Also seeing Hozier this evening.
"Afternoon" Tea in The Tea Room at Harrods, London, England:
|
Assam tea and Kelly's chamomile tea
(The Assam tea wasn't bad, but rather weak for my expectations. I thought it would be a lot stronger.) |
|
Scones and tea fancies
(Shared all with Kelly!) |
|
|
Scones w/clotted cream and assorted jams (not pictured)
(Both scones were pretty good. Crusty exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. The clotted cream was rather disappointing, resembling whipped butter, and the jams weren't fresh. I think Satori spoiled me.) |
|
Chocolate fudge cake: chocolate fudge cake w/chunky chocolate bits
(The best cake out of the five Kelly and I chose. Extremely chocolatey and fudgey - the description was spot on.) |
|
Parma violet delice: white chocolate and violet cream on dark chocolate fudge
(It looked so elegant and tasted like it too. The violet cream was an acquired taste; Kelly and I both felt like we were eating flowery perfume. I didn't mind it toward the end, but I definitely needed the strong chocolate flavour to slightly mask the violet.) |
|
Lemon meringue slice: lemon curd on a shortbread biscuit w/baked meringue
(Our least favourite. I don't like meringue much and this was just too much for me. The texture was also on the gelatinous side in a bad way.) |
|
Victoria sandwich: layered sponge w/vanilla cream and jam
(This reminded me of a princess cake or a female child's birthday cake. Interpret that as you wish.) |
|
Sticky toffee pudding gâteaux: layered toffee and date cake
(The toffee was very pronounced and I'm glad they put the tiny gold decor on top; it provided a nice textural contrast. This was the sweetest cake and if I was a big fan of toffee/caramel, I would have loved it.) |
Samples in Whole Foods - Kensington, London, England:
|
Mint & chocolate bar, apple cinnamon bar
(Not bad! Both flavours were very good.) |
|
Bread |
Dinner at Whole Foods - Kensington, London, England:
|
Ciabatta, assorted salads
(Kelly and I always seem to find ourselves in Whole Foods. I'm not complaining one bit. The ciabatta was also ridiculously good. Fluffy, pillowy interior with a crusty exterior. Perfection.) |
