This season’s dessert selection highlights quintessential autumn ingredients, featuring six exquisite delicacies: Tiramisu with Chocolate Sauce and Marsala Ice Cream—the subtle, intoxicating aroma of sweet wine lending classic elegance with a cosy autumn warmth; Pear Mousse with Nut Crispy and Almond Dacquoise—delicate sweetness and smooth texture enhanced by a delightful crunch; Chestnut Cake with Blueberry Compote—creamy chestnut notes harmoniously balanced with the bright, tangy essence of berries; Kiwi, lime Mousse with Pistachio Cookie— artfully balancing the composition’s richness with zesty citrus freshness; Chocolate Ganache with Coco Crumble and Hazelnut —rich and deeply indulgent; Osmanthus Puff with Fermented Rice Jelly and Rice Pudding—elegantly blending the floral subtlety of osmanthus with the gentle umami of traditional Chinese fermented rice, a standout creative highlight of the season.
For this afternoon tea, freshly baked scones feature a unique autumn twist: Osmanthus Pumpkin Scones, served alongside classic plain scones. Accompanied by strawberry jam, lemon curd and Devonshire clotted cream, their golden flaky, crumbly texture releases a refined, ethereal osmanthus fragrance—a perfect finale to an autumn afternoon.
This season’s savoury selection features three artisanal highlights: Sweet Shrimp Carpaccio with Burrata Cheese and Pickled Cucumber—its clean, springy oceanic notes awaken the palate; Parma Ham with Honeyed Fig Jam and Ricotta Cheese—savoury depth and fruity sweetness intertwining on the tongue; Scallop Tartare with Caviar and Green Apple— fresh sweetness enlivened by zesty tang, delivering distinct, layered complexity. Each savoury creation gracefully sets the stage for the warm, evocative narrative of this autumn afternoon tea.
A limited-time autumn experience awaits you.
