English Tea House & Restaurant, Jalan Istana, Sandakan

My baby sister took us for afternoon tea at this refurbished British colonial bungalow overlooking Sandakan bay and on its far right was Sulu Sea. The scenery from the tea house was breathtaking and pleasing to the eye and mind. We had tea while the kids had iced lemon tea and hot chocolates. We also ordered a set of Devonshire tea served with tea, scones, sandwiches and mini cakes and slices of cheese cakes and double chocolate cakes to share while enjoying the peace and serenity of nature with magnificent view of the ocean and greenery that surrounds the place.

The scones were served with clotted cream and strawberry jam with the texture of the scones bready and cake-like inside to which I did not favor much, I still prefer it to be light and flaky.

It was a relaxed and chilled afternoon spent with my dad, baby sister, nephews and niece and I wish I could do that more often and thanks to my sister for the treat.
