just got back from london this evening.
it was a wonderful short overnight trip, great in all ways, the workshop went very well, i had a very good night sleep and the wonderful dinner with a friend in london with the spicy food that so hot, spicy and exotic. love the food, the conversation and the catch up to bits...
between my after work and dinner, i had a long break. i wanted to try the ritz carlton famous traditional english afternoon tea but they only accept advanced booking and not really welcome solo diner like me.
well, never mind, to me it's just going to be a bit of overlay before the dinner appointment, so i walked to burlington arcade just opposite ritz where famous french laduree is located.
i tried all the macarons before and the london store doesn't carry the seasonal or limited edition anyway. what caught my attention is this new cupcake, in dark purple and in green. i opt for the purple one with a pot of tea.
i was on the phone with another good friend of mine was being layoff by her company. it was quite a sad news and must be a real blow to her, i was just being a listening ear and see if there's anyway i can help. with her capabilities, she should be able to get in to another job in no time. i sincerely hope the best for her and will help pulling string if i can....
frankly speaking the news and the conversation affect my mood for the afternoon tea a bit, but laduree's cup cake is full of substance, the butter cream has an intense almond taste yet not overpowering and it goes very well with the fig on the top and the fig puree inside the cupcake. each bite is a delightful experience full of surprise....
it's a wonderful afternoon tea indeed... not in the ritz's way but laduree way...
and i know it sounds crazy, i am off for another trip tomorrow.
