High Tea Delight
You ever fancied of having your girlfriends around, perhaps chit-chatting at your crib, enjoying the old-times, just like before this pandemic started? Well, indeed, I do.
I miss those days where we could hang out at the veranda, looking at those majestic mountains, the breeze that is just right, not being cautioned whenever someone coughs. The tranquillity then adding your friends in the picture embodies a perfect chill out.
But first, where did high tea originate or what does it mean? According to The Carrington:
“The British tradition of High Tea began in the mid-1700s as an afternoon meal usually served between 3 and 4 o’clock.
Initially, it was a meal for the working man, taken standing up or sitting on tall stools, thus ‘high’.
Tea with cakes, scones, even cheese on toast would have been served.
Gradually, this afternoon meal became more known as an important event on the social calendars of Ladies and Gentlemen, rather than a meal for the working man.
For the ‘Leisure Classes’, High Tea served a practical purpose, allowing Ladies and Gentleman the opportunity of a substantial meal before attending the theatre, or playing cards. (It might be a long time before Evening Supper could be taken!)
It was around this time that one John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, had the idea of placing meat and other fillings between two slices of bread.
Thus, the High Tea sandwich was created.
Courtesy of the British Empire, the tradition of High Tea spread across the globe, arriving at The Carrington Hotel in the mid-1880s, where it has remained a popular event ever since.”
In line with this and with the current situation that we are in, catering is one of the best options that we can enjoy. Having it set up at home, we create precious moments with our friends and family. Also, you can choose what type of catering or buffet. For me, high tea buffet catering will be a perfect pitch at home and invite friends over. I have listed some high tea buffet catering that you can arrange at the comfort of your home. Price varies depending on the number of pax and courses.

If the resources are tight, then I guess preparing a light meal such as a sandwich or scones over a cup of tea will do. What is important is the memories you created with your cherished ones.
