High Tea at Sky 100!!!

Huhuhu~~~
All of a sudden, my colleges whats app me to go for a high tea in sky 100~
One second, decided, of course!!! YES!!!! >W<

I  hvn't been asked to go for a high tea for such a looooong time!!!! >///////< Reason being, everyone's saving money for one reason or other..... er...... including me, but still, once in a month I find reasonable =P



Getting there was pretty easy,  taking the MTR is the most straight forward way~ Just......if u don't know ur way in elements, it can become quite annoying in finding the elevator. If u are really lost, just ask where is LV,  the elevator is very close to it. (I doubt many ppl can tell u directly the way to the elevator)

so, got up there~ 1st impression.............................................

Why am I facing a wall?
Where is  my enormously big 180 degree sea view!?!!
HUH!!?!! Where!!!!?

OK........ No sea view, er... not completely hvn't, just most seats hv it, some don't (like ours!!!)

Anyway, lets see so pics first~~ XDDDDD





I was a little late...... So by the time I sat down they were ordering tea~~

My tea option was Earl Grey, BUT, it came like this...........=0="

What  a massive tea pot!!! And a Big jar of milk!! =0="" Nothing graceful at all?? (I'm the kind who believe high tea should be grand, should be graceful!!) And........ when I got some into my cup.........

Doesn't this look a little too pale? It supposed to be black tea right?



OK.......the tea was for two to share, but the milk was for many to share!!!
I guess we'd hv to accept that "=3= so cheers~


Close up of our chocolate library~~



OK~~ Let's go through this one by one~~
I dunno hv I got all names of the cakes right, but the description is definitely correct~~XDDDDD


★★ Celery & apple marinated salmon with squid ink bread. ★★
>W< I love smoke salmon, but couldn't taste any of the celery & apple, and I don't think the squid ink supposed to taste of anything. Just consider the smoke salmon alone was a pretty good start.


★★ Pickle cucumber & cream cheese finger sandwich ★★
Sandwich, normal level.....no bad, not brilliant..... Keeping the fresh start~

The bun at the back!!!  GREAT!!!
★★ Foie gras mousse with sweet bun ★★
I think its becoz I'm super into foie gras, I loved this one! =P The flavour was strong, very creamy, very smooth, and yet not "greasy". Amount of the mousse was plenty, so u don't hv to worry that u'll eat all the mousse and left with 2 bites of bun in ur hand. I dislike eating bun alone T^T


★★ Chestnut mousseline shot ★★
At first, I was pretty looking forward to it, cos I like mousses~~ Then, first bite, coffee cookie at the top, er........ strong coffee taste, but also quite sweet...... ="= Its feels a little odd to hv both flavour at the same time. I then took the cookie with the mousse...... er...... tasted like sugar.... and cream I guess......... and............. that's it, little bit of the chessnut flavour, but..... er........ too "oily"........ =__________="

★★ Chestnut cream, breton ★★ 
The little chestnut cake at the right, the whole thing was quite well coordinated~~~~ The chestnut mixture at the top stands out by itself, at the same time the cream beneath reduce its sweetness. Normally chestnut cake hv loads of that stuff at the top right? I found that toooooo sweet, but this was just right >W< The cookie at  the bottom adds a bit of texture to the cake, so doesn't feel like ur eating a spoon full of cream! Like!!


★★ Choco chestnut tart ★★ 
Er....................Super dry chocolate cake ="= I took one bite, then left it aside....... didn't taste of anything...... = =|||



★★ Pecan chestnut chocolate cake ★★ 
Urgh...... don't even want to talk about it........ pecan and chestnut at top was a bad start, hard to bit into, dry, and that sweet flavour, OH hell, don't know how to describe, forgive me ...... One of my  college said it was nice, but I don't agree..... ppl who likes pecan and chestnut can give it a try, u might like it.

★★ Chestnut chcoclate roll ★★
 When I bit into it, I though...... huh?! hard? why?! Then realised it was a cake, and not what I think --- mousse. Little disappointment, but it was OK, normal standard. One thing I though was good is that little piece of chocolate at the top was real chocolate, not choco tasted sugar.



★★ Chestnut Drop ★★ 
On the left..... OK...... don't like it......... too hard, too sweet..... I don't think that biscuit underneath goes well with the chestnut, also I could hardly taste the chocolate.......

★★ Chestnut confit cake ★★
Er........... sweet, soft, will be quite nice with just that and a cup of tea..... But for the tea set, the cake was a little too much. This was the last cake I had, I took one bite and couldn't finish it. The whole chocolate library was actually quite heavy.......... we sat that till almost 7 pm, starting from 2:30 pm...... All this time I couldn't finish this tea =0="

BTW, funny enough,  we saw this at the back of our sofas...... XDDDDD This was offered for free, the little girls loved it~~~ Coming again and again for it~~~ We also took a bit, ordinary sweets~~~ =P



Finally, Dress code~~~ =P



Since hving tea with college, tried to keep a low profile.......... but even this was still very "anime" to them = =||| I may really hv to go out in T-shirt and Jeans next time? =0=

BTW........ This is the view of the Ladies bathroom!!!





Thinking Wow already right?

No, I then called my fd to show me round~~~ This was the correct tea room =^= Guys, u want good english high tea, make sure u don't book the area with chocolate library.

This is the good high tea area~~



You'll be facing this when u hv ur tea!!!!



Isn't this just soooooooo much better?!!!! I paid $ 300 HKD ish for this!!!! Not that chocolate library and a comfy sofa........... Next time, I'm soooo gonna book this side~!!

And............. I also went up to 118/F, to hv a look at the bar~~ but tooooo many ppl, may feel a little rude to take pic~~ So, although a little misty, enjoy the views guys!>W<
