High Tea- Just Kathy and Me

I experienced my first High Tea this afternoon with my good friend, Kathy. We met Kathy and her husband, Mike, when we first moved to Singapore though Adam's work. He and Mike work in a similar field and we struck up a friendship almost immediately. They are genuinely great people and have generously watched Bella for us many times. She loves them and they have a pretty good time with her too. =)

Kathy invited me for a girly afternoon before Adam and I head home to get hitched.

We started with pedicures, a first for Kathy, and ended with a high tea, a first for me.

A chic pool view, comfy chairs and pianist set the scene for Tea at the Goodwood Park Hotel's L'Espresso. A buffet of savory and sweet treats offered something to satisfy any palate. The savory treats turned out to be my favorite as each bite offered a unique combination of flavors. My egg finger sandwich was packed a big truffle flavor and a salami sandwich was complimented with a brie center. Yum-0! There was even a little caviar.

After letting our stomachs take a short break we headed back to conquer the deserts (so much for a pre-wedding diet!). Each sweet treat looked like a little work of art. The bread pudding and blueberry scone were delightful and a tiny jar of chocolate/coffee flavors surprised me with some pop rocks in it. I was so full that I didn't even try the chocolate fountain...there is always next time.

Three hours later we left stuffed to the brim and content after an day of girlie chats.

p.s. Moms we are going here when you visit!
