Not
a
lot
of
good
things
to
say
about
my
first
high
tea
experience.
I
went
into
this
expecting
your
usual
high
tea
menu
-
bite
size
sandwiches,
small
pastries,
and
such.
Instead,
we
got
a
Cirque
du
Soleil
themed
menu.
I
think
it
would
have
been
better
if
they
offered
both
the
Cirque
du
Soleil
menu
and
regular
menu
and
allowed
each
table
to
select
one.
Anyway,
we
got
our
savory
items,
then
a
palette
cleanser,
our
tea,
and
then
our
sweet
items.
Let's
start
off
with
the
savory
items...
it
was
pretty
lacking.
There
was
this
lobster
roll
without
the
roll
item
that
was
like
eating
lobster
flavoured
air.
Then
there
was
this
astronaut
sushi
and
beef
tartare
which
were
both
just
okay.
The
baguette
with
prosciutto
was
actually
very
delicious.
Then
came
the
palette
cleanser,
which
was
some
sort
of
egg
custard
in
the
egg
shell,
with
some
gold
flakes.
I
just
think
the
gold
flakes
were
unnecessary,
especially
considering
the
flake
was
on
the
bottom
of
the
egg
shell,
so
we
didn't
even
end
up
eating
it.
The
tea
was
the
highlight
of
the
whole
experience,
I
think.
Really
delicious
and
high
quality
tea.
We
got
the
Shangri-La
specialty
tea,
jasmine
tea,
and
darjeeling
tea.
Then
came
the
dessert
round.
Every
piece
of
the
dessert
round
was
chocolatey.
I
feel
like
you
need
to
have
a
bit
of
variety
for
dessert
so
it
doesn't
get
too
rich,
like
a
fruit
dessert
or
something.
But
no,
it
was
all
chocolate
themed.
They
looked
cool,
but
everything
was
really
sweet.
I
would
like
to
point
out
the
chocolate
cigars-
they
have
some
weird
alcohol
in
them
and
it
was
actually
really
gross.
No
one
at
my
table
was
able
to
eat
much
of
theirs.
I
really
don't
recommend
eating
this.
We
also
got
some
scones
and
jam/cream,
which
was
a
godsend
when
compared
to
how
sweet
the
desserts
were.
Other
than
the
food,
the
service
was
really
slow.
There
was
only
one
guy
waiting
on
all
the
tables,
and
it
was
fairly
busy
when
we
were
seated.
You
would
think
for
a
fancy
hotel
they
would
be
better
staffed.
It
also
felt
like
he
forgot
about
us
at
one
point.
Not
a
great
first
high
tea
experience.
I
really
expected
more,
especially
at
the
price
I
paid.
I
think
I
would
be
willing
to
try
high
tea
again,
but
I
don't
see
myself
coming
back
to
this
hotel
for
food
or
lodging.
