Staff were smart, efficient and polite, and able to accommodate unusual requests.
Usually, staff will take time to explain how they serve their afternoon tea but Palm Court didn't.
There are several teas listed in the menu with helpful descriptions. Staff is also able to give recommendations on Tea selection.
Environment
Their live music was kept to a background level which encouraging chatting.
Lights dimmed towards the evening. Quite romantic.
Wonderland afternoon tea set ($498 for 2)
Palm Court is served with a traditional 3-tier cake stand which means pastries should be those universal choices, not much surprise.Sandwiches come first, and serving staff are adept at positioning plates on the stand so everything still fits.
SandwichesThe Sandwiches were too dry to taste. Dull style.
That reminds me what I had tasted in Mandarin Oriental Hotel before, bad sandwiches quality too.
PastriesAll mini cakes are served with less sweet, which kick and offset the bad quality of sandwiches nicely.
Scone
(served with strawberry jam + rose jam)
4 homemade scones arrived after our sandwiches were devoured. A bit late for that.
They are wrapped in a napkin so still warm when we cut them in half.
2 plain and 2 raisin scones each were not crumbly even before I added clotted cream and homemade jam.
ConclusionThere're lots of Mainlanders who used to speak like arguing. It somehow destroyed my relaxing afternoon tea mood a bit. However, it's not the main factor.
Staff are a true credit. Nice.
Am quite disappointed about the quality of the pastries and sandwiches. With the price of $498, I do expect more.
I wouldn’t recommend to my friends who loves afternoon tea.
