Have planned for trying high tea here more than half yr since new chef came with new menu. Select sunshine wkend to drop by. The afternoon tea is 3-6pm on wkday and 2-6pm on wkend but no reservation is allowed. We arrived hotel 145pm while there had been ~15guests ahead of us. Seating started from 150pm and it took 15min till we're arranged for seating at seaview sofa table.Envrionment is excellent, very spacious area with fabulous seaview oversight the whole Victoria Harbour, HK Exhibition hall
Select sunshine wkend to drop by. The afternoon tea is 3-6pm on wkday and 2-6pm on wkend but no reservation is allowed. We arrived hotel 145pm while there had been ~15guests ahead of us. Seating started from 150pm and it took 15min till we're arranged for seating at seaview sofa table.
Envrionment is excellent, very spacious area with fabulous seaview oversight the whole Victoria Harbour, HK Exhibition hall, IFC. The ceiling is semi glass-made with sunllight shed through. And table lay-out was friendly to allow privacy, won't be too crowded (as Penisula).
Service was extraordinory, from seating arrangement, order taking, serving table, refill water, etc. Smile and patience filled with every waiter/waitress. Back to food itself. The restaurant offered 3 tea sets:
Inter-Continental Tea Set -$488 for two
Champagne Tea Set- $828 for two (all same as inter-con just with additional two glasses of champagne)
The Red Box Chinese tea set -$488 for two.
We selected the traditional Inter-Con Tea Set with Marco Polo and Eros tea and both were great.
Tea Set was presented in 3-layer tray but in arch shape (more traditional style) with warm scones in seperate elegent silver basket. top layer: clotted cream, strawberry jam and raspberry jam. But i still liked clotted cream served best with warm scone. Scone (4 piece) is the highlight of the whole tea set. Full of cream flavor, texture wise well condensed but not stick, fresh and warm. perfect English-style scone.
mid-layer: desserts selection: Lemon cheesecake (bestCoffee Almond Chocolate Cake strong coffee flavor filled with lots of chocolate crunches inside. special chocolate cake. Texture is very tender.
Lemon Cheese Cake ~ strong cheese flavor but well balanced with refreshing lemon outer layer.
Toffee Vanilla Cream Puff ~Puff was fresh stuffed with vanilla cream.
Raspberry Ispahan ~ it tastes more as sponge cake, not creamy or strong in raspberry flavor.
Yuza Chocolate Tart ~ too sweet
low-layer: pastries: Iberian Ham & Mozzarella Bun ~ Just ordinary bun but served with ham (ham itself was good).
Caviar Egg Salad Buttered Brioche ~ Caviar portion was generous but not strong flavor, egg salad was light。
Roasted Chicken Waldorf Bread ~ minced chicken is a bit tough in flavor and again bread is not fresh enough。
Dungeness Crabmeat Mini Bagel: i like the crabmea but again not the bagel itsef.
In terms of envrionment and service, worth visiting definitely. However, in terms of quality of high tea itself, maybe not worth visiting 2nd time.
