    你啲心態都幾得意，食西餐就話人崇洋扮高尚，喺溫哥華有咁多唔同嘅美食，緊係咩國家嘅嘢都試吓。唔該你哋托闊吓自己嘅眼界啦。
中國snack？我好歡迎你喺中國食完寫個review返嚟。

It is a bit confusing.
The so called High Tea is the mini meal for working class before supper;
consisted of mostly savory item, Cornish Pasties, Chicken Patties or
Pork Pies etc. not so high class at all.
The chic  tea and pastries, delicate ribbon sandwich set  served in  3-Tiersfine bone china and is called Afternoon tea, served at 2:30 pm.
the only thing in common is that they both served with tea.

    I think I'm referring to the afternoon tea (between 2pm-5-ish). But here most places called it "high tea"...so I guess it's more interchangeable now? Or it's just my misconception.

According to British custom,  Afternoon tea and High Tea
are  totally different, High Tea is for working class.
The term  "  Tea"  would referred as Meal, as
" Pudding" for all desserts, including some sliced oranges.
but in N. America, everything goes, I've seen Vietnamese
Salad roll served at High Tea.
Well,  I appreciated everything properly prepared with heart.

    Yeah, I like going for afternoon tea (that sounds like the proper name) as the portion is small and I like different scones and pastry.

As for scones I tried to make at home...it's a DISASTER.... 可以擲得死人。Didn't put more effort in it since then.

Alas,  Lavender Scones, Strawberry Shortcakes, and Cream Biscuits,
they are  closed related

    I made scones in my Home Economics Class before, the result is just bad. I didn't try shortcakes or other recipes.

I think I'd rather bake "cake"... it's easier to manage...

    So you are newly grad.
    It is not difficult at all, just to understand the idea.
    The problem is that scones do not keep well,
     they dry out in few hours. (that is, the good home made one,
     commercial one keeps for a week easily.)
