Comments on: Ladies Day Champagne High Tea, Shangri-La Hotel Lobby Lounge, Sydney http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/02/03/ladies-day-champagne-high-tea-shangri-la-hotel-lobby-lounge-sydney/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Although the kiddie version was just a toned down version of the adult version it seems - the chocolate cake even had gold leaf! And the adults in attendance still got champagne, we just had facepainting to go along with it lol I was at the Shangri-La for a teddy bears picnic high tea yesterday and must go back for an adult version (was searching for details of it and KNEW you would have been!).

Just to be sure, I'd ring to check beforehand :) It's my favourite part too!

Hi Bubz-Our waitresses did seem a bit flat out but it didn't seem that busy? Especially since they only brought the drinks and sandwiches. Some of the sweets weren't bad (I really liked the macarons) but some of them were not great. We saw the lolly display for Cafe Mix-interesting! :) Hi Sandie-Hehe I can't imagine anyone watching the tv either. I don't think they had the sound turned up. It's there every afternoon so I don't know why they don't put it away. It's probably a remnant from breakfast service (hehe not a great one). Hi grace-Awww I'm sure you wouldn't! And yes the cinnamon cake was really cinnamoney! Hi cath-Oh dear, that's just strange! 2 hours is a long time not to have tea too for an afternoon tea!

We all ordered our choice of tea or coffee at the start, but then 2 hours later we had not received them. When I finally managed to get the waitress's attention, she said that they don't serve them until we finish our sparkles! Crazy when there were people at the table not having a glass.
