TWG, does that stand for “The Wonderful Gastronomy”?
The place has a high ceiling and we noticed that it has this
masculine look that Sherlock Holmes will not look odd in. N also noticed that
the place has a lot of male customers as well. Tea party is just for girls?
Nah!
When J and I arrived, N was waiting for about 2 hours
already. But to my surprise, she was able to resist finishing the yummy raspberry
tart she ordered. It was fluffy in the inside, tangy on the outside and the
crisp yet creamy dark chocolate chip made all the difference. Sorry, no picture
but just say, “one awesome tangy raspberry with dark chocolates on the side
tart!”
It took us a while to decide on what to order. I was overwhelmed
with the menu as it had a lot of yummy choices. In the end, I chose the first
thing that caught my eye… Gourmet brunch
set (PHP750).
My brunch set is divine! The mixed salad had a tangy
dressing and it sure boosted my appetite. I fell in love with the scrambled
eggs as it was really fluffy and creamy. I also opted to have it with white
truffle oil. It made me go aaaaah~~ every time I get a bite! I enjoyed it even
more when I ate it with the French brioche toasts. One of the reasons why I ordered
this set is because there’s salmon but I was a tad disappointed to find out
that it was so small. :(
The marinated shrimps were served chilled and it was
undeniably fresh. The orange juice was also freshly squeezed and I enjoyed
every pulp!
As for my pastry, the server recommended the Singapore
Surprise and I was indeed surprised as it was amazingly good!!! It tasted like crème
brulee but with raspberries and it had a hard crust thus adding texture to the
typical creamy crème brulee.
N’s lasagna is a winner! The pasta was cooked well and the
sauce was simply delicious! You can definitely taste the seafood flavor from the
sauce alone. I had a little bite and it was already satisfying.
J’s salmon was pretty good too! It was slightly crisp (or
perhaps because I got the edge?) yet the salmon was not dry. The tangy balsamic
vinegar added a bit of kick to it.
As for the tea, N ordered the
Black tea with Chocolate while I ordered the Pink Garden tea (mine is part of
the brunch set). The chocolate tea was bitter as the tea flavor was
overpowering the chocolate. I added a bit of sugar to sweeten it and in an
instant; I finally got to taste the chocolate.
The Pink Garden tea on the other
hand is part of the tea group with flowery taste. If I recall it right, rose is
one of the ingredients to make this tea.
Overall, I had a fun lunch date
with T3. I will definitely be back for Sexy Tea, Love Me Tea, Happy Tea and
Dancing Tea!
