Adding to the delight of afternoon tea

Fusion of Eastern and Western flavours enhance the experience English afternoon tea is traditionally a delightful affair with scones, butter cookies, pastries, cakes and dainty sandwiches to savour with a refreshing cup of tea as you enjoy a cosy tete-a-tete with friends. But, a small deviation by way of including some local savoury items makes tea time with your friends even better.

A mini spring roll, a tiny curry puff or a mouthful of an Indian dessert adds to the pleasure of that most welcome occasion.
