On 6th May, I took mum for an early mother's day celebration at L'ESPRESSO for an afternoon tea. There were two timings. We chose the one at 12pm, hence more of lunch for us. With HSBC Wow deals of 1-1, it was definitely a good deal. Most importantly, spending time with mum was the top priority.
With a sumptuous spread of food, we were spoilt for choice. For local delights, there were sandwiches, croissants, scones, salad and cheese.
