Friends should always be there for the big moments. That is why for my first public appearance with the TEAM (and Marvin's big day out!) , we did it in a nice and posh tea place, the 1837 TWG Tea Salon and Boutique at Shangri-la Plaza.
The Sugar Canister and the Tea List
This being a TeaM-up (TEAM Meet-up), we have participants from all over Asia via Google Hangout, demonstrating the power of technology and the glaring status of Internet speeds in the Philippines. Ate Mars was at Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Power Couple Ian and Gracie was at their new flat at Singapore, and our dear Chappy was down under in Australia. Representing the Philippines are Debbie, Loulou, Flippy, Jeb and Marvin.
With Debbie being the Tea person, she chose the teeming teapots that we have to drink. and it was the soothing flowery infusion of Sakura Sakura and the Strong imposing taste of the Jade of Africa. We are in unison in choosing Sakura Sakura over the Jade.
Jeb was sad that the Today's Special was not available so we ordered Chicken Ragout instead. It was bordering on dry. #SorryNotSorry

Another Main course is the Pan-Seared Salmon. It was spot-on. The infusion of Tea was obvious.

For desserts, we had this Earl Grey infused Ice Cream and Mango topped custard. Not that earthshaking but definitely delicious. The Creme Brulee was OK.
