When I heard the Japanese afternoon-tea will be launched in the Nobu restaurant of Intercontinental hotel , I was amused by the idea of that. Have been obessed with the traditionally English afternoon tea for many years , it was just so excited for me to try some unconventional Japanese tea set.

This was my first time to pay visit to Nobu just for their Japanese afternoon tea and have been advised that the price for the tea set and types of food items will have a little adjustment start from December. The tea time is until 5:00pm and began at 2:30pm. We arrived a bit late around 3:30pm. The restaurant was a little gloomy with dark brown wooden floor but facing the victoria harbour enhanced the exotic atmosphere of the dining area.

 The tea set came with regular green tea, coffee and matcha drink just for $308 for one $508 for two person. With Pierre Jouet Grand Brut would be $488 for one $848 for two person. We ordered one regular drink of Strawberry Matcha and one champagne brut.

When the waiter bring out the tea set and set it with dry ice under the wooden tray , the whole scene turn out to be quite dramatic and dreamy as you can saw the smoke of the dry ice came out from the middle of the tray.

 The staff did detail illustration for the ingredients of the food items and kindly remind me to stir my stawberry matcha for a better taste. My drink was a bit too sweet for me with the strawberry jam added and the matcha flavour was a bit weak while my friend quite enjoy his champagne brut.

 I prefer to begin with scones and waffles first. The Shoyu scone 酱油松饼 was crunchy but taste a little bitter with shoyu flavored. Lightly greased with creamy milky butter tasted more palatable. There are chocolate sauce and pineapple jam to go with the Goma waffles 胡麻窝夫. The thin taste of goma waffles was not crispy enough but spread with the accompanied sauce and jam was just utterly delicious.

 The most delicate light refreshments of the tea set was Hokkadio cheese 北海道芝士 and Salmon jerky sticks 三文鱼干条. The rich taste of cheese paired with the crunchy crackers and the yummy salmon jerky stick both turned out to be irresistible snacks to go with the tea set. Herecame also the Green tea pudding 绿茶红豆布甸 and Wagashi 和菓子 which is both delightful in taste too.

 The Chestnut pastries 栗子蓉糕饼 is kind of tiny pancake with Chestnut puree on top and the Fried dough with grapefruit slice inside was just taste average and not my most preferred desserts. Tamagoykai 玉子烧 flavored in squid sauce with asparagus and eel wrapped inside was not outstanding in taste while I can barely taste the aroma and umami of the Tamagoykai.

 Disappointment came with the Lobster tofu rolls   龙虾豆腐卷 and Okinawa sata andagi 冲绳掦菓子. While the tofu roll taste so bland with lobster meat wrapped inside, perhaps with some olive oil added the whole things turned out to be tasteless and odd in flavour. The okinawa sata andagi appeared to be colorful with berries flavored but actually it was tasteless also.

 Sevice was heart warming and impleccable. Apart from the gorgeous view of Victoria harbour and the presentation of the tea set by using dry ice which bring me pleasureable surprise, the only drawback was some food items have not meet my expectation.
After all , it was definitely a brand new fresh experience to indulge in this unconventional Japanese afternoon-tea.
