This review is based on my afternoon tea experience!
If you ever visit Hong Kong, I strongly recommend you to take the time to have an afternoon tea experience at one of their 5 star hotels. You will see how East X West and thus enhanced the overall experience!
During my last visit to Hong Kong April 2017, my sister suggested that we go for afternoon tea at Tiffin. At HK$300+, it might sounds pricey but worth every dollar! Tiffin is located in Grand Hyatt's Hotel Lounge. Love the huge floor to ceiling windows!
You have a choice of cold/hot tea from the menu or if you are not a tea drinker, there are other options too!
The most impressive part is of course the "Afternoon Tea Stand":
- Scones with Clotted Cream, Strawberry Jam, Blood Orange & Ginger Maramlade
- Dulce de Leche Chocolate Crunch Tart
- Mini Green Tea Roll
- Passion Fruit Macaroon, Mascarpone Cream
- Lemon Coconut Cream
- Raspberry Cupcake
- Crab Meat & Cucumber Sandwich
- Boston Lobster & Avocado Tart, Cocktail Sauce
- Homemade Foie Gras Mousse, Chicken Jus Jelly, Lavosh
- Freshly Baked French Chicken & Spring Pea Tart
- Wagyu Beef Burger
- Wild Mushroom Pie with Truffle
We went WOW and AHH when it was served to us and I thought that was "a lot" of food and how we going to finish that?! Then I found out we can have all you can eat gelato, sliced cakes, chocolate dip from chocolate fountain and made to order waffle/crepes?! This is just INSANE!
Unfortunately or fortunately, there is a time frame of when afternoon tea served daily from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. So I cannot stay here forever!
A lot of tourist might ended up going to Peninsular Hotel for their Afternoon Tea since it is the to go place in most tourist guide for it's Colonial history. But since it is first come first serve, the line can be crazy and the room packed during tourist season.
Here at Tiffin, you can make a reservation and enjoy your Afternoon Tea with class and leisure. Is this what the experience suppose to be?
