Rose Veranda ~ The One Hundred & One Tea of Shangri-La



Oh yeah... I'd applied for another half day leave today after yesterday. Still not happy about my boss. But... today was actually to go out with my sister for high tea for my birthday (On Tuesday) & after that, to fetch my mom at the airport. She's back today from her 4D3N Macau.

Anyway, today post will be about the Rose Veranda. Both of us love the service at Shangri-La. All the staff that we encounter are just so attentive & helpful. The place is also very.. hmmm.. I can't think of another word but classy & rich. Very taitai. Hahahaha. What do you expect? It's Shangri-La you know.

My sister & I were both very impress with one of the waiter there. Or was he the manager? Not too sure. Anyway, what happen was that my sister just finish feeding my niece & needed to wash the milk bottle. He noticed that my sister was holding on to the bottle & was looking for something (toilet). So he asked my sister & then volunteer to wash the bottle for my sister. Of course he probable took it to the kitchen for them to wash. But when he return us the bottle, it was washed & very warm. That means, it has probable been washed with hot water, thus sterilized. Hahaha. No need for us to wash with hot water again. Hehehehe I love hotel services.

Opps.... Too much on that. Anyway, on with Rose Veranda. The food there was alright. Not much selection but most of the food taste very good. The highlight of my whole experience there, the tea. Yes they really have 101 type of teas for you to try. But we manage to only try 6 different type of teas between the both of us. I must say, out of the 6, only 1 does not go well with me. Might be the tea that I had drank before that cup does not really go well with that.

In total, I tried the rooibos (??? forget spelling) tea, Mun da, Peach Blossom & I forgot the last tea I had. Hahahaha It was order by my sister & came in a pot so we shared that. We had a choice between a cup or a pot. We ordered all our tea in a cup so that we can try different flavors. The experience there was wonderful. The cost? I think it is about $40 per pax. My sister refuse to let me see the bill. But overall, I think that it is worth the experience.
What can I say... I wanna go there again!!
(Must look for a rich boyfriend/hunsband to support this habit Wahahahahaha)
