I haven’t visited Hongkong for years, my last stay was in 2008, the trip was attached to my Macau visit. After 15years, I wanted to go back and find afternoon tea become a recommended tourist activity.


I lived in UK for several months around Warwick, a lovely historical town. I really enjoy the leisure and good breakfast but I never tried afternoon tea. (maybe my living standard haven’t reached that level.)



I found myself learning the afternoon tea etiquette from youtube and website.
Several things I found:
- it is not a cheap habit because it is 3-5pm, you should have the leisure to enjoy the afternoon. And you should have a late night dinner with entertainment so that you don’t go to bed full. So it is embedded into a good lifestyle
- it is no difference than going to a decent restaurant for brunch or dinner. Dress smart, wait others to finish this round of food, don’t look over your tea, don’t stir in circle but back and forth.
- There is no special food, it is a combination of dessert and light appetizer. Don’t expect to be surprised by the food selection.
- It is more a social event than a food event. The ‘social’ part can be with your true self, that you want to enjoy the process all by yourselves.
Will I add it to my trip? Yes, why not, I even saved the website for the afternoon tea in Hongkong. I will post a article when I did the trip.
