I could go on and on Annona...

But I won't because I have a full Sunday evening planned with Detective Murdoch and my couch. Five of us had high tea at Anonna* at the Park Hyatt this afternoon and it was good. It was not too pricey ($26) as far as Yorkville goes, but I'm hungry again which is a bit unusual. However, the food was good.

Finger sandwiches included:

• watercress and cheddar pinwheel on whole wheat (two for me),
• devilled eggs with ham (which I skipped, of course),
• grilled chicken and pineapple crepe roll up,
• smoked salmon salad with dill on white,
• roast beef with horseradish on rye.

I should maybe stop going to the gym before tea because I was not full after the sandwiches. The scones more than filled up the space in my tummy though. These might very well have been the best mini scones I have ever tasted. They were light and fluffy, airy even, and the flavour was very subtle. Individual pots of clotted cream and a good (but not overwhelming) assortment of mini preserves.

I ordered the white tip darjeeling (duh) and also tried the jasmine (refreshing but a slight hint of something astringent) and Eros (orange and vanilla, was really delicious and this from an herbal tea snob).

For dessert, I had a bite of the chocolate ganache and almost went into egg-accelerated chocolate shock. It was rich enough to marry, have kids and then happily divorce. I also tried a small bit of the english trifle shot but the flavour was masked by the ganache monster in my mouth.

The waiter and kitchen were very accommodating of my allergy so that was much appreciated. Good enough to recommend to my mother and her friends.

*I want to link directly to the tea menu on their website but it prompts me to download or open a PDF which is frankly annoying and unprofessional.
