After months of procrastination, Me and my friend finally made the step to actually book for afternoon tea at the Clipper Lounge, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong. It did not disappoint our expectations at all.Tea Set for Two (HK$488+10% for two persons)Sandwiches-Because my friend was a vegetarian, we kindly asked the waiter to change some of the meat choices into the cucumber and egg salad sandwich.

Tea Set for Two (HK$488+10% for two persons)
Sandwiches-Because my friend was a vegetarian, we kindly asked the waiter to change some of the meat choices into the cucumber and egg salad sandwich. The sandwiches tasted fine and the cucumber was cut so thinly but it was still crispy.
Warm pastries-
The second tier were some warm pastries such as puff pastry and quiche, cheese bread.
Desserts-The third tier were four different sweets: American cheesecake, cassis mousse cake, a chocolate hazelnut layered cake, and a coffee glazed finger puff pastry. In my opinion, I didn’t find the dessert that surprising but I liked the salty snacks more.
Last but not least, the whole purpose of us coming for a visit was for these freshly made babies since we are both scone lovers. I couldn’t emphasize enough that these scones were the best I’ve had so far out of all the afternoon teas I’ve tried throughout HK. The scones were still warm and soft when we ate it, the rose petal jam and the clotted cream were surprisingly tasty and weren’t too sweet at all! I was amazed its unique flavor and the richness of the jam, the rose scent smelt really good it made my mood really good after the meal.
The scones were definitely the star of the whole tea set, but altogether I’d give it a relatively high score and the price was quite reasonable with such good food quality.
