Another level of afternoon tea
Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok is unveiling a new-look weekend Afternoon Tea concept as part of the hotel’s eighth anniversary celebrations this September.
The new “Afternoon Tea Reimagined” expands this popular English tradition by offering a more substantial selection of savoury and sweet items served course by course, rather than as a one-time tea set on the table.
“We wanted to upgrade and redefine our afternoon tea experience by adding even more elegance and sophistication. Our new weekend afternoon tea is a beautiful orchestration of five set courses served by our staff,” explained executive chef Stefan Trepp. “We have given this concept considerable thought and we have taken great care to create a balanced menu that offers variety, value, quality and enjoyment.”
“Afternoon Tea Reimagined” is a spectacular culinary journey presented in the hotel’s grand lobby and Hanuman Bar. The five-course tea consists of canapes, sandwiches, scones, mini eclairs and mignardises. The canapes include rice cracker with marinated duck, massaman peanut butter and sweet Thai garlic; crispy Thai tea roll; and mini honey with lime matcha cone. The finely-cut sandwiches include smoked salmon and crab rillettes with horseradish butter and lemon, pickled cucumber served with blinis and pumpernickel; and BBQ pork steamed bao with cilantro mayo.
The pastries and delicate desserts range from freshly baked scones served with raspberry preserves, passion fruit curd and clotted cream, a selection of mini eclairs to marshmallow, pralines and assorted macaroons.
“At Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok we recognise the importance of a well-spent week-end afternoon, especially for those who live and work amid the hustle and bustle of busy Bangkok. There is surely no better way to unwind than by enjoying Afternoon Tea Reimagined in the company of family and friends whilst at the same time sipping a cup of delicious aromatic tea,” Trepp continued. “We look forward to welcoming local and international culinary connoisseurs to savour this creative transformation of a fine afternoon tradition.”
Priced at Bt999-plus per person, “Afternoon Tea Reimagined” is available every weekend in September between 2pm and 5pm. A harpist will serenade guests with a tranquil background of musical entertainment every weekend afternoon.
