I love hi tea. Who doesn’t, right? All the better that the presentation is as elegant as this, and the sofas are nice and comfy to lounge a Sunday afternoon away with girlfriends.

| Pretty in a Box |
The 3-tiered exquisite box that the nibbles were served in made everything look extra special. As my kids would say, it’s all in the presentation, mum. Perhaps I should start serving their meals from a drawer.

| Dim Sum appetiser |
The items in the white box comes as a standard set, and the only variant is the appetiser. The Oriental Tea Set pairs with the dim sum, which was pretty average, although Kate tucked into it with gusto.

I went with the Anti:dote Tea Set, which featured a very unique black truffle scrambled egg served in it’s shell. Definitely the highlight of the meal.
Kate has been really lucky to be able to tag along with me occasionally. There was a time when I had kids oozing out of my ears and I refused to take any of them out when I had my ‘me time’. Good thing she’s such a dear and rather easy to handle.
When I asked her earlier if she wanted to follow me for tea, she replied, “I can’t drink tea.” After explaining to her that having tea meant eating yummy food during tea time, not drinking tea, she quickly got changed.

The next day, Kate chirped, “I like to go with you and all the aunties to eat tea. Are we going again tomorrow?”
Sane tip: Such relaxing Sundays keep me zen and ready to tackle the week. Don’t forget to book in advance.
Save tip: $45++ per person. American Express Platinum has an embedded Far Card discount of 20%. They even do children’s tea sets at $15++. Wonder if it comes in a mini treasure box.
