Drinking tea out of pretty teacups.
Observing the decor.
Breathing in the sweet aromas.
Why would anyone complain about luxuriously eating food?!
When the ladies from work prompted to attend high tea at the Myer Murall Hall, I could not resist. I must admit I was rather reluctant to pay $70 for the experience, but I do not regret it at all. Going up six levels of the Myer Bourke St building felt like I was entering a whole new world. Hidden away upstairs, the ballroom was surrounded by walls of eight famous murals. It felt as though it was rich in culture from the 18th/19th circa. The feeling was so surreal, imagining people from upper class backgrounds that attended lavish gatherings at the Myer Mural Hall, built and owned by Sidney Myer. We were about to witness this in motion, but with a 21st century spin to it.
Imagine being greeted by good looking male waiters with glasses of champagne, live jazz music, expensive china, and finger food (lots of it). The menu was poorly chosen, but the sandwiches were my favourite! Scones are a given, they are everyones favourite because you get the best of both (jam and whipped cream) worlds.
^ adorable waiters. The uniform makes them look like crazy scientists though.
^ champagne showers
^ Table 17. We were surrounded by strangers but it didn't even matter. Everyone was so happy and lively and relaxed.
^ Sparkling water, tea, juice and champagne. Everything but normal water.
^ chicken mayo sandwich (how cute is the plate?!)
^ my favourite photo of all time. I love that split second that milk hits the tea cup! It looks like a really cool explosion.
^ the food was really mediocre to be completely honest.
the jam for the scones was delicious though! like something fresh off a farm.

^ expensive Chinaware. I wonder where you can purchase this from.
^ live music was heaven to my ears
^ view from the top of the staircase. Tables and tables ready for Sunday brunch.
^ the macarons were really bad... I wonder who caters for the Myer Mural Hall because it was really bad. They should invest in La Belle Miette macarons.
^ panorama photo thanks to Thao's camera! Ignore ma awkward face.
