Afternoon Tea At the Szechuan Palace

Assuaging our thirst drives us in from the street, shoppping fatigued; a welcome retreat as a menu of delights rewards us with tea, Black Yunnan for you and Silver Tips for me. Smooth liquid sunshine kisses Ruby Woo lips, puckered to perfection; taking delicate sips, savouring the euphotic zone where the flavour is mellow deliciously steeped to an exquisite yellow. Anecdotic tales shared in our corner recess, chitchat and gossip; secrets we confess over an exotic brew drunk from that porcelain chalice precious moments imbibed at the Szechuan Palace.
