Death by chocolate …
… is still uncomfortable.
Today my sister and I took our mother and grandmother for High Tea. Chocolate High Tea to be precise. The Stamford Plaza in Brisbane holds Chocolate High Tea every Saturday and Sunday from 3pm to 5pm. The concept is lots of tea and lots of petite, sweet and savoury delights with a high emphasis on chocolate. Think “Baileys Cheesecake”, “Chocolate and Peanut Caramel Slice”, “Chocolate-dipped Strawberries” and “Mud cupcakes” as well as a smattering of the standard crustless finger sandwiches and too many other petite sweets to mention.
Heaven? Yes. Filling? Definitely! Almost sickly? For me, yes but for my fellow diners not so much. I highly recommend the exercise for anyone who has a sweet tooth and is willing to “play ladies” for an afternoon. The demographic is certainly set for the outing but what could be better than whiling away a couple of hours overlooking the river and stuff your face with chocolate-y delights!
