English Hightea @ 1885 Eastern & Oriental Penang

in hightea •  7 years ago 
My first proper English Hightea in one of the most prestigious hotels in Penang.

With all the angmos (English people) sitting around me, I honestly felt a lil overwhelmed. I'm known to be the person you can't take anywhere because I always cause a "massacre". And you know English, they are all about prim and proper, I really don't wanna cause a scene here.

This is E&O, one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever been. The historical components are so well preserved.

(This is why you can't take me anywhere, modeling under this big old tree that probably wished it was chopped off)


I gotta say, this place has **THE BEST** scones in the whole wide world! They are so fluffy and they melt in your mouth! Minus the desserts, everything was great. How these English people eat all these sweets??? They are sweeter than Indian candies. It's a plateful of diabetes and I almost got a brain stroke from sugar rush!

I love the savory ones to bits. All of them tasted so so good! Perhaps I shall ask if I could have only scones and the savory finger food next time.

Thankfully, I didn't create a scene besides making a fool out of myself by calling the monitor lizard a Komodo dragon when the English family asked me what did we see outside the window.

Mama, I'm so proud of myself!

Have a good evening y'all!
