Afternoon tea

I know this post is going to make some of my friends (Petunia, OKC and Leah) very excited. Yesterday I had English tea at a wonderful location - Fosters, an English Rose Cafe at 277 Holland Avenue.

The Devonshire cream tea set - your choice of tea with hot scones, sandwiches and cake - is very good value at $10.50++ per person. The photo below shows a set for two.

I particularly liked the scones, which were still warm when they arrived. They are heavenly when eaten with fresh cream and jam.


Our group of 7 sat outside to enjoy the fresh air and idyllic ambience.

Inside the restaurant, a large gathering for the Cosplay Community was taking place. Young ladies dressed in fanciful costumes kept streaming in and out to pose for photos near the terrace. While most were eye candy, there were some with blood splattered aprons. It was an amusing afternoon indeed.
