Dear’s Birthday =)

Made a reservation with L’espresso at Goodwood Park Hotel for some English hi tea.

During our last Royal Copenhagen hi tea session, we were in fact choosing between Royal Copenhagen and L’esresso.

So here we were.

What can I say about hotel services except pure professionalism?

When I called to make the reservation, they actually informed me the cost per pax even before I confirmed my reservation.

And then they called me the day before to confirm my reservation again.

The minute we sat down, the staff came to us and passed us the menu to choose from a selection of teas.

And they did refills quite frequently.

But no matter how many times they refilled our pot of tea, the tea still remained concentrated =)

The food and pastries and desserts..

The burst of flavours, the colors, the presentation and the sizes in miniature..

How we wished we got a dozen of stomachs to savour them.

We are such let downs where buffets are concerned.

L'espresso seems to get almost 100% positive reviews on hungrygowhere.com.

The food is really good.

Looking back on the pictures really did make me drool all over once again.

These were what I managed to capture from our barely-make-it 5 plates serving.

Loved the mango prawn croissant..

Not forgetting the burst of flavours and textures as I placed the small little crispy cup basket into my mouth.

The turkey ham slices were very well seasoned and the mildly spicy crab meat sandwich was really tingling the taste buds.

And of course the tortilla wrap with pepper chicken was dangerously tempting me to have a second and third one..

There is this salmon mille feuille with caviar that actually tasted quite good.

And there were the all time favourite fried potato and tempura.

The bread and butter pudding was very light, nothing too heavy.

The creme brulee was haven..!!

I took one at first and dear took two mouthfuls.

Then off he went to get one for himself.

Hurhur..

The nutty pie, the walnut raisins cake definitely had a generous portion of macadamia nuts, almonds, walnuts and raisins.

Absolutely no trace of scrimping on ingredients.

The scone was the other pastry bursting with raisins.

Our stomachs were soooo on the verge of exploding that we missed the chocolate fondue as well as the other displays of mini cakes to our left, hidden by a pillar =(

This one meal was enough to last us through the whole day.

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner =x

The session was not cheap.

But

It was once in a blue moon..

How often can we have such a unanimous indulgence..

High tea on a fine working afternoon =p

So high on sugar, high on decadence.

Hope thee enjoyed thyself =)
