Afternoon Tea at The Peninsula

When you visit any particular city you would be sure to visit the main attractions. Say if your in Paris, you must see the Eiffel Tower, If you are in Dubai, the Burj Al Arab, if your in New York the Statue of Liberty and so on and so on …

Well one of the must sees if you do ever visit Hong Kong would be The Peninsula Hotel. Opened since 1928, The Peninsula Hotel has and still is one of the finest in the world.

And if you are lucky enough to plan a holiday during the festive season then all the more reason to go. The best ways would to dine in for afternoon tea at The Peninsula, which by the way is the most sought after afternoon tea in town. Where everyone waits for an approximate hour and a half in a queue that stretches ridiculously long, not to mention the prices they charge for an afternoon tea stand for 2. However soaking in the whole atmosphere before, during and after really is priceless.

The staff are immaculately polite and helpful. The decor and all its grandeur would leave you thinking that it would have been all worth your penny bunking in for even a night. Sadly the food does not match up to rest, however with everything around, you overlook that flaw and move on to be enchanted.  

I guess only the scones with clotted cream and jam was the only memorable bite, something about having it in The Peninsula Hotel just seemed so matching. The rest I leave to the photos to explain. The next time we re-visit Hong Kong, you can bet every last penny that Afternoon Tea at The Peninsula would be in the itinerary.
