Peninsula Manila: Afternoon Tea Buffet at the Lobby

Afternoon Tea Buffet Table

We wanted to escape the summer heat without going to the malls or heading to the beach and breaking our wallets. We immediately called the Peninsula Manila Lobby for reservations after remembering that the renewal member's benefit of Peninsula Manila Card includes a complimentary afternoon tea buffet for two at the Lobby of Peninsula Manila.

Pretty plates and teacups

Beautiful Teapot

It was our very first time to experience an afternoon tea buffet here. As soon as we were ushered to our table, we instantly remembered little girls playing tea party upon seeing the tea cups and tea pots. The server asked for our preferred drinks. We asked for a juice and a tea. A milk was also given probably to partner with the chamomile tea.

Variety of Scones: Plain, Mango and Raisin

Filipino fare: Sapin Sapin, Bibingkang Malagkit and Maja Blanca

South East Asian dish: Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Asian Noodles

One of the best things, we liked at the afternoon tea buffet is the diversity of  food showcasing different culture. Plus, sweets and more sweets for the desserts!

If you have a Peninsula Manila Card, you can also get a discount. You will be needing at least Php 800 (an estimate) per person. The afternoon tea buffet starts at around 2:30 (1430H) until 5:30 (1730H) in the afternoon. Definitely, this is worth a try!
