Hi-Tea at Le Meridien Hotel

Last Dec, Winnie and the girls decided (including myself) decided to meet up for Hi-Tea at Le-Meridien as Winnie was holding the Starwood Privileged Card. It turns out that the Hi-Tea isn't covered by the Starwood Card. We met up at the Conservatory of Le-Meridien and we were given 2 choices ... "This" and "That" that offered dainty bite-sized pieces of various selections.




1. I chose "That" Set.



2. This is how my set looked like...



3. The Top Tier of Savouries





4. The bottom tier of Sweets




5. The Green Tea Soba ... ok tasting



6. The strange tasting salty jelly



7. The sauce reminded me of otak otak



8. The Beef cheeks were very tender



9. Clotted Cream, Jams and Butter for the scones. No pictures of the scones as my pictures didn't turn out nice



10. Red Bean and Green Tea Combination was really weird...I didn't like it...




11. Bakhlava



12. This was like a swiss roll with a jammy center and rolled in cereal flakes



13. Chocolate Tart with Jam topping and creamy base





14. Cheesecake



Overall, I didn't enjoy eating here as I prefer a buffet and if I have to eat something like this, I will prefer Carcosa's English Hi-Tea Set as it's much tastier, not so complex and the environment befits the occassion. Luckily the gang of gals made up for the disappointing food. We had a blast talking about girly stuff.

Marketing Away Day 2

My 2nd away day from office at The Saujana was really good too. I arrived there early and took the opportunity to take pictures around the hotel grounds. Then I realized as I was editing the pictures that some of the flowers looked like sex organs.... :Þ

Bfast Day 2 - Fried Bihun (Fine Rice Noodles) & Samosas


Fried Bihun with nice juicy PRAWNS!


Coffee Break 1 - Juice, Coffe or Tea with Biscottis


Coffee Break Snacks - Fruit Tartlets. Really yummy and tastes just right with rich short crust pastry


Choco Filled Pastries - Not too sweet with rich choc fillings


My Fav Biscotti with pistachios and walnuts


I am sure it'd taste better with coffee but since I can't take caffeine, tea is the next best choice...


Lunch Buffet with more PRAWNS!!!

BURPS!!!

Fruits to complete my lunch...


Tea Break at 3.30pm - Banana Cake, Mini Pizza, Salmon tarlet and skewered fresh fruits...yummy...I had a 2nd round...

I really enjoyed the 2 days away from office. On Monday I will have to type out my 20+ pages of meeting minutes. I hope I can remember all the details and read my handwriting.

Marketing Away Day 1

I am here at The Saujana Hotel, Subang Jaya for a 2 day conference. It's my first time here...really relaxing. I think this place is also ideal for a model photo shoot...beautiful...and also serves good buffet food.


Day 1 Bfast - Nasi Lemak. The rice are fluffy separate grains with a hint of pandan fragrance. The chicken curry was slightly spicy and the potato was cooked just right. I would prefer if they used thigh meat instead of breast meat though. The sambal is sweet and spicy and adds in the kick for those who can take the heat. I really love the deep fried ikan bilis as they are the plump-ish type and adds a nice bite instead of the smaller harder more than crispy types used outside.

The Lunch Buffet is really good and tastes food for a hotel buffet standard. They have the usual spreads of the starters (Soups, Cheese Platter, Salads and Cold Meats), the main courses (western grill, italian, Asian), and desserts (traditional kuih, western cakes, fresh fruits and fresh fruits with chocolate fountain).

The cold prawns are really fresh and nice! Sweet and succulent! The cheese was nice. I love their potato salad and cold cut meats too. The lamb didn't taste like lamb...it was missing its usual lamby taste but it was really tender and yummy.


I had 2nd rounds of the prawns and the potato salad. I heard from my colleagues that the pasta and skewered meats were really good too. I only had 2 rounds because I was seated in my director's table and was too shy to eat too much. Never mind, Day 2 I will eat more and talk less!!!

Tea Break - Biscotti. Nice and not too sweet or hard or dry.


Can you guess what these are?
