Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge on the 2nd level of Takashimaya is apparently a haven for rich tai-tais to have a cuppa and rest their weary feet after a morning or afternoon of shopping. I rarely go there for tea or dessert as I much prefer Toast, but when there is nowhere else to go, it will do in a pinch.
Celest and I got there around 815pm, with 45mins to go before they are closed. We were tired from walking around after watching Brokeback Mountain. We were not hungry as we had a late lunch, so we just ordered Uva tea and shared a slice of green tea cake.
It is a quiet place, with the gentle chinking of cutlery against the royal copenhagen plates and cups. The whole premise is set around the use of the Royal Copenhagen crockery, to use the delicate floral patterned fine china for tea or meals. When we were there, they changed the crockery to the year series, instead of the usual (due to too many breakage).
