To eat High Tea in Hong Kong is kind of a big deal. They offer it at many places, but the most famous places are the Peninsula Hotel i Tsim Sha Tsui and Repulse Bay Hotel. High tea is served in the afternoon, usually sometime between 3 to 6pm. At the more popular places it's also ridiculously expensive, but worth at least one try. Honey and I tried it at Repulse Bay a few weeks ago, and it didn't let down.
Delicious scones :).
At high tea you get a cup of tea, usually scones with butter and jelly, and mini pastries, both sweet and savory. It doesn't look like much when you get in the three story tower of foods, but it sure is plenty. We got excellent scones, lovely savory tiny sandwiches, sweet pastries, waffles, cheese sticks and mango pudding. I ate it all, slowly, and enjoying all of it. For that price there is no chance of leaving one little crumb. It was delicious and for a once in a lifetime thing, or for a celebration of some sorts, High Tea is totally worth it. If you haven't tried it, I strongly suggest that you do so. At Repulse Bay you also get the wonderful sea view, just that is worth a lot for us who lives in the city with houses wherever you turn.
