The Secret Garden and Tea Room

Aloha Friends, in a few days, I will be turning another year older. Because my birthday falls on the same day as when baby is due, my son and his inlaws decided to take me out for an early birthday celebration. So sweet, right?? So they took me to this beautiful place... it's called The Secret Garden and Tea Room. It is a beautiful immaculate house, that actually looked pretty scary when we first approached. I thought it was pretty amazing that they've turned this home into a tea house. It's a historical home, as it was built in 1829!!

 Here is the view of the Secret Garden... it is actually right in front of the house, and during the Summer months, they have tables and chairs set in this area for more customers to come and enjoy, and sit in the warm summer sun while having tea.

The beautiful tea cup that I was blessed to used. They gave us a cut strainer that helped from allowing any tea leaves fall into the cup. 

 

This cheese platter was first to arrive... kinda like our appetizer. There were 3 different types of cheese on this platter. The one covered with pesto, the tuna scoop looking ones, and then cut up pieces of cheese. I forget what each was called, but they went well with crackers, apple and grapes.

We were then served this yummy raspberry sherbet, to cleanse our palette and get ready for the grinds!!

Lemon Curd, Raspberry Jam and Whipped Cream for the most delicious scone I have ever tasted...

I don't usually like scones, but THIS scone was SO ONO!!!!! The outter layer was so crunchy, I just couldn't have enough of it. But I couldn't eat it all, as I wanted to save room for all the goodies that were heading our way. Oh man, but this was so delicious!!!

Then our 3 tier platter came out... here's what was on the bottom tier... cucumber sandwich, a chicken cranberry roll, turkey sandwich and I think the other was a turkey walnut sandwich. Yum!!!

This was from the middle tier... orange, a quiche, and a pizza bite thing that was made of pepper, but tasted just like a piece of pizza, pineapple too!!!

The 3rd tier was dessert... I was full by the time I was supposed to eat this tier, and didn't get to try any of them, I instead packed them up and took them home. 

Here is a pic of the entire 3 tier platter....

My youngest doing a good job balancing a sandwich on the cute spatula that comes with the platter... both of my boys really enjoyed this tea house. I was so happy to enjoy the day with family.

This is the dessert that came out last, but not least. They stuck a candle in mines and sang happy birthday to me. #SoLoved

Lastly, a pic of all of us on this wonderful day enjoying Tea. Thank you Lord, for these beautiful people I get to call "OHANA". 

Thanks for stopping in... if you've never been to a tea house before, I highly recommend for you to go and check it out. The food might be served tiny, but they sure are filling. Go with your family or with a bunch of friends. It's so much fun and so enjoyable.

Aloha,
Jen
