I have a date with the lovely people I made friends from MVC. I am quite early, in fact. We were set to meet at around 5 pm in time for the dinner buffet at Yakimix and I didn't expect the "engagement activity" to be done this early just around lunch. I need something to amuse myself with. And I realized I'm just tiring myself walking back and forth doing nothing while waiting so I opted to find some place to lounge while waiting for them. I do think it won't be long since Mossy had texted me he's on his way.
Then I thought of TWG Tea Salon and Boutique, Aya's will be 'new' workplace next week...
First impression of the place.. It was intimidating if you are not used to going to such place. And since I am not much of a tea fan, it is my first time here. The place at that time was packed with people having afternoon teas I think. Couple of group of friends around and another family beside from where the host had seated me. It was surprising that most of the diners were foreigners, where have gone my fellow people of the country, eh?
Anyway, the host and staffs were pretty accommodating. When they handed me the menu and tea list... *I die* If the place was intimidating for first timers try checking out their list of Tea! It took me more than a second to place my order. I stared at the tea list for mere minutes acting as if reading at first but really, I was not. I am digesting and thinking "How am I suppose to read this all and take my pick?". It was uncommon for me to ask questions but at this moment I thought I needed the help badly. I am on the verge of panic and I can't absorb what I am reading. The table attendant has checked on me twice already and I'm feeling the pressure really! I tried texting Aya and then I remembered she was talking about this certain tea the other day, the one infused with chocolate. Brilliant brain! I can now give my order. A pot of Chocolate Earl Grey tea and a slice of cheesecake it is. Whew!
I feel like a poser here, waiting for someone whom I don't know if coming. I asked Mossy to join me once he arrived by the mall but he refused saying it is expensive dining and we were about to have dinner buffet together. So I spent my time there alone, eating my cheesecake slowly and taking the time in sipping my tea. I like it! A LOT! The cheesecake was different from the usual cheesecake, like the others on their menu and pastry displays, it was also infused with some type of tea. With regards to the tea, well, it tastes pretty awesome. I like that it was light and doesn't have an after taste. Chocolate Earl Grey was a lovely thing. It has the hint of tea and the taste of real chocolate and it smells nice too. It may be expensive but hey, it's worth spending for with it's quality and all. Efficient service, good food and lovely tea! It is a pleasant treat to self that ones in a while I wouldn't mind indulging with especially if Aya will be around here soon. I can see myself dining here at least once a month. oh no! I will be totally penniless after a few months. =P
In between people watching, (I wish I was seated by the glass window and not at the middle of chatting friends and bouncy kids with their parents) and drinking/eating slowly.. very slowly.. I didn't notice it was already past 4 pm. Oh well.. Time well spent. I asked for the bill and then the attendant asked me if I would like to check their mooncake. Yikes! and being me, easy to sway.. I bought one! I can't believe myself. *jaw drop* why did I buy one?
soon to be broke... ♥A
