Tea for Three

So, while the rest of The Crew were off at Perhentians and Priya was supposed to be studying for ISAT, Sara, Sarah and I decided that we'd meet for tea last Wednesday. Originally we were thinking E & O but decided against it since we aren't rich enough, Sarah needed to be in Gurney, I couldn't spend too much time there since I was busy, and because of their usage of tea bags.

Which, according to some posh British blogger who Sara pointed out to us, is apparently a henious crime that will result in the end of the world.

I was only kidding about the end of the world bit.

Anyway! We came to a consensus about where we were going to go to eat afternoon tea. While Sarah hunted around Gurney Plaza for rocket (the vegetable not the spaceship missile kind) around 2:30, the lovely Sara came and picked me up and took me to..


It was warm and cozy :] Like the bolster I forgot to bring to Singapore.

So anyway the three of us sat down and Sara wanted to order potato bake and I was thinking, well, how in the world is she going to eat the potato bake if we're already having such a big afternoon tea after lunch? So I managed to convince her not to. Instead, we ordered Darjeeling black tea and a drink called Midnight Kiss because I liked the name and I thought it would help me be ninja since I wasn't supposed to be on the ground floor at 3 in the afternoon.


I liked it because it came in a small cute cup.

Because no outing is complete without a funny Sara Loh picture. Sara is licking Midnight Kiss.

Sarah, being Sarah, ordered a fruit salad and an Americano. I then asked her to flap her arms, and she obliged-

Her fruit salad came and it really wasn't very good, so Sarah proceeded to eat her own apples and pears like she usually does. It's amazing how she manages to eat so many fruit and not turn green or red. If she turned green she would be an alien, and I would be happy because then there would be an explanation for her extraordinary behaviours such as running and studying: not at the same time. So would Sara because Sarah would be green.

If she ate more oranges she would turn orange. I think I'm the only person that wants that for the moment. But never mind, I shall spread propaganda. Meanwhile Sara was staring at photos of her cheese baked potato thingy and kept saying she wanted it, and I was like... yeah you're never going to be able to finish it.

Then the cakes and stuff arrived in a pretty pretty bowl... plate... tier... small building.... thing.

Shut up, I know my vocabulary has gone downhill.

Anyway despite the overall prettiness, the food was okay-ish. I kind of liked the cakes but didn't want to finish them all because I was full and didn't want to force myself, and Sara refused to eat sponge cake. Sarah of course was munching on her 99th pear of the day, or drinking her Americano coffee with extra shots and less water. Who drinks coffee in a tea house?

Only Sarah Ch'ng. For she is just that epic awesome. Oh, meanwhile Sara started talking about ordering her potato bake and I was thinking, well she can order it, I'll try a bit but I don't think that she's going to be able to finish, after all we had lunch already and I'm pretty stuffed. After about a million years this arrived in all its potato-ey and cheesy glory.

Yes the potato bake. Fear it. It's actually pretty good though I was too stuffed to appreciate it fully. Sara meanwhile was devouring it and I was thinking, oh, she won't be this hungry in a short while, we'll probably have to pack it and take it back to her home. She can have it for breakfast and- HOLYSHITDIDSHEJUSTFINISHIT?!

Sara as always looked totally innocent as she nommed the last bits of her food down then toyed with her milk that was actual milk and not creamer. Maybe she works magic on us but I have no idea how she always looks like that. Then Sarah decided to buy two RM 30 teacups and two RM 30 saucers- well actually they cost RM 15 each but the extra money was paying for the satisfaction of her mother's heart. At least that's what I kept reiterating as she decided to buy this:

There was another one but frankly the other one had freaking chickens on it (maybe those chickens ended up in Sara's potato bake and got devoured) and was a tad dark. And besides this one had an orangey hue to it and was pretty. Seriously, guys. How can you resist anything that has an orangey hue to it and is pretty?

Oh, and Priya, once you finish ISAT you can say I Sat for ISAT :D
