High Tea-ing in HK

One of the quintessential things to do when visiting HK is to have afternoon tea and the most popular choices are at The Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental and recently on top of the list is Four Seasons.

The lobby of The Pen where the rave for traditional English high tea began in HK was spectacularly-decorated for Xmas this year. I picked a work day and arrived half an hour late (the afternoon tea time started at 2pm) and the queue was crazily long! So I gave up and headed to MO instead.

Honestly the food is much better at MO but nowhere beats the vibe at the Pen. The clotted cream and rose petal jam are my favourite but I can never finish all the scones.
