Bloomsbury's

Mario has been sick over the weekend so I thought we will be housebound for two days. But yesterday late afternoon, he said he is feeling better and requested to go malling, our usual weekend activity. So off we went to Al Wahda Mall. So far this mall has been awarded as no. 1 mall in Abu Dhabi. See for yourself why...

The ambiance feels so great and very classy. So it just feels right that in the middle of the mall sprang Bloomsbury's. It's a new cupcake store with a tie-up from Bea's of Bloomsbury, "London's most fashionable Bakery". What's new? According to Abu Dhabi week magazine,' Bloomsbury's aims to combine Eastern and Western flavours to create indulgent cupcakes with a contemporary British twist...' 


So entering Bloomsbury's is like going into a different dimension...

I checked out their displays...

 

  

 We ordered German chocolate cupcake for Mario, chocolate as usual, and mine is one of their all-time fave Diabetics' dream. It's a banana cake with cream cheese on top and pecan nuts..

 And i ordered English black tea. Very nice presentation...

  

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me" - CS Lewis

The tea, made of fresh leaves in a bag, is dipped inside this delicate tea pot and is timed before drinking. You can ask for more hot water for second or third infusions. 

So busog!

Mario doesn't want his picture taken coz' he looks ill...Anyway, i enjoyed eating the cakes as much as the tea and will definitely go back. Though with Mario, it's just so, so...I swear I need to exercise after this treat =)
