In a nod to my British ancestors, I had
high tea the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon with my friends Meg and Bec.
I had heard mixed reviews about this activity but I thoroughly
enjoyed the whole experience. High tea is served in the lobby of this
very historic hotel that just exudes classiness. The atmosphere was
enhanced by a quartet performing Disney and Beatles songs on a
balcony in the corner of the lobby. All three of us unconsciously sat
straighter in our chairs and did our best to be ladylike in order to
fit in with our surroundings.

The whole tea was served with real
silver cutlery and real china dishes. We got the classic afternoon
tea for two which had delicacies such as scones, clotted cream, mini
quiche, crust-less cucumber sandwiches, and scrumptious mini
desserts. Even though the three of us were sharing a tea meant for
two we were barely able to finish off all of the food because it was
so rich and filling.
If I ever become a Tai Tai wife I can certainly
see myself indulging in this British tradition more often, I felt so
elegant and refined having high tea at the Peninsula with some of my
closest friends. Definitely a meal to remember.
