Afternoon Tea at Manila Pen. Well, at first I don't know much to do with afternoon tea but as i have observed, it's a social gathering in which upper class people of the society enjoy much. I had a chance to experience this and it feels great! also, buffet food was great!
Me w/ my Mom
For this plate, I had a Salmon Croissant (Bread was soft and fresh, Salmon was still a little cold and it was very fresh, it was the highlight of the afternoon tea) / Coconut Pie or Buko Pie in Tagalog ( I love their buko pie since it was sweet but not too sweet and the coconut was fresh and soft. Next is the Okoy ( A local dish in which the squash was used instead of flour, then there are shrimps, and some spring onions, and little onions. topped with vinegar for seasoning) it was light and tasty. I don't like heavy filling since it tends to be overly shabby. then some fruits.
Lobby
For this plate, I had the Tomato Penne (the pasta was soft and yet firm which i like, the tomato sauce was surprisingly average in taste and a little bit spicy. Next dish is the Chicken Pandesal which is quite tasty but not really great. The bread was ok, but the filling was thick in which it makes the sandwich good enough to eat. The Next sandwich is the roast beef topped with pickle. This particular sandwich was also a highlight of my afternoon tea, although i scrapped off the pickle, but the taste and the texture of the sandwich was oh so yummy.
Coconut Pie / Cheese Panna Cota (It was odd but creamy, and it's not advisable to eat a lot.) The Tiramisu was ok. You can eat at other Pastry shop that offers good tiramisu
Same Sandwiches then Fruit Tarts (Kiwi and Orange)
The dish on the smaller plate is a local dish called "Pichi-Pichi". This is a sweet sticky cassava dish topped with coconut. This is very famous around the country due to it's timeless taste, and sweet taste.
