Barbie likes high tea.

If you are a girl, please answer me.

Don't you find it such a pleasure to just sit down at somewhere cozy and nice with one (or more) close friend(s), and sip on coffee or tea, nibble on something sweet, and just chat and laugh away?



If you are a boy, please answer me.

Do you find the same scenario that I have listed above, a big waste of time? And you hate sweet treats anyway?



Why is it that boys don't understand girls' innate love for long girlie tea/brunch sessions?? I can't remember the last time I had high tea with the boyfriend; and according to Jing, the moment she and her boyfriend finished eating, he will start beckoning to the waiter for the bill. -_-



In fact, I think all my relationships with girls are started/maintained through chatting sessions + food! And shopping of course WTF. I make sure that I make time to go have tea with Jing everytime I am back; and I can't begin to recount the number of times the Flat Hair Flat have breakfast/tea/late night coffee (Grecko's and Brunetti's, remember? :P) in Aussie, haha.


High tea with Jing at Shangrila. I read about the high tea in Debra's blog, and I was like, aha! Just what I need-- a little indulgence amidst a week of studying and worrying about my skin.



The high tea is at the lobby lounge, which I was delighted to find that it was filled with cozy, plush couches and sofas, and oversize cushions. :)




Jing, the only person I know who is willing to fork out RM50 for a high tea. :P




Excited about the crystallised sugar sticks (to be stirred into my coffee)! I stole one home, by the way, haha.


Oh shit! I just remember I left it in my Marc Jacobs bag at home!!! Hope it isn't swarmed by ants by the time I go home. T________________T



Our high tea set!


Mmm. :) We were pleased to find that a high tea set cost RM48++-- and it's enough to be shared by two! Originally we thought it will cost RM50 per pax. :/




Scones-- plain and fruit ones. I thought they were so-so (best scones are still from Miss Marples in Melbourne), but Jing loved them though (she had three by the way WTF).




Finger sandwiches! I thought it was a little weird that they were wrapped with spring onion. -_- My favorite was the smoked salmon one (obviously); surprisingly the cucumber sandwich topped high in my list as well. :)




Sweet, tempting desserts (rightfully) perched on the top platter!


Cheesecake, fruit tart, tiramisu, and chocolate eclair. The only flaw was there is only one of each (because one set is meant for one person). I couldn't help it, but I thought the desserts paled in comparison to the Windsor Hotel high tea in Melbourne. Oh my, I just realised I have never blogged about Windsor high tea although I have been there twice!! What is the Windsor high tea, you ask? Only the most expensive high tea I have ever been (45AUD) wtf, and my dad will surely kill me if he knows I went. -___-




Came with a bread and butter pudding! I love bread and butter pudding, but unfortunately Jing and I yakked so much that when we actually got to the pudding, it was cold already. :(






Battle of self-camwhoring: Jing the Blur as Ghost vs Wen the Crazy Eyes wtf.




It was really nice to just let loose, and forget about studying, about exams, about work, about my skin condition, and just talk nonsense with my sister. I know Jing needed the break as well-- sheis going crazy over med school finals.




Stuffed and happy.




Side profile wtf.




Teeny, we are waiting for you!!! We think ordering 2 high tea sets would be just nice for the three of us, hehe! :D

I want this Tarina Tarantino necklace SO SO BADLY (you guys can try and guess which one I want :P), and just when I managed to persuade Jing to get it for me as my (belated) birthday present, I found out it's sold out!! LIFE SUCKS! *cranky*
