Make That Afternoon Tea at Tiffany's. At Writers Bar...from 2016 and Tea with a French Accent: The Royal Afternoon Tea Series Featuring Marie Antoinette at Writers Bar from 2017). The newest afternoon tea offering is a continuing series in a long tradition of unique experiences at Raffles Makati, this time with a lavish Italian flair.
Taking its cue from previous editions of afternoon tea themes, the #FURLAFternoonTea at The Writers Bar is yet another imaginative concept combining art, style, fashion and tea in one harmonious fusion for a unique afternoon tea experience (for more on Afternoon Tea at The Writers Bar, see my earlier posts, Show Me The Honey: The Honeyholic Afternoon Tea for Two At The Writers Bar in Raffles Makati Hotel from a few months back and Doing It Right: Tea Etiquette at The Writers Bar's Queen Victoria Royal Afternoon Tea from 2017).
