Shiseido Macaron- Almond shell, Sakura raspberry creamComment: The cream was fine but the shell was too sweet for me, pretty macaron though
The gorgeous presentation of the Sakura Spring Afternoon Tea caught my eye but taste wise could be improved. If you are a sweet person, you may try this high tea set while enjoying top-notch service. There is nothing fancy about the savory items. If you are here for a chit chat session with your besties and take lots of photos with the gorgeous view, this is definitely one of the best place to go. Be sure to make a reservation for this afternoon tea!
