Cath Kidston Inspired Afternoon Tea at Feast, Hong Kong

If you're mad about Cath Kidston, this afternoon tea set might be for you. Everything's served in cute Cath Kidston florals :)

But we can't eat porcelain now, can we? How about the food?

Classic fruit scone with Devon Clotted Cream & Strawberry Jam? Not bad :)

Sweets:

Rose cream filled macaron: I like the fragrance.

Orange blossom chocolate bon bon: too sweet for me.

Earl grey cupcake: moist with nice frosting, but I could use more earl grey flavors :)

Savouries:

English honey glazed ham & mustard sandwich, tea smoked salmon, horseradish & cucumber sandwich, duck egg mayo & watercress sandwich, asparagus wrapped in gorgonzola & cured English ham, sun-blushed tomato palmiers, & quiche lorraine.

They're not too bad, but could be much better. My socks weren't exactly blown off.

So, if seeing cute Cath Kidston inspired things floats your boat, go for it.

Plus, you get Cath Kidston rose hand cream & discount voucher to buy Cath Kidston's latest goodies.

The set is available for HK&228 for two on weekdays, or HK$195 per person (buffet) on weekends from 3:00 - 5:30 pm until 18 May 2014.

Thanks to East & Petrie PR for the invite.

Jean-Paul Hevin - All Day Afternoon Tea for Dark Chocolate Lovers

I love dark chocolate (who doesn't?), and if you loved chocolate so much and you want to have a very chocolatey afternoon tea as breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then this is perfect for you :)

This is one of Jean-Paul Hevin's all-day afternoon tea sets. It has two chocolate cakes, two macarons, two chocolate bonbons and two chocolate coated almonds.

The chocolate cake in focus is voted the best chocolate cake in Japan!

I must admit that I've never loved macarons... to me, they are just way too sweet, until I tried Jean-Paul Hevin's macaron last year.

I love how they are not too sweet, and I love the dark chocolate ganache here.


One of the chocolate coated almond had a hint of Earl Grey Tea, which I love.

If you're looking for a nice quiet place to sit down with friends after (well, or before) a crazy shopping around Central, or a place to have dessert after an early bird dinner (just like me - a senior citizen who likes to dine latest by 6:30pm..), before clubbing, or if you just need a good dose of dark chocolate... (you don't need a reason to want chocolate, right?), then check the place out!

Christmas is around the corner, and I know what to get MIL (who's a dark chocolate maniac) for Christmas.

Oh hello, chocolate! Come to mama!

I want to keep the "rustic" wooden box.


And this will surely cure all kinds of Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday blues...
