PEI Tea Room

We hit the jackpot when it came to finding a place to eat near our cottage.
The nice lady at the nice gift shop belongs to some kind of club and they go out to eat once a month. So they have tried everything in the area. (We will have to try Miss Daisy's in Summerside. She highly recommended it but you need reservations.) Bonnie, the gift shop lady, told us to try the Blue Winds Tea Room for a real "island experience."
So we did!


It is located in an old island house, which is good!

It was charming!

The dining room


We were there for supper, but I decided that the best way to have room for dessert,
was to eat dessert! This is called New Moon Pudding and is from "The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery Vol. III." It looks like pie but is actually a lemon flavored bread pudding with meringue AND whipped cream. I am not normally wild about lemon but I am always up for trying a historic recipe, especially from Lucy Maud! I even have the recipe - paid 30 cents for it! If you would like to have the recipe, I'll give you a good deal. Haha! Heehee!
I think that a real lemon lover would be wowed by it. It was good!

Doesn't it look like the cook is Japanese? He is and so is his wife.

She is also an artist and made these mini desserts out of clay and then painted them.
I am sure that the prices are for the art work, not the actual desserts.

The husband made the mini cupboard and the wife made and painted the dishes.

I don't know if she made the mini clothes on the mini clothes line.
I bet she did!
What a fun experience and good food too!
I am sure they get all the Japanese tourists that visit the island and there are many of them! Some of the signs were also in Japanese!
