We spent a very enjoyable afternoon today consuming some very unusual and very sugary delights at Suka, a restaurant in the Sanderson hotel in Fitzrovia. I had booked a 'Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea' as a late birthday treat for Jimmy as I know what a fan he is of anything sweet and edible! We had eaten afternoon tea at Harrods before (where they mistakenly told us we could eat as much as we like so I'm not sure we're allowed back..), but this was a completely different experience!
We first ordered a cocktail each which were amazing and rather strong!, before choosing a tea, mine had a flowering Jasmine blossom in the bottom of it, and an assortment of goodies were brought to the table to be eaten in a particular order.
We started with rainbow coloured sandwiches - green, pink, yellow and brown coloured with spinach, beetroot and saffron before an exploding lollipop and one that felt hot and cold on each side. Traditional scones were definitely the best ever tasted, and we then had some beautifully decorated cakes which were incredibly sweet! We finished the tea with a small bottle that instructed 'drink me' through a straw. Three flavours were layered inside - passionfruit, panna cotta and exotic foam (still not quite sure what that means!).
At the end of the meal we were given a key each to try to open a box with a prize inside. Unfortunately we weren't in luck but Jimmy did spot an Oreo cookie cupcake on a after-tea meander that suited him just as nicely (a man giving away mango smoothies lured us in).Afternoon tea was amazing, it was something really different as well as making our tummies very happy!
