| - This was my second time at MoRoCo and this time was for friend's birthday. A bunch of us came for brunch and not for their popular afternoon tea sets (the first time I was here.. I had their afternoon tea, which is something i would recommend!)
So... We were actually late for our reservation due to the ridiculous construction closures in the area; however the restaurant was nice enough to wait for us. When we got there, we were promptly seated. I was quite surprised that the place was pretty empty, but believe me, this place fills up fast so reservations are highly recommended.
Anyways, once we were seated, the server bought over the tea selection box. There are more than 20 teas we could choose from which reminded us of David's Tea. I chose the Fujian White Rose while my two friends chose something from the chocolate tea section- mint chocolate and mayan chocolate truffle. My other two friends ordered a latte and a frozen hot chocolate (which was okay, accordingly to my friend)
After little while after ordering our drinks, the server came with individualized tea pots, which added to the dining experience. All drinks come with one macaroon and we all got something different that matched with our tea or coffee beverage. You can also purchase macaroons and chocolate at their store located at the front of the restaurant.
Now with what I ordered:
- Peameal & Cheese Benny- this breakfast favourite was good, but not great! The one important thing about the dish- the poached egg was not at all runny and too well-done. The peameal was a bit dry imo, but since I think we were all hungry, we ate it pretty quickly
- Red velvet Pancakes- These pancakes were so delicious! The pancakes were complimented with sweet blueberries and strawberries drizzled with light creamy goodness lol! To be honest, the presentation of this could be a little better as the plate they had used was a little big, but the dish was overall very good.
*just to note, my friend and I were sharing the two dishes; and the portions was just right*
Lastly, the birthday girl wanted fondue so we ordered it after our brunch. We chose the 99% dark chocolate fondue and it came with bananas, grapes, marshmallows, pretzels and macaroon shells for dipping. We shared this between the 5 of us, which was just right especially after our main meal. The only down side of this was the chocolate was not heated; but just came melted.
I definitely would come here for the high tea, dessert and the experience; but brunch is just alright. I do think that this is one of the better high tea places as I did not really enjoy the high tea at Windsor Arms.
By the way, I have to mention the decor as it was super girly and purple, which I absolutely love!
