Revel in the arrival of fall and immerse in the beauty of wild spaces with the seasonal afternoon tea at The Lounge of JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, presented in collaboration with the luxurious French beauty brand, Chantecaille. Available from 3 October to 30 November 2022, the afternoon tea will take diners on a gastronomic journey to the wild nature.
Applauded for their core philosophy of caring for the endangered environment and the animals at risk, Chantecaille’s latest philanthropic cosmetics collection supports the conservation of Black Jaguars from Amazonia and Cougars from Yellowstone. Paying tribute to the habitat of the two elusive big cats and aiming to raise awareness of protecting wild nature, JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong partners with Chantecaille to curate a themed afternoon tea with the finest ingredients at The Lounge.
Start the leisurely afternoon with a delightful welcome drink, Osmanthus Oolong Bliss Tea. Served in a three-tiered silver stand, the afternoon tea is brimmed with gorgeously crafted treats inspired by Chantecaille’s fall collection. Feast your eyes and palate with the hearty sweet morsels. The adorable Black Sesame Madeleine is shaped as cat paws and made with Japanese black sesame to impart a nutty flavour with a hint of sweetness. Grapefruit Fromage Blanc Cake is decorated with Black Jaguar and Cougar to echo the initiatives. The light and soft cake will intrigue your taste bud with grapefruit jelly and creamy fromage blanc cheese. The scarlet-red Cherry Chocolate with an “autumn leaf” almond biscuit underneath is layered with dark chocolate, Griotte cherry and kirsch chocolate sponge cake. Chestnut Iyokan is a harmonious combination of mascarpone cream, chestnut paste, aqua jelly, iyokan compote and almond biscuit. The delicate Vanilla Macaron & Matcha Macaron printed with the brand’s logo offer an extra touch of sweetness to the afternoon tea.
Seafood lovers will be pampered by a list of exquisite savouries made with fresh seasonal produce. Lobster Salad with Mango Dressing is a refreshing treat with succulent Boston lobster meat in an appetising sauce. Inside the crunchy and flaky shell of Tiger Prawn Spring Roll is juicy meat from a whole tiger prawn wrapped in shrimp paste, served with a sweet and sour sauce. Seared Scallop with Lemon & Cherry Gel brings out the natural sweetness of the tender scallop. The Chinese-style Abalone Tart is lavishly made with South African 14-head abalone. Simple yet delicious, Smoked Salmon Toast with Cream Cheese & Dill is rich in texture and umaminess. Freshen up your palate with the vegetarian Cucumber Sandwich with Honey Walnut Sour Cream.
Homemade raisin scones and plain scones, served with jam and clotted cream, complement the afternoon tea experience. Sip on a cup of Tea WG fine tea or freshly brewed coffee, or elevate the experience with some sparkles by adding a glass of Moët & Chandon Champagne at an extra HK$120.
