), green tea with red bean cake etc.
every piece of dessert was an art, and made by some very well known chef/baker
there was this dessert called a flambé which was absolutely good i tell you. it was made on the spot, whereby crepe was soaped in some sauce then alcohol was poured in it(you could tell them how much alcohol you wanted in). when that was done, flames soared. an awesome sight=). then topped with a scoop of fresh vanilla ice-cream with orange fruit and peel. i had 2 servings of them!
there was this cold dish of prawns and squid with thai sauce. the prawns so simply so fresh and crunchy, mixed with the slightly spicy and sour thai sauce, delicious.
then there was beef, sushi, sandwhiches, carrot soup(just to name a few) which were really good as well! not forgetting the chocolate fondue with freshly sliced fruits, cookies and marshmellows to complement.
the good thing was, we get to sit there from 2-6pm(they'll start clearing at 5pm though) and eat slowly, chat, relax, people watch. moreover, they serve drinks(included in the high tea) like coffee, hot chocolate(my all time favourite), mocha, latte and so on, and many assorted flavours of tea. and people get food in a relaxed pace where food doesn't run out(as in the trays weren't at any point empty) as many other buffets experience.
service was great too, except that the waiters didn't clear our plates readily =X
anyhow... it was simply great =)
at night, dave and i went to catch 4bia. it contains 4 short stories and it was so scary i tell you(the only comforting thing is that the 3rd story was a little humourous)! and dave managed to keep his eyes on the screen for majority of the time, while i hid under his jacket =X
he says it's by far the scariest movie he's seen. so.... catch it if you dare!
on sunday, baby accompanied me to church then i had dinner with mummy, daddy and chow at new york new york in amk hub - i think we're like regulars there now =S
after which, baby came over to send chow n i back to hall, with the fish tank! =) hopefully the fishes doesn't die anytime soon, else i wouldn't know what to do with them =X
baby's going to KL this weekend with his friends, i'm so gonna miss him =(
rattles on..
