Afternoon tea @ Cafe Hyatt

After having tried their lunch and dinner buffet, the TBS members decided to give their afternoon tea buffet a try. It's more of a semi-buffet style with free-flow sparkling wine, tea and coffee. Finger sandwiches were ala table-serving and sweet varieties were buffet style. Didnt get to try all of them though as we were all stuffed to the brim by the end of the session. To cut things short before I go on and on and on about the food, let's cleanse our eyes with photos!!! XD

Array of finger sandwiches

Left to right: lemon meringue, some-berries cheesecake; strawberry start; profiteroles; mango cheesecake; pavlova; fruits

TBS fav station! Scones, waffles, ice creams, sticky date pudding, vol au vents with mushroom & cream, puffs, filo sheets with savoury fillings, mini savoury muffins

Introducing the TBS members (clockwise): Miss S, Miss P, FDQ, Chow chow

cute lil preserves served on each tables.

Overall, foods were impressive. Few hits and misses (oh....i LURVEEEE this phrase). Carrot & cucumber sandwich needs more butter as it was a tad dry to my liking. Did i mention beforehand i love my butter? *hug butter possesively* Oh and the scones, goooooooooooood although will be better if it was warmer. Avo & prawn and egg & julienne carrot sandwiches were top notch. The TBS likey!!

And before i forget, there's stg worth mentioning about vol au vents. Although FDQ finds their VAV brilliant, she was told Chow Chow makes wayyyy better VAV. CC, now u owe me a tray of VAV, i dont care!!! The cute lil' filo pastries were delicious as well. CC helped herself with 53860385 helpings (well, i lost count.. =P ).

Cakes....well well, where should I start with? Let's just say their cakes were norm. Nothing to shout about. In fact I find most (99%) of the cakes were from their lunch buffet session. Okay, did i miss out anything here? Ahh, the ice creams...they go best with the hot waffles. Speaking of waffles, Miss P reckons the waffle we had was a bit gosong(?) a.k.a. burnt but no complaints from me tho cuz' I like it that way. Haha.

Forgot to ask the rest of the TBS members for their ratings but I personally would give:

Food - 7/10 (butter please!)

Ambience - 8/10

Service - 9/10 (way better than their lunch and dinner sessions)

Let's end this post with a photo of Miss S's poor leg. She gets to be served like a princess throughout the whole session due to her...hmm..walking difficulty.

Signing off with much love,

FDQ *runs to hug her butter*
