🥢SEASONAL SAVOURIES
🦪Braised Abalone in Puff Pastry: Abalone has nice flavours. Would be better if the puff pastry could have a bit more flakey texture🐷Mini Pineapple Bun with Barbecue Pork: A nice treat but would be better if it was warmer
🧇Black Truffle and Foie Gras Egg Waffle: The black truffle aroma really stood out. The egg waffle could be a bit crispier
🐟Deep-fried Wu Gok with Salted Fish: Nice it did not have that fishy salted fish aroma
🥪Salty Wagyu Beef Cheek and Egg Sando: Good it was not too salty. Again, would be better if it could be warmer and the toast could be crispier
🍬ORIENTAL PASTRIES BY CHEF MANDY SIU
🍰Tie Guan Yin Buckwheat Cheesecake: Loved the tea aroma in the cheesecake 🧁Asian Citrus & Jasmine Tea Mousse Cake: A good balance of the tangy flavours and the tea
🍋Yuzu Osmanthus Summer Mont Blanc: Loved the nice yuzu flavours. Would be nicer if the osmanthus aroma could stand out a bit more
🍮White Lotus Seed Salted Caramel Choux: This was a bit too sweet in my opinion
🍪Sesame & Peanut Duo Soft Cookie: The sesame flavours were very strong
👩🏻🍳BAKERY & HOMEMADE PRESERVES
🍴Classic Scone & Salted Egg Yolk Scone Served with:
🥛 Yin Yang Sesame & Milk Jam
🍰French Strawberry & Goji Jam
🧈Devonshire Clotted Cream
Scones were alright. The sesame and milk jam were very creative. The texture of the French Strawberry & Goji jam could be a bit thicker.💭OVERALL THOUGHTS
👍🏻A very creative afternoon tea set blending in oriental elements
🤩The afternoon tea set was beautifully presented with a Chinese inspired basket
🥢Would be better if the savoury treats can be warmer and the crispy treats can have more crisp
🍭The sweet treats were nice that made good use of different tea elements
