Shangri-La Champagne High Tea
HAHA last to post! One uber sunny weekend saw Lorraine, Karen, Reem and i sitting down to a lovely high tea at Shangri La Lobby Lounge
Karen had planned ahead and when making the booking had asked for a table by the window hehe foodbloggers like the light! Lorraine has brought her We Love Sydney Cards which gives us the 2 for 1 Champagne High Tea ($45/2people)
A platter of sandwiches was placed before us and we immediately note the discrepancy of salmon stuffage in the sandwiches hmm maybe they ran out? According to Lorraine the sandwich fillings were: Smoked Salmon; Cucumber on malted bread; York Ham with mustard mayonnaise and Cheddar and vine tomato
We took our time nibbling away at the sandwiches and catching up on some gossip until we realised 1 and a half hours had passed and no sign of desserts! Flagging down a waitress she paused before saying the dessert buffet was over on the other side of the room… *&#$%@^! you would think they would have mentioned this earlier huh!
Making our way to the dessert we see the ever present chocolate fountain… look at how it GLISTENS
Only to be confronted with a giant plasma smack bang in the middle! Presentation was such a FAIL!
I spy the last of the macarons and swipe the remainders heh look at my crazy eyes…
Being late to the dessert party meant pics of the display was hardly worth taking. So we made our own dessert table!
The scones were a little sad- hard, doughy and flat they tasted uncooked. Ditto with the madeline hmph but the mousse cake was deliciously airy and light
BABIES!!! Colourful babies! ahhh these macarons were fabulous bite sized morsels and sadly not enough of them provided! Ended up splitting them with Karen and we both agreed that the pink one was the best tasting eerily like a monte carlo! The meringue was cute and not too sweet and the lemon curd tart had a sad soggy pastry case and for some reason tasted salty…
Assortment of cakeage. Loved the cinnamon cake which looked dry but was in fact super moist and tasty. The chocolate brownie was average and the cannoli filled with sweet sweet custard but by far my absolute favourite was the chocolate glazed, gold leaf topped caramel slice which was sooo rich and sweet it tasted like a slab of dulce de leche! om nom nom
Carnage. Destruction. We did well. *nods
Girlies! I had a great time dudes lets do it again!
