6/10 plates emptied!期待已久,Carly和Lorling與友人都是愛好甜食之人,但今次Clipper Lounge快船廊的下午茶卻讓我們有點跌眼鏡。稍微對甜品有要求的人,也不會對這裡的下午茶感到滿意。雖然網上的評語說Clipper Lounge的Scones無得輸,但層架上甜點水準失色,亦是不能挽回這一趟下午茶之旅的失望。環境不見到特別舒適,名乎其實的快船廊,餐桌都是沿著走 廊坐的,卻沒有觀景可言。Carly and Lorling have a strong liking for desserts, sweets and any food that makes them happy (well, sugar is always one big component). Carly do have a few favorites in mind when it comes to classy afternoon tea, Mandarin Oriental’s Clipper Lounge has been on our to-try list for so long

圓型的芝士蛋糕算是不錯,夠滑身與厚身,芝士味不是太濃,個人還是最喜歡Tony Wong的輕型版芝士蛋糕。Red Velvet mini cupcake味道可以,cupcake來說,亦不太乾身,算是不俗。
Quiche

I am not able to recall any memory of these savory snacks and hence, I am assuming that I did not find them daunting or thrilling to enjoy for an afternoon tea.
味道中規中矩的quiche和咸點,沒有太多驚喜,不值一提。
Both cakes were dry, very dry that I could not even finish the whole Christmas Cake despite of the Christmas festive mood, the dried fruit was too overpowering but I am sure some people might like the strong mixed fruit taste of apricots, cranberries, and raisins which is considered normal for Christmas cakes.
天啊,這兩款蛋糕開始讓我卻步了。薑橙味朱古力蛋糕本身已不太吸引,味道還算是過得去,但我吃就知道蛋糕弄到太乾,一個叉子叉下去的時候,蛋糕還會乾到散開。英式的聖誕蛋糕乾果味非常重,有些人可能會喜歡,但我吃一口後,還是放棄了。
Scones with Jam

Finally, we couldn’t hold onto ourselves any longer as we saw the scones warmly served to our table, being acclaimed for its scones, Lorling and I were not disappointed and we actually wanted to order another set of scones on the side (abandoning the cake tea set on the side). Scones were not doughy or floury, as soon as you take one bite into it, the edges slightly crumble to the side, leaving the inner scone slightly moist with a butter aroma and savory hint. Highlight was definitely their homemade rose petal jam, the jam was more of a blend of raspberry fruit-based sweetness and rose flowery aroma. Not too over sugary and it complements the buttery scones so well like a harmonic symphony.
終於嘗到了Mandarin Oriental的scones! 有提子乾的和原味的味道分別不太大,但整體的味道絕對值得一讚。暖烘烘的鬆餅送到桌子,吃上口有微微的牛油香卻不會覺得很油膩。重點是翻焗的鬆餅很容易乾身,但快船廊的鬆餅吃到中間還是夠濕潤的,不會吃到得重的麵粉味,牛油與麵粉的比例要剛剛好才能做到鬆軟綿密的口感和效果。
Will I come back again? Sorry but no. All the sandwiches and cakes were mostly below average, the only edible ones were cheesecake and the red velvet cupcake. Scones were unbeatable and the best so far amongst the luxurious hotels like InterContinental and Four Seasons yet let alone there were not mind-blowing that I HAVE to come back again. Mandarin Oriental’s own cake shop might be worth a try but my dessert to-try list is getting too long which is giving me a slight headache. Ahh, time for my sweet kicks.
口味和質量上,這裡的鬆餅確實是無得輸,但足夠我們回來再吃嗎?可能未必吧,下午茶甜點好吃且坐得舒適的地方很多,單是Seasons的甜點和環境都已經把Clipper Lounge比下去。性價比二人份量$508,與一般酒店級下午茶價錢差不多,但要我選的話,會以同等價錢去InterContinental, Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton都無恁嬲,景觀還會開明和舒服得多。
