Eating Out: Vegan High Tea and Botanical Lab

I realised I hadn't posted about this remarkable meal I had towards the end of last year, and it is definitely something that needs to be shared! I had been to Botanical Lab a few times before, and when I saw they were having a Vegan High Tea I knew I definitely had to go. It isn't something they do all the time, it was something they only did for a few weekends. You had to prebook, so my friend and I jumped on it as soon as we saw it announced.

Behold their beautiful menu! We got all of this.



And it was presented so beautifully.





The forgot to bring out the jam and cream for the scones initially, they came after we had eaten the scones! But the cream was really nice, plus had boba balls in it.



The mochi ice cream and truffle also came out on their own.



Of course, high tea requires tea! And also drinks! We each got to choose a cold drink for ourselves, plus a pot of tea for the table. I picked the Apple and Strawberry Teanade, not realising that it was going to be fizzy, so I sipped very slowly. And my friend had the Biscoff Milk Tea with Pearls.



For our tea, we chose a white rose tea.



It was a lovely experience, and I would love to do it again. Sadly, the centre where Botanical Lab is located was severely damaged by the severe weather we had in February, and apparently they are not expected to be able to reopen until June. I really hope they are able to come back, and I will definitely support them if they do!

Cute Kitty Photo of the Post



All this talk about kittens. Did you know that Dim Sim was the last cat I had since a kitten? Gizmo, Sahara, Abby, and Boo were all adopted as adults. I sadly don't have a lot of photos of Dim Sim when she was a kitten, it was a time before digital cameras and phone cameras, and film processing was expensive when I was a student. But here is a photo of her at about a year old. She started out as the tiniest kitten, and turned into the tiniest cat.
