For those of you who ever find yourself on the Zim/Mozambique border in this magical mountainous land known as the Bvumba…you must must SIMPLY MUST go have high tea (which is kick ass desert for the Yank crowd) at Tony’s. Cannot emphasize enough – as experiences go – forget the London Eye or the Great Wall or even the Pyramids (it’s hot and there’s sand). At Tony’s one would experience a delectable definitive and divine collection of concoctions. Think Willy Wonka or Viene from Chocolat. Now, multiply by about 25!!!
I indulged in the caramel “special”, and not being a foodie (inhaling a box of Somoas at girl scout season is about it for me), the best I can describe is a caramel de leche between a layer of chocolate and cream, and this perfect butter crumbly crust. The presentation made it almost too good to eat. (I said almost).
And the hot chocolates!!! Hot chocolate and cream, hot chocolate with espresso, or ice cream and of course – Chocolat – as the Aztecs intended, with a hint of ginger and chili powder. Truly I now know how Edmund felt when he drank Jadis' chocolate in the Narnian woods!!!
