[Food] English afternoon tea at Suffolk House, Penang

When mint meets buttery creamy butter on scone

Mint Tea that I ordered for my English Afternoon Tea

Environment in Suffolk House is wonderful. Peaceful and close to nature. I walked in and ordered half set of English Afternoon Tea. For the choice of tea, I chose mint. I was sitting at the table where I can see the garden through the cloister. 

The paper table mat that advertising 32Mansion was flaw number 2 as it was quite distracting, the number 1 flaw I would say was the dirty spots on the "supposed" white table cloth. I am not a very particular person, but can't they at least use only the spotless clean table cloth?

For the afternoon tea, mint tea was perfect without sugar, not too strong but the taste of mint was great. The two tier tray was served moment later. With a mushroom tuna pie, 2 scones, 3 sandwiches (2 egg mayo and 1 smoked salmon). On the top tier was a bite size of sponge cake and a chocolate moist cake, along with 2 biscuits. Cream, butter and 4 types of jams were also served. I liked the scones in particular, with a luxury amount of cream, butter and jam that I piled on. A bite of that i heavenly. Crisp  outside, soft and warm inside. One bite of scone and a sip of the hot mint tea....calmed all my nerves. 

The sandwiches were normal, so was the cake and the biscuit. Tuna pie was filled with chunks of tuna. What I enjoyed the most was no doubt the scone. 

The half set of English Afternoon Tea was priced at RM35++. It comes in perfect portion.
