LML is looking around for places to celebrate her 21st birthday party this Christmas Eve. From her past experiences, people are usually not free on that day. A 10 yr old LML was so disappointed that very few people came to her birthday party on Christmas Eve, so it's gonna be on the 18th of Dec for a small group of 30-40 close friends.
We went around to recce some of the hotels in town that served Sunday high-teas. I did the cheapo thing and parked at Goodwood Park Hotel for free before walking to the other hotels in the area. Hehhee..
A lady we spoke to thought we were enquiring for our ROM ceremony or something.
*blush*
At the end of the day, it was down to:
1.
Goodwood Park Hotel International high-tea
Price: $20.80+++.
Pros: Good spread. Mee Siam, laksa, kueh pai ti, roti prata, fried noodles, carrot cake, dim sum, finger food, good range of pastries, ice cream.
Cons: Area too open to cordon off. Service questionable. Too many kids screaming and
taitais yakking at the tops of their voices.
2.
Scotts Lounge @ Grand Hyatt Hotel
Price: $23+++
Pros: Nice ambience. Cosy settings. Can easily cordon off a small area for the little party
Cons: Spread is pathetic, especially for foodies like me. But may not be such a problem since many of LML's friends are
taitai wannabes who eat finger food only and gulp down pots of tea anyway.
3.
Cafe Vienna @ Royal Plaza on Scotts
Price: $27+++
Pros: Nice ambience. Cozy nooks in the cafe that can be cordoned off.
Cons: Spread is mostly finger food once again, but much better than the previous hotel's. There's a "5th diner dines for $1" promo but not available on weekends.
LML is still deciding. But that didn't stop us from sampling the high-tea at Goodwood Park Hotel.
I had my lunch, tea and dinner in one sitting.
Burp.
