Like last year, several high tea events have been held at different city venues as part of Eat Drink Perth. We rather liked the idea of a Parisian-style high tea served in the elegant dining room at Origins Restaurant at the Pan Pacific Hotel. At AU$55 per person, it was the most pricey of the […]
Remember this fine fellow? Smoked trout by Holy Smoke in Pemberton, Western Australia For family afternoon tea, Jac and I have made a dip using the Holy Smoke smoked trout that came in my Urban Locavore box. We haven’t followed a specific recipe. First, I skinned and flaked the trout, carefully removing all the bones. […]
Last month, we had a family afternoon tea at my folks’ home to celebrate my sister Juji and my dad’s birthdays (my brother’s birthday is also in September, but his official celebration was at the recent 62nd birthday party). Everyone brought something along for afternoon tea, and it was quite a feast! Jac and I […]
We had a family afternoon tea recently at my parents’ home. Jac and I contributed siew mai to the meal – we bought three or four serves from Fook Kee at Spencer Village International Food Hall (200 Spencer Road, Thornlie) and brought them along. Mum and I placed them in a dish to heat up […]
Manager L brought cupcakes to work for afternoon tea. There’s something about sprinkles that makes me really want to eat a cupcake! And I love the festive polka dot serviettes that make an appearance every morning or aftertoon tea! The cupcakes were fluffy and soft and utterly enjoyable. The sweet icing was a perfect sugary […]
These were frozen mini pies I oven-baked when Juji, Jay and A came over for afternoon tea. There were three varieties of pie: chunky beef, chicken and mushroom, and lamb and rosemary. Sorry, no innards shot – I did take a few photos of the pies’ innards, but they didn’t turn out so well. The […]
This is something I’ll definitely miss from my old job – birthday afternoon teas from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie with my now ex-team mates. A cup of tea, something sweet and decadent, chatting and laughing, and forgetting about the stresses of work for just a little while. This was workmate R’s birthday celebration. We’d se…
On the same day as the family breakfast at Sizzler, I went to afternoon tea at my friend D’s home. D was one of my best friends from my now ex-workplace. She wanted to celebrate my new job (although she was sad we would no longer get to work together) and my PhD. Our great […]
There was a farewell and engagement celebration afternoon tea at work last Friday afternoon. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: these morning and afternoon teas are the best and worst things about working in an office. Best if you love food, worst if you’re trying not to put on weight. Overall, worst […]
It was C’s birthday last Friday, and she bought a selection of sweets from Crown Caffii (formerly Le Croissant on the Cove, Shop 24 108 Royal St East Perth) to share for afternoon tea. There was a cannoli, a chocolate eclair, a chocolate sponge slice, a florentine and a chocolate hedgehog slice (under the florentine). […]
