DRINK: Tea not wine


The hardest-won or most sought after Brownie Points will often come from her mother. She’s the all-important Other Woman you need to continually impress. Treating her daughter well should be a given. Whenever you see her, engaging in conversation and taking a genuine interest are also mandatories.

But how can you really cement your place amongst the ‘wonderful’ ex, her sister’s new boyfriend or the ‘lovely’ and long-time family friend?

Time to take tea. Send them off for a delicious afternoon of mother-daughter bonding over High Tea. Even the least girly-girl will love it when there’s tier upon tier, layer upon layer or buffet-me-up sweet and savoury delights on offer.

Here are the top 3 sweet spots:

1. The Observatory Hotel, CBD – choose from the traditional tea or a unique range of High Tea experiences

2. The Victoria Room, Darlinghurst – always accommodating larger groups so if mother and daughter share the same lack of conversational volume control, noise and loud laughter is welcome

3. The Intercontinental Hotel, CBD - for the amazing buffet including your own chef-at-the-ready with freshly prepared crepes or waffles

Whether your (future or existing) mother-in-law is Helen Mirren-incarnate, a socially-reborn ‘Kath and Kim’ divorcee or a more motherly and matronly Mrs Doubtfire, they will equally love the experience.

Brownie Points P.A memo: Expect to fork out around $35-40pp minimum but what price freedom? Not only do you score in the Brownie Points department, you also score a free Saturday or Sunday afternoon to yourself.
