Peninsula in Pink
In support of Breast Cancer Awareness, The Peninsula Manila had its "Peninsula in Pink" campaign for the entire month of October, featuring pink-themed promotions including lighting the grand fountain in pink, pink afternoon tea with signature pink desserts and delicacies, and selling of specially designed pink ribbon pin, with a percentage of the proceeds going directly to breast cancer-related charities.
It was just recently when I started to love teas, definitely before I discovered The Lobby's afternoon tea and dessert buffet at The Peninsula Manila. The moment I saw a blog post about it, I was like shouting at my sister, "I want to try this!" Always game that she is, we set the date right away. It has its Peninsula in Pink campaign for the month of October, and oh! I love pink so so much, I can't wait any longer!
Before I proceed with our afternoon tea experience, let me show you around. :)

Then we walked to the enchanting buffet table full of all kinds of bite-sized bits of heavenly sweets!
To set the mood for a lovely afternoon, we were asked to choose from a wide selection of fine teas. It is served in dainty cups and porcelain kettles.
Mine: Pink Flamingo Tea
A graceful TWG blend of green tea with crimson hibiscus blossoms that will brighten your day. This quirky mélange infuses into a rose-colored cup with tart, fruity overtones. |
My sister's: Pink Garden Tea
Regal garden flowers accent this TWG green tea blended with notes of Provencal red fruits. A blooming bouquet as blissful as a summer day. (it's not pink at all, haha.) |
Let’s now go to the selection of cakes and other pastries! We had..
Just in case you're not the sweet-type, they also have canapés, sandwiches, and other bite-sized treats to satisfy your not-so-sweet tooth.
Our (should I say My?) afternoon tea experience was definitely a blast! Thank goodness it was in October, so my sister was required to pay for the bill 'coz it's her birthday month! Hahaha! Hope you enjoyed the experience too, ate!
