Tea Time at TWG Salon and Boutique Resorts World Manila

I have been to Resorts World a couple of times already either to watch a movie, listen to Draybers rock Bar 360, watch gamblers play poker or try out their luck in slot machines (yes just watched :) never tried any of those.. I know my capacity.. :p) or just sit and have tea time at TWG Salon and Boutique with a friend. 

By the way, TWG branch in Resorts World, Newport Manila is the largest branch that they have here in the Philippines. Compared to their branch in Greenbelt 5, the place is less "yellowish/golden" but it is surrounded by a long tea bar and huge shelves of varieties of teas of the world. 

Here's the picture of what I am talking about. 

That's the long tea bar behind me (that is where they prepare/brew the tea leaves)

The huge tea shelves (view from my seat)

Anyway, one Friday night, Luthie and I decided to go to Resorts World to watch Draybers perform at Bar 360. Luckily, Topher was also nearby studying at Bo's Coffee and so we invited him to join us. After Mitoy's performance (Draybers lead vocalist), we went around the casino. We got bored and decided to stay in TWG since we don't like to go home just yet. It was Topher's first time in TWG so we ordered something that we all haven't tasted yet. And for our orders we got the following:

raspberry muffins with cream and tea infused jelly

PARISIAN CRÊPE 

Crêpe filled with potatoes, turkey ham and Gruyère cheese tossed in a

French Earl Grey infused creamy béchamel sauce sprinkled with chives.

French Earl Grey Tea

I remembered I had a bad day during that time and my worries just fade away with every sip of earl grey tea. :) Topher was so hyper during that time and so we took a lot of pictures. The ambience at TWG is so cozy and so relaxing. The bright lights that illuminate from the chandelier just gives warmth to my tired body, mind and soul. :)

Forgive me, for the photo heavy entry. Enjoy!

here's the tea maker "brewing" our tea (they don't allow the customers to go near the bar because that is where their secret brewing happens)

and here's topher trying to score a kiss from me :P

the huge tea shelves that I'm talking about earlier

Post Eiga Sai Date at TWG Shangrila East Wing

Sorry for the late post. It took me a while to write again because I have become very busy at work and other extra curricular activities. So now that I have spare time, I would like to share our post movie date tea party at TWG Salon and Boutique in Shangrila. 

As a brief background, at first I really don't like drinking tea because it smells and tastes like wood. It's so earthy. It's like you're drinking juiced wood. Back then, I wondered why my folks enjoyed it so much specially when we eat at a Chinese restaurant. For one, I know we're going to eat a lot, so they need something to dissolve all the bad fats from eating too much fatty food. (Parang ako, ang dami namang mas masarap na beverage, bakit tsaa pang walang kalasa lasa..) But when milk teas became a fad here in the Philippines, I developed an acquired taste and from then on I enjoyed every sip I had of it. And that's the beginning of my obsession with drinking tea. 

Anyway, back to the post movie date party, so Luthie, Nina and I went to the new wing of Edsa Shang to try out the newest branch of TWG in the Metro. It's located at M/L (2nd and 3rd) of Shangrila East Wing.

We decided to order scones and croissant and the classic 1837 Black Tea. Here are our orders.

the yummy scones served with whipped cream and tea infused jelly

the flavorful 1837 Black Tea

Croissant

All these are served in this cute tray

We also ordered White House tea which is a white tea but I forgot to take a picture of it. And also these yummy Napoleon Tea and Caramel macarons that taste like Cream-O cookie only softer. 

And here are us! 

Ok. That's me. So happy! Haha

And here's our playful shot with the golden tea pot!

That's Luthie holding the thick tea menu

Me and Luthie! (Masaya talaga ako pag nasa TWG)

and of course Nina!

There had been so much girl talks that happened during that day that we did not notice that the mall is closing already! There's nothing like a good talk over a cup of tea! Hahaha!

And that's all for now, I hope you all had a good read!
