High Tea Weekend
26/01/2010
We went to Sassafras, Mount Dandenong, a couple of weekends ago, just a short 1 hour leisure drive from Melbourne.
This part of town is always great for some browsing and a spot of vintage shopping…
Our favourite piece: A vintage wooden Michelin Man rocking a cigar…
The last time we came the line that snaked around Miss Marples Tea Room was intimidating, however, this time around we were determined to a table. This place, crowded as it always is, does not accept reservations. We had to leave our names and come back at a certain designated time.
Miss Marples Tea Room (after much googling) is a memorabilia gallery of Agatha Christie’s fictional character (Leo and I embarrassingly thought that it was some old English lady whom, post WWII for some reason ended up in this part of the world and decided to open up an english tea house!)
Miss Marples’ famous jam, which went very well with the scones later on…
Quaint english setting with pink tea rose table cloths….
Exposed wooden beams, framed vintage prints of Miss Marples, old teapots and waitresses in black dresses and white aprons whizzing in and out of the kitchens with mountains of food…
The scones I had were a little bit dry but we might just brave the crowds and drop by again for the giant sundaes =)
