Violin playing. I think of Ace Venture when I hear this song.
We ended up having to wait two hours to get a table here in the Tea Salon. Initially they
told us it would only be a one hour wait but by the time one hour had passed we had waited
so long that we figured it was probably worth it to stay and now Sam is not very pleased.
He's looking at me with evil eyes. Are you freaking kidding me. Sam is hiding
behind the camera because he's so angry that he had to wait for two hours. That now I'm
being punished by having to be on camera all alone.
Okay, so if your'e looking to go afternoon tea in Hong Kong. The Peninsula is the place
to come. This is the oldest hotel in all of Hong Kong and it's super popular. The lineups
really speak for themselves. background music playing.
Symphony orchestra. Mmmm, so I got my self a nice little tea cup
of mango tea. And it smells like fresh mangoes. So good. Mmmm, tropical.
Background music playing. We've already dug into the food. We couldn't
help it. If you go to the bottom here we have the scones which we can eat with the clotted
cream and jam. Over here we have some nice finger sandwiches with salmon, cucumber and
up top we have the cakes and the macaroons and lots of other treats.
So here I'm preparing my scones with clotted cream and jam. This is a favorite of mine.
Whenever I go to London to visit my friend Rebecca I always end up staying at her house
and I eat scones with clotted cream and jam three times a day. I eat it for breakfast,
for lunch and also for my late night snack. So I always get fat when I go over there.

The food was amazing. I think it was definitely worth the two hour wait. Although, I would
have preferred not having to wait that long. Some favorites were the little lemon meringue
tarts in a chocolate shell. Plus I really liked the scones with the clotted cream. Then
they had sandwiches with salmon that were amazing. So I'm a happy girl. So I think it's
kind of funny that we had to wait two hours in line but it only took us 30 minutes to
finish off all of the food in front of us. That doesn't make sense.
