Afternoon Tea at the Movenpick

For our Ladies Lunch this month (June) we all went to the Movenpick for afternoon tea. We arrived and all threw off our abayas as this is what they all did on their last visit to no objections, but this time we were being watched ... eventually we were told that we had to cover ourselves and put on our abayas.

Nevermind, freedom for a few moments ! Just think heat and then add conservative clothing (long trousers, and sleeved tops) and to top it all, a rather lovely, not cotton or linen but a sweat inducing, black nylon abaya !

The food was lovely, if not served up in a rather odd way with the apple pies served first (with no cream !!!), then came the berry fruits pies, and finally the sandwiches. Then 'the big one' we were all waiting for ... the 'scones'. Great debate was had as to which was the correct pronunciation and my verdict is still 'scONe' not 'scone as in stone' ! No clotted cream !!! Very disappointing. We had some kind of cream though (I do suspect that it was pumped out of a pressure can into the little bowls).

All in all it was a lovely afternoon tea and I would certainly go again for 40 SR and its worth going for the view too.
