the high tea was planned a few weeks ahead, and none of you expected a hot day like that saturday.
the apartment is on the 6th floor, and so you have the good overview of den haag city. your host has a lovely home. the windows were wide open but there was just no wind to cool the temperature down. so yo had a "hot" afternoon tea with these lovely ladies.
rather international mix from different ethenic groups from various indonesia islands to costa rica, korean, dutch and yours truly from malaysia. you all know each other rather well, most of them you see them once a week on sunday. but this was the occasion that you all really avail yourselves to come and get to know each other better.
everyone brought something to share. those who are passionate with cooking or baking seize the chance to showcase the talents. others who confessed cooking is not their cup of tea also brought something ready made from store.
you made the the sweet pink ispahan cupcakes, the mini quiche with tuna went really fast that afternoon.
your rosemary cheese chili savory scones was a hit too. there were some store bought traditional english scones too. young coconut cake and apple cake.
in short, the table overflows with food, both sweet and savory. and different sorts of tea of course. your host is a teapot collector, so you got to see the different fancy teapots put into good use.
the weather finally cooled down in the evening....
and you were not done for the day actually, you left here with a couple and continue to enjoy your warmest saturday of the year in the city, dining alfronso outdoor.
