The Butterfly and the Pig

It's been a long time since I had afternoon tea! After sitting on a train for almost four hours, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Glasgow. It's afternoon tea time! Let's try what Scottish afternoon tea tastes like. The name of the store makes people feel inexplicably cute ~ the logo is a little pig chasing a butterfly. The layout of the store is the kind of environment that you imagine a classic English afternoon tea should have. I especially like these lace cups and saucers. The afternoon tea set is 13.95£ per person. Personally, I think it's enough for two girls to order a set for one person. This store has a lot of tea options, from Black tea to Red tea (Hey, isn't black tea just black tea... What is red tea...?) and then to White tea. In the end, I chose Tung Ting Dolong, a Blue tea. Although I don't know what blue tea is and what is the relationship between Dolong and Oolong, the clerk smiled and said that maybe they just wanted to give it a fancy name hahaha! The color and taste of the tea soup are very light, and it doesn't go well with food. The sandwiches are large in size, and my favorite is the chicken salad one. The desserts are not very outstanding, and I like scones the most. It seems that this shop likes to make coconut cake very much. Two small pieces are also given when paying the bill. What impressed me the most was the small dish of pickles. It felt like homemade pickled cucumbers. I usually don’t like pickled cucumbers, but this one didn’t taste too sour because it wasn’t pickled for a long time. Instead, it had a hint of sweetness.

This is a restaurant that mainly serves pork, which is relatively rare in Scotland. The style is a bit like German cuisine. The pork is mainly pork elbows and pork legs, mostly roasted. The style is relatively rough. The quality of the beer is very good, with a strong malt aroma.

Very nice place, very delicious, I will go again if I have the chance.
