Claridge’s

Claridge’s

Num num..food again, huh? Hehehe...well this time I went to Claridge's for their Couture Afternoon Tea...In London, Claridge's Hotel is fancy shmancy..When we arrived by cab, a door man with tails and a top hat opened the cab door for me..

The interior is pretty swanky...a mix of 1930's style art decor and modern...Gordon Ramsay has a restaurant there too...lol..surprised? So was I when I heard he had a place there, cuz boy does he have a dirty mouth..Y'all know who he is; he's got that TV show back in L.A. called Hell's Kitchen in which every other word that comes out of his mouth is bleeped...They don't bleep here after 9 pm...

We were waitng to be seated and on one table there were 6 men sitting in suits having afternoon Tea..lol..it looked funny but one of the guys was a dead ringer for Richard Gere..and the guy kept looking at us..was funny..either it was him and wanted attention or a look-a-like who was enjoying our reaction to a fake Richard Gere..whatever...

Anyways....the Afternoon Tea was very nice..we were served sandwiches with the crusts cut off and when we finished the tray of sandwiches the waiter asked if we wanted more..it was all you can eat so we decided to indulge and have more..hehe...then after the sandwiches we were served scones with Marco Polo Jelly which was like a light mixed berry flavor, and Devonshire clotted cream...OMG that was the star of the show right there..you know, really, anyone can make sandwiches, but those scones and cream, wow, yummy..

Then we were served cakes..by that time I was too full..The tea was nice too..I had ordered the Darjeeling First Flush Tea..

Before we left I went to the Ladies room (would you believe that the Brits say toilet? hahaha...honest!) ok ok..I'll finish soon...Ladies room was nice..attendant fills sink for you and you get a real towel..yada yada..y'all seen it before..

Before heading back home we took a walk around Bond street which is kinda equivalent to our Rodeo Drive..It wasn't raining but it was foggy and misty..it set the mood really and I remembered that I'm in London!
