My mother always requests afternoon tea for her birthday. We normally go to the Beverly Hills Hotel, but this time, we tried the Living Room at the Peninsula Hotel. It was a splendid afternoon! The service consisted of champagne with strawberries and cream, then tea and scones, tea sandwiches, and desserts. It doesn't look like a lot of food, but we were all so full afterwards! I had caramel pear tea which was a real treat! My favorite was the curried chicken salad sandwich and the egg salad. Everything was delicious though. Oh, and did I mention there was a harp player? I wanted to break into song when she started playing songs from the Phantom Of The Opera...

Oh wow, this looks so funnnn! I want to go there! All that food looks beyond amazing. Was it expensive?
ReplyDeleteIt was a little pricy, but definitely worth it! There are also other places in LA that do afternoon tea which are more affordable.
DeleteWhat a wonderful tradition! I love tea and and the dessert looks so yummy!
