A Disappointing Afternoon Tea at Golden Sands

There was this suggested Facebook post that showed up in my wall one day – an afternoon tea package for 2 at only RM43nett! How could we resist? Thus we drove all the way to Batu Ferringhi to give it a try on a lazy weekend.

The Facebook Post!

The set was served at Lobby Lounge – an open air area without air condition but thankfully was airy enough. There were hardly anyone there and we were 1^st served with our tea with some biscuits. We were actually quite disappointed when the main tray was served. It just didn’t meet our expectation of an afternoon tea in a 5 star hotel – but then it only cost RM43, I guess you got what you paid for. =P

Tea please?

There were 3 layers with salmon sandwich & cheese croissant on the bottom layer, scones & pastries on 2^nd layer and fruits on the top layer.

Our Afternoon Tea Set

The salmon sandwich was okay but the cheese croissant was just like something I’d get in a common bakery with just normal cheese slice & vegetables inside.

Sandwiches

The scones were equally pathetic from outlook and also its texture whereas other pastries were meagre and as I mentioned before – could be from some low end bakery.

As for the fruit platter on top? Hmm… I’d let you be the judge – does it look appetizing? LOL!!!

Scones & Pastries

Fruit Platter

This would be our 1^st & last time for this afternoon tea at Lobby Lounge in Golden Sands. I’d rather they provided a better quality afternoon tea with higher price than this mess. It totally did not match their 5 stars hotel standard. The only upside from this visit was the good service from the staffs.

Golden Sands Resort is located in Batu Ferringhi Penang, Malaysia.
