Anyone has try their Hi-Tea before ?Most friends and younger relatives may give gifts. But older folks may give Ang pao since you invited them. I am not very sure but if someone give you gifts or ang pao, please accept as it is also consider your big day and it is always polite to accept gifts rather than telling them no you can't accept. Not very nice, in my own consideration.As for the Hi-tea, it is nice! lots of nonya and some chinese/ local cuisine plus western cakes and sashimis, raw oysters, chocolate fondue for all. Went there two months ago and planning to go again next month as their spread is quite good. Remember if you see the satays, grab a bunch. They always finished within mins they are brought out.
