Afternoon tea in the St Regis New York was one of a kind but unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to try when I visit New York. Now, a new branch of The St Regis set foot in Hong Kong. Got to try. The attendants were friendly and all smiley. But I think this restaurant was still very new and needed time to polish their procedure. The waitress started to lay all the utensils one by one when we were seated but never thought of asking us if we need any drinks until we wanted to order. We ordered
The attendants were friendly and all smiley. But I think this restaurant was still very new and needed time to polish their procedure. The waitress started to lay all the utensils one by one when we were seated but never thought of asking us if we need any drinks until we wanted to order. We ordered Moroccan mint tea and a Kyoto tea separately. The cups waited there empty for more than half an hour. We talked more than half and hour without a tea or water. Well I expected they at least offered.
The tea came. And then we were shown on a silver plate the savories and the homemade pastries. We can each choose 4 pieces out of 8 choices from the savory and pastries selection respectively. We were two person so we got all of the choices to try.
The savories came first. All 8 pieces on a long plate. There were king crab, scallop, foie gras, and salmon etc. They looked exquisite and tasted yummy. Only after we finished our savories, the scones were served with cream, butter (rose shape) and jams. All 4 looked plain led but my fed got one with raisins inside. I prefer the raisins but both I got were plain. The pastries were presented as the last part. They well also good, small portion and not too sweety. My favorite one was the Mille feuille.
Surprisingly, I this was the first time I finished all pieces. Should I thanks to the procedure? The arrangement guided me to have savoury first and then scone and then pastry. The waiter said the afternoon tea should presented with a trolley for the guests to choose from.m but the trolleys were not yet ready. Maybe we should go back again. 😂
One thing to notice is at 5:30 pm everyday, guests were gathered to see the champagne sabrage which is a tradition of the St Regis at the entrance of the drawing room. That is to open a champagne with a knife. Go and see and you may he offered a glass of champagne.
