Miss Marple's Teahouse

"Miss Jane Marple is an elderly spinster who lives in the little English village of St. Mary Mead. She looks like an ordinary old lady, dressed neatly in tweed and is frequently seen knitting or pulling weeds in her garden. Miss Marple sometimes comes across as confused or "fluffy", but when it comes to solving mysteries, she has a sharp logical mind. In the detective story tradition, she often embarrasses the local "professional" police by solving mysteries that have them stumped."

When I wikipedia Miss Marple, the above was
what I read. Miss Marple is none other than a fictional character! Steewwpeet Miss Marple's Tea Room house put up so many pictures of her made me believe she is some real character in life!

During our journey back to Melbourne City from the tulip farm, we stopped by at the tea room for a short lunch break. I was awestruck before I even went into the teahouse!


So darn cute yeah the little cottage house/tea room? The interior itself is so cosy as though you have just entered a western home. Every piece of deco looks so antique. Every stretch of the walls are filled with pictures. Teapots are displayed all around the corne
r of the teahouse. The table is covered with flowery cloth. So sweet! Even the waitresses are dressed differently!


The clock barely even strucked twelve, the tea room was already packed with people! We were lucky to get a table right infront of us. Without wasting anytime, we read the menu as though we were studying hard for an exam. Just ordered only two dishes but enough to stuff us till death!



Miss Marple's Famous Fingers


Not her fingers lar okay... They are pieces of bread with toppings. We ordered the Fresh Chicken, Cheese and Asparagus Fingers. Not too fantastic in my opinion. I felt like it is something you can do it yourself at home. Just put the toppings on the bread and 'ting' in the toaster! I don't remember the price but I know is not cheap!



Devonshire Scones

There are two choices for the scones: plain scones or fruit scones. Being so greedy, we chose both! The scones come with delicious home made jam an
d lashing freshly whipped cream. Yummy yummy! Both the jam and whipped cream tasted sooooo good! The scones were still warmed when it served. The scones were as soft as fluffy pillows! Those scones were so darn filling I tell you! We could not finish it and ended up giving to my other friend who happened to be eating lunch there as well! Maybe cause the whole thing is carbo!



Teapot of Taylors

A traditional brewed 'Yorkshire Blend' cup of tea that claims to be the best cup of tea in England by the British Tea Council. Nahhhh... I reckon Lipton Tea Bag gives a better aroma! =P



Generally this place is worth for a visit. For a new fresh environment and just enjoy the coziness...

In the event of enjoying our cup of tea, my friends were trying hard to act as though they were very 'English'!




"Lovely..."
