Afternoon Tea at Radisson Blu, Manchester

Time of visit: 3 September 2013

My daughter, RB, gave me a voucher for afternoon tea for two at Radisson Blu as a mother's day present. Bless her! After delaying for quite long time, finally I made the trip to the venue with my friend, SW.

It was a very pleasant day, we took photos of each other near Midland Hotel. We were in high spirit and.. hungry.
The afternoon tea was beautiful. We enjoyed it very much. I had Lapsang Souchong tea, for the first time. The smokey taste reminded me of my grandmother's kitchen. She used a traditional wood burning cooker. Sometimes, because too much smoke, the drinking (boiled) water had smokey taste. 


Although we were hungry, we could not finish them and took some home.

The left one is Gentlemen's Afternoon Tea, the right one is Traditional Afternoon Tea.

The bottom tier of Traditional, sandwiches: beef. prawns, egg mayo, salmon.

Middle tier: sultana and plain scones.

The top tier of Traditional: cakes.

The top tier of Gentlemen: fish & chips, pie, and Yorkshire pudding with roast beef and gravy.
