Today we went for afternoon tea at "the Pen".
Supposedly a Hong Kong institution and the place to go. So, along we went, dressed appropriately (no flip flops, no sportswear) and ready for High Tea and High Times.
We did have great fun, lovely catching up and chatting. Looking at the very appropriately dressed, super stylish, crowd and also at those who had not read the dress code (yellow baseball cap ladies??).
But, the service was appalling. Never, ever go there. The tea was drunk well in advance of any food arriving - which took over an hour. The food was average but the waiting staff killed any desire to go again.
The morning was spent eating (noodles), shopping (my mother is a bad influence), and then to happy foot for a painful but beneficial foot massage. More pain than seems entirely necessary at the time but your feet feel wonderful afterwards.
Post Low Tea we had a wander then headed back to Wanchai on the Star Ferry. I do so love that ferry.
I rounded off the evening watching CSI, wearing my new heels, eating mini cheddars and drinking a glass of red. Perfection.

Does appropriately dressed mean new shoes??? Very pleased to hear that CSI won out in the end..
