The next time you find yourself at Century City Mall, do stop by Lartizan Boulangerie Francaise and have a salon de the experience with their très abordable Le The d'Apres-Midi (Afternoon Tea).

It's not just the holiday feast (which I wrote about here) that made it merry, but the precious time I spent with my family, good friends and lovable inaanaks! Here are some more snippets ...

Simple because we just had some English Breakfast tea (it's TWG, natch!) and scones from the hotel. The English Breakfast tea from TWG was divine and luxurious, but the scones were ... READ MORE
