Seeing the good reviews in Openrice regarding their afternoon tea sets, I was holding a pretty high expectation on their food quality. Knowing they are promoting the autumn tea series of afternoon tea sets, I made a reservation instantly. Afternoon tea theme this time was a collaboration with Tea Cháteau, signature their special tea drinks and infusing variety flavours in their food. We have requested their chrysanthemum pu'er and osmanthus oolong. Afternoon tea canapés weren't presented as the menu displayed while it was presented in traditional layers. Didn't give a big wow factor, mostly because the food colour wasn't as vibrant. Garlic beef cubes were terrible. One was tough while the other one was rubbery. Not sure what cut it was as menu didn't show. For sure overcook. No garlic flavour but savoury. Sprinkled with spring onions. It was a terrible start.Flying fish roe, shrimp and egg salad on toast In Chrysanthemum Pu'er Tea flavour was another disappointment. Apart from whole dish had no tea flavour, shrimp was too soft to the point mushed while biting. Fish roe was bland. Egg salad was a saucy one. Just a typical egg salad. Will be much tastier if adding herbs or cracked black pepper. Toast at least crunchy and toasted.Uji matcha tea seaweed fried shrimp roll was the most disappointing canapés among four. Neither tea flavour nor deep fried flavour could be tasted or seen. It wasn't battered at all. Seaweed was chewy. Shrimp paste was rubbery like fish ball. It was tasteless. Neither could I taste the shrimp nor the seaweed. It was truly a disaster. Korean strawberry and tuna tart was finally put to right among the savouries. Tuna cubes were marinated with a hint of strawberry. Fishy and light with a hint of strawberry flavour. Crust was a perfect shortbread crust. Both were perfectly matched. A delightful bite. Base on their crust, I hope the upcoming sweets would be more promising. Osmanthus oolong mousse cake was light and floral. Osmanthus was visually on the cake's top layer. Not much oolong tea flavour but osmanthus. Cake was very airy. Appreciated the cake wasn't cream base. Mousse was smooth but not much tea or floral taste, just sweet. Uji matcha and korean strawberry madeleine cake was surprisingly good. I was expecting some kind of strawberries extract or fresh strawberry mixing with the cake batter, in fact a matcha madeleine coated with strawberry chocolate. Madeleine was buttery while balanced so well with the bitterness of matcha. Strawberry chocolate gave the sweetness for the whole cake. It was finally a delicious sweetness. Uji matcha tea and cheese tart was another saving bite. Apart from no cheese flavour or texture tasted, personally I would describe as crème. Tart crust again promising. Buttery and perfect shortbread crust. Matcha mousse was incredibly smooth. Earthy with a hint of sweetness. Crumbly cookie texture with buttery flavour matched paired so well with the bitterness of the matcha flavour. It was a nice one.Korean strawberry scone was not bad. Not too dense nor dry, kept its crumble. Clotted cream was served in two flavours, matcha and strawberry. Matcha was smooth and again a strong matcha earthy taste. Matched well with the scone while strawberry one, not much flavour. Scone had no strawberry flavour except the pink colour. It's just an original scone with pink colouring. Chrysanthemum pu'er and osmanthus oolong tea were calming and aromatic. It was delightful to pair with afternoon tea canapés.Overall, it's such a shame that both Tea Chateau flavours and monkey's café signature couldn't be highlighted. I could tell their desserts delivered were with quality and matcha ones were well balanced, nevertheless savoury fare definitely requiring improvements. Or else, deliver their signatures instead. Great pity.

跟Honey一起15年了，當時他不在香港，所以今天補慶祝。選了在英皇酒店staycation，所以就在酒店餐廳吃晚飯慶祝。事先在openrice訂座，因為晚飯套餐於openrice訂座，可以獲75折。後來入座時，侍應告訴我，房客可獲得7折，幾好喎！雖然餐廳不大，但是人不多，只有兩三枱客，所以好清靜。即使正價吃晚飯套餐也不貴，更何況房客有7折，真抵！我不喜歡熱湯，所以我選了雞肉凱撒沙律。這個沙律好好味，菜新鮮，有不少芝士，而且酸酸甜甜的，好開胃。餐包也好味，熱哄哄的，外脆內軟。Honey喜歡熱湯，我嚐了一口，真的熱辣辣的，creamy的南瓜湯。主菜，Honey點了鐵板鴛鴦扒。這個鴛鴦扒，實在讓人有點失望。$258，只有半塊豬扒、半塊牛扒，而且醬汁和肉的質素，和大X樂、大X活差不多。唯一可取，是薯條新鮮炸起，粗條，幾好。我就點了菠菜雞肉忌廉意粉。這個才是酒店質素嘛！忌廉醬汁很濃稠，濃濃的芝士味，但又配以菠菜，解解膩。而且，雞肉並不「嚡」口。這個意粉就好好！冷熱咖啡都夠濃。朱古力慕絲蛋糕，好味，不太甜。不過，已經太飽了。雖然鴛鴦扒有點不足，但整體晚餐經歷好。環境、侍應、服務、食物質素、價錢性價比……都不錯！可惜，酒店位置不方便，否則，我會常來的。P.S.侍應態度好好，尤其女侍應，值得一讚！謝謝妳！

୨୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ୨୧High Tea係女仔都鍾意食，今次我就專程去到駿景酒店地下嘅《Monkey Cafe》享用下午茶Tea Set。最近《Monkey Cafe》就聯乘著名茶飲Tea Château 推出「望夏·茶果清香」下午茶。首先可以從Tea Château 嘅三款精選茶葉選擇兩款，我就揀左焙茶和櫻花茶，茶香回甘，啱哂同甜嘢一齊食。下午茶Tea set總共有八款小食：韓國士多啤梨吞拿魚撻香脆嘅撻皮，加入吞拿魚肉、士多啤梨和食用花，充滿魚鮨香和士多啤梨嘅甜味。蒜香一口牛一口牛粒經過香煎，表面又有淡淡焦香，肉質軟腍又有肉味。飛魚籽海蝦蛋沙律多士香脆嘅多士上面覆蓋住海蝦、飛魚籽和蛋沙律，充滿鹹香。宇治抹茶紫菜炸蝦卷好創新嘅做法，加入左宇治抹茶可以減輕油膩感。櫻花茶韓國士多啤梨慕絲蛋糕超過五層嘅設計，上面有一塊櫻花造型嘅，口感鬆軟又有士多啤梨嘅甜香。宇治抹茶芝士撻充滿芝士香又有宇治抹茶嘅順滑口感。宇治抹茶韓國士多啤梨瑪德蓮蛋糕瑪德蓮蛋糕外層香脆，內層口感同樣鬆軟。味道同時品嘗到宇治抹茶和韓國士多啤梨味道，一啲都唔膩。韓國士多啤梨鬆餅配奶油忌廉鬆餅配上兩款味道嘅奶油忌廉，分別係宇治抹茶和士多啤梨味。個人就比較鍾意宇治抹茶，食完有種回甘嘅味道。如果唔想錯過其他好介紹，記得follow我呀😘多謝大家！！！你嘅支持就係我嘅動力！記得點讚❤️

Monkey Cafe 5-8月聯乘著名茗茶品牌 TEA CHATEAU以宇治抹茶🍵➕士多啤梨🍓入饌，推出茶x果下午茶💚💗 一共8款食物，4款甜4款鹹.❥韓國士多啤梨鬆餅配奶油忌廉：細細個唔會好飽滯，外層香脆中間鬆化，鬆餅帶微微粉紅色💕但同平日個啲差唔多味☺️.❥宇治抹茶韓國士多啤梨瑪德蓮蛋糕：瑪德蓮口感濕潤鬆軟，可惜食唔到抹茶味🍵，外殼有士多啤梨百力滋嗰種味🍓，有趣！.❥宇治抹茶芝士撻：口感軟滑，有宇治抹茶香💚.❥櫻花茶韓國士多啤梨慕絲蛋糕：蛋糕口感鬆軟細膩🍰，不過以甜味為主，食唔到櫻花茶香🌸有啲可惜.❥蒜香一口牛：牛脂甘香🥩，食落有牛味.❥宇治抹茶紫菜炸蝦卷：爽口彈牙😎，紫菜同鮮蝦嘅香味突出🦐，好食👍🏻！唯一係食唔到落咗抹茶醬👉🏻👈🏻～.❥飛魚籽海蝦蛋沙律多士：香脆嘅多士上有蝦肉、蛋沙律同飛魚籽，味道豐富❤️🔥！.❥韓國士多啤梨吞拿魚撻：撻皮夠脆🙌🏻，中間釀咗酸酸甜甜嘅士多啤梨同吞拿魚🍓🐟， 未算有驚喜.下午茶包咗2杯咖啡/特色茶飲，我哋揀咗焙茶同宇治抹茶🍵，飲落幾甘香，可以解膩。.整體味道唔錯，份量唔算好多但以呢個價錢都合理唯一係抹茶同士多啤梨呢個主題唔夠突出

見到餐廳做緊promotion 有8折，雖然地點有點偏遠（灣仔和銅鑼灣中間），未試過又貪新鮮，即管訂位和朋友試一試。餐廳在錫克廟旁邊，帶點寧靜的感覺。酒店大堂一入就會見到～餐廳幾乎沒有其他客人，我們像包場一樣。職員都很友善。下午茶架的食物只有八款，比一般的茶架的數量少，於是我們點了下午茶架和一份小食拼盤，拼盤是沒有8折的～下午茶的咸點算不錯，有原隻鮑魚算係咁，甜點就比較普通～最有趣的是第一次吃tea配支裝可樂😹如果不要可樂，可以轉茶。這裡的茶是一杯的（沒茶包），不是一壺呢～下午茶單：香芒龍蝦米紙卷煙三文魚牛油果撻雜菌鮑魚酥盒香芒朱古力撻番芒慕絲蛋糕精選馬卡龍芒果鬆餅配果醬及奶油忌廉支裝可樂咖啡或茶小食拼盤$128（水牛雞翼、洋蔥圈、玉米片及春卷）以酒店來說價錢算公道，本來配洋蔥圈的，但酒店說沒有了，於是轉了薯條～可能我們都比較喜歡吃香口嘢，覺得比下午茶架的食物更吸引😹玉米片有加芝士的，挺好吃的～全程吃了兩個多小時，間中只有一兩枱酒店客人入來飲杯野，如果想寧靜和朋友聊天，又不介意地點偏遠，值得推薦喔。
