Tiny Tim's Tea Room @ Canterbury

I love afternoon tea.... Scones with jam - my all time favourite. While researching on the day trip, stumbled upon reviews of this place and since i am the organiser of the trip, made this the place we are heading for lunch.

Scones on display

Lovely display of pastries, cupcakes and scones

Lovely, pretty cupcakes - Not really sure if it is for display or for sale

Afternoon Tea Set for 2

Egg Omelette

Scone
The afternoon tea set seemed little and not filling, but after only having 1 scone, was really really full. The only guy in our travelling group agreed. The cakes and pastries as seen at the top of the afternoon tea set was pretty tasty. The lemon pastry thingy was really refreshing. The chocolate fudge cake has really good chocolate used. The biscuit beside the scone, i dint really like, maybe as i don't like fruit cake/pastry stuff. Personally i love the place and the scones but my friends say they have much better ones on their visit to cotsworld and on the way to somerset. Better ambience and better scone and pastries. I haven't been to cotsworld, so till then, this scone is my favourite.

Verdict: Great for a all girls afternoon chat and chill as afternoon tea needs to be enjoy. For us, who slotted the place in amidst our day trip, was kind of rush. But then again, i will do the same again if i were to go on the same itinerary trip.

The Terrace @ Le Meridien

Afternoon tea.... My all time love...

Headed down to The Terrace @ Le Meridien for afternoon tea with another girl. Chose this place as i have 50% off the menu using the Tastelondon card.


 
 Location was great and the place was not crowded. Hence great escape from the crowds on the streets.

Food was very tasty (esp. the macaroon) and service from staff was really good. Think the picture i took doesn't do justice to the food as it taste much better than it looks.

However, if you are looking for cakes, scones, sandwiches and tea served in pretty lovely chinaware, you might be disappointed. As they are served in ordinary stainless steel teapot and plates.

Verdict : Food is good, but without 50% think price is a little steep for me. With 50% off, will definitely be heading back.
