Posted on May 7, 2013 by bookjunkie

Finally tried Laduree. Just didn’t feel right though, to have it in a takeaway bag. Definitely spoils the experience. I would skip the chocolate next time and definitely go for the rose again. The orange blossom was lovely and fragrant … Continue reading →

Posted on July 4, 2011 by bookjunkie

TWG might be a tad snooty (still not as atas as PS Cafe), but it’s the place that most women who love high tea, would appreciate. The cutlery and table settings were all just so pretty. The natural light flooding … Continue reading →
