Another Sunday, another afternoon tea, this time at the Mandarin Oriental. Having seen photos of how this hotel presents their afternoon tea, I really wanted to see it for myself.
They don’t use a three tiered presentation plates, instead the sandwiches and scones are served as separate courses and the sweet course is served on an Asian inspired, presentation shelf.
On the left, the meat platter; on the right, the specially made veggie platter.
For Skye, they made a veggie sandwich platter, then and there, no fuss, no meat or fish.
The food itself wasn’t that good, smaller than usual servings and a little dry. On the other hand, the tea selection was broad and they allow you to drink as much of any variety of tea you choose.
Plain & Earl Grey scones with marmalade, clotted cream and cherry jam.
The service was excellent and the décor as well as atmosphere was most luxurious.
