Manchester's weather is usually quite bleak around this time of the month, though it has been surprisingly pleasant so far.
Decided to take advantage of the little sliver of sunshine and enjoyed a lovely spot of hight tea at Grand Pacific this week. Managed to sit in the outdoor area without freezing to the bone - a rarity in Manchester.
If only this weather could remain.... Unfortunately, the Manchester skies already seem to be reverting back to their dull self.. Time to forsake style in favor of my trusty old ugg boots and thick down jacket :(
When you think high tea in the UK, you think scones, clotted cream and jam. I do like me some scones but Grand Pacific is highly raved about for its asian high tea, so that's what I had. Rave reviews and all, it definitely didn't disappoint!
Round 1: Savoury foods.
A yummy platter of salad, duck spring rolls, and an assortment of sushi!
Round 2: Sweet treats.
Raspberry & hibiscus tea.
Always feel like sticking out my pinky when I'm sipping on a cuppa tea makes me more sophisticated.. Anyone else do the same? Haha.
Sipping on a fruity cocktail concoction of mango & lychee. yummmm.
Even though I ate till I was stuffed, I would've traded the food for a pipping hot bowl of mee pok or mee hoon kueh or orh lua or nasi lemak or laksa or mee sua or chicken rice or bak kut teh, etc, in an instant.
Can't wait to indulge in local food again soon!
No amount of delicious food will ever replace my love for Singapore's local food.
