Having heard about the famous "bird cage" hightea (also known as "Drop the T") at Woobar @ W Hotel, curiosity finally got the better of me and I enlisted the Bro and SIL to head for afternoon tea there with me. Beautiful decor, a gorgeous poolview and cushy seats made up the other parts of the restaurant / lounge, and we had a window seat overlooking the swimming pool area.

 The elegant silver stand was brought over and they set up the famous "bird cage" three-tiered tray with lots of delectable-looking dessert items. There were seven (7) different items in all, arranged neatly.for our picking; we were informed that the savoury items would be served separately.

 There were Scones complete with marmalade and clotted cream. The scones had a lovely texture to it - just the right amount of hardness so that it was even slightly flakey; absolutely lovely, and gently sweet such that even with the pairing of the cream or marmalade, the scones were still tasty.

 Now what we have here were REAL Cupcakes. After scrapping off / consuming the beautiful swirls of pale pink cream (the cream were strewn with real rose petals), what one got was fluffy, soft orange-flavored cake sitting firmly within the tiny cup - how adorable.

 My favorite was the Chocolate Tart with Foie Gras Ganache, Port Wine and Gold Leaf. While the Bro and SIL found this item to be odd-tasting, I loved it enough to requests for refills, simply because it consisted of all of my favorite things. The dark chocolate crust was crunchy, the rich flavor lending credence to the foie gras paste, a rich pastry that blended lusciousness and savoury flavor very well.
