Mayfair Hotel's speculator high tea
High Tea anyone?!
If you're in Adelaide, then you absolutely must check out Mayfair Hotel's speculator high tea. During my stay over Adelaide Fashion Festival, I experienced the most lavish (yet reasonable priced) high tea I have ever experienced.
In the most elegant downstairs area, you'll be whisked away to a French Provincial style high tea area, where there's also a dining area for lunch or iced coffees!
Greeted by the hosts, we sat at our table, and started the event with champagne, followed by savoury and sweets that were not only pretty but tasty too! Both sweet and savoury were real yum, which is hard to find. For me, it’s usually one or the other, but both were on point this time around!
Their desserts are actually made from Mayfair's very own honey! In fact, they have their own Bee hive area on the roof top!
We enjoyed our food with a large pot of English breakfast, which was served in fine Wedgwood china because nothing else will do at a high tea after all. We then tried chocolate cake off the signature french gateaux buffet, which was out of this world.
With service at a supreme level, there wasn't ever a moment we weren't attended to. I had such a beautiful time, and if you're in Adelaide Foxes, you have to try this place out.
High Tea starts at $39 per person, which includes sparkling. Plus, if you add an additional $10 per person, you have anything off the french gateaux buffet!

Curious for what this fox ate?
We first started with the fresh chicken rice paper rolls
It’s not only super tasty chicken with herbs and lettuce, but the spicy coconut dipping sauce electrifies your taste buds wanting more!
A great starter and very refreshing.
Banh Khot
Turmeric and coconut pancakes!
This was a crunchy delight! Full of flavour and texture
it’s turmeric and coconut pancakes, they’re mini and crunchy. Wrap them in the lettuce leaves and enjoy!
Finishing with our two mains!
Caramel Pork Belly
Absolutely mouth watering, this is served in a hot pot and it’s full of flavour. Inside the hotpot are a soft egg, pickled chilli, spring onion, black pepper and crackling. The pork literally melts in your mouth once you’ve taken a bite.
I’m craving to go back for this one, it’s delish, great for a cold winter night.
Chicken wings
Get your fingers sticky with this delish chicken wings cooked with
fish sauce caramel, sticky rice, burnt onions, house pickles, herbs.

Trinitas Thai
You might be like me and have never experienced Thai, or maybe it’s your favourite food; either way I’ve found the place for you.
Renowned TV presenter Lee Chan invited a few of her closest friends, each talented women in their own careers, to a beautiful dinner at Trinitas Thai.
Located in leafy suburban Camberwell, away from the hustle and bustle of busy Melbourne city, it creates the perfect mood for catch ups with friends or dinner dates.
During the night, we feasted on the most scrumptious of treats, each dish with a unique flavour and a kick of spice! My favourite was the Thai prawn ravioli with lemongrass, galangal infused coconut sauce! It was absolutely delish!
Along with desert was the Thai fried banana balls with caramel sauce; another favourite.
