The Interior of the store is very grand and old-english style. Huge hanging chandeliers set on high ceilings, tins of cookies,tea,coffee all around the shop.
On the first level is The gallery and The fountain. Both have menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. On the other levels are a wine bar, ice cream and dessert palour. Lastly on the highest floor is the most talked about Diamond Jubilee Tea Saloon. They are different Tea menu at 41pounds. Really expensive for a high tea. I will probably go there one day when I'm feeling rich and havent got any shopping to be done.
For now, I will just have lunch and some dessert at the Fountain. I was wow-ed by the interior of the entrance and bar area. Absoloutely my kind of place.
It was quite funny how my friend commented there was many old people around. I glanced around. Indeed there were many elderly dining here, but I was like hey doesn't it add to the authentic english feel? It's better than seeing many tourists around, it just loses the essence of the place.
Ordered a Leek and Potato soup. Then, this lady came with a rattan basket incribed with F&M, which opened up to a selected of 4 kinds of bread - Wheat, white, fruit, nuts. That's pretty interesting.
My tea came in the most beautiful tea set I've ever seen. Makes the whole dining experience like a princess.
