Jin Patisserie (Abbot Kinney)

Food 15: Venice

I treat myself and had the afternoon tea set from Jin Patisserie (see old entry) for lunch. When I asked if it's too big for one person the waitress said no ^^;; There're sandwich, quiche, 2 scones, 2 pound cake, 4 mini-pastries + 1 chocolate + tea.

Close up of Mini Sweet Pastries and chocolate~ I love the Vanilla Green Tea (Jin used Le Palais des Thés tea leafs).

The tangerine pound cake and the very soft & moist (but not sticky) homemade tangerine scone with tangerine sauce (again!), very good! :D Overall very satisfied, even the very simple egg salad sandwich feels good admist the pastries.

This weekend I tried to go to the Le Palais des Thés shop but it closed on Sunday. :(

Hey hey Noami~ I missed NY so much! I bought Jurlique's Herbal gel btw, it is really really good, I can tell the improvement of my skin already (only use 2 days). It is not too expensive either. I found a Jurlique store at Beverly Hills.

Yeah I wish they use a stand! The mini cakes are so tiny, and their taste is very light and subtle...so before I get to really taste it, one bite...over! I only remember the chocolate mocha one ^^;;; the only thing that's really stuffing for stomachs are the scones. If two people were to share this, it'd be a nasty fight for the pastries (imagine if I share this with joan..hmm... ^^;;;)

Afternoon... tea o.0? That's surely a lot for one person, I think I'll have them for lunch! But they look really yummy though!

Oh they should use the three tier stand for better presentation!! ^^;;;
The scones and the pound cakes look good.
How are the little cakes?
