My best girlfriends from law school and I wanted to catch a breath after a hectic week at work. One of us suggested to skip our Saturday lunch to try the high tea sets at Cafe Landmark - a gastronomic restaurant frequented by celebrities.
I never enjoy 3-tiered high tea sets. Cafe Landmark further confirmed my sentiment. Obviously the food was done en mass way ahead of time. None of the savory items was even lukewarm.
The dim sum tier. Springrolls were cold and hard. Abalone Shumais were very bingy - left a bad taste in my mouth.
Some sandwich tier. The bread was not very soft and the sandwiches seemed too dry. The salmon rolls were tiny and didn't look very appetizing.
The desert tier was slightly better. The mousse was flavor-wised. But the blueberry tarts tasted like the chefs forgot to add sugar. The other pastry items were very odd in texture.
Thinking in retrospect it was definitely not worth HK$150 / head ... :( Nonetheless, I had a very relaxing afternoon with cups after cups of coffee and had lots of laughter.

唔夠熱真係大忌~@@"
You never took me to that sort of eatery :(
Re Betty: right, that is why i'd rather have dim sum fresh out of the baking stand.
Re Chrystie: let's go try some other tea sets when you have time. :)
賣相麻麻啫!
