The Okura Prestige Bangkok presents Lavender Delight Afternoon Tea

The Okura Prestige Bangkok introduces their renowned afternoon tea set quarterly. Each innovative tea set is the creation of their talented pastry chefs at the Hotel. For this quarter (July-September 2017), The Okura Prestige Bangkok proudly presents another impressive afternoon tea set at Up & Above – Lavender Delight Afternoon Tea. This beautiful, romantically violet afternoon tea set is an inspiration from the scented lavender flowers, which “colorize” Furano, Hokkaido during summer. The beauty of this lavender field is vividly captured in this afternoon tea set and become an irresistible temptation for epicureans’ indulgence.

Highlights of the Lavender Delight Afternoon Tea introduced by The Okura Prestige Bangkok

The Lavender Delight Afternoon Tea features lavender macarons with blueberry, lavender and chocolate; wild blueberry jam & cream roll; quark cheesecake; cream daifuku; lavender & blueberry tartlet with blueberry custard; and black currant & lavender scones. All make the perfect companion to a cup of rich illy coffee or freshly brewed premium Saro and Mariage Frères tea. Savoury highlights include white asparagus crème brûlée with lemon zest; smoked salmon and cucumber sandwich on pumpernickel; crab rémoulade vol-au-vent with caviar; and fresh goat cheese and tapenade with red pepper and olive crouton. These scrumptious offerings pair beautifully with a glass of chilled Champagne or Prosecco.

Afternoon tea experience at The Okura Prestige Bangkok

The afternoon tea experience at the Okura Prestige Bangkok has restored my faith that quality afternoon tea does exist. In the past, honestly, I seldom had an enjoyable afternoon tea experience. I was suspicious of the sandwich and sweets in the 3-tiered tray. ‘Was it the leftovers from the lunch buffet?’ always came to the mind the moment I ate one of the cakes from the tray.

What I experienced at The Okura Prestige Bangkok was the freshest food in an unconventional presentation. From the paper placemat to the decoration on the dining table, the theme colour of the Lavender Delight Afternoon Tea was elegantly pronounced. From the moment we were at the Up & Above to the moment we finished the Lavender Delight Afternoon Tea, I found no flaws in terms of services and dining ambience. The high ceiling and breathtaking view of the city centre elevated my afternoon tea experience to its finest!
