With all the afternoon tea options available in Hong Kong on the daily, it can be tough to zone in on a particular one.
A new afternoon tea set that stands out from the pack comes to us from HUE Dining, an Aussie-inspired restaurant located on the first floor of the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
The eatery’s latest teatime offering is a partnership with renowned manuka honey brand Comvita from New Zealand. We reckon it’s important to boost our immune system now before the flu season strikes, and manuka honey is well known for its potent antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Available until Oct. 13 and priced at HKD440 for two on weekdays and HKD680 for two on weekends and public holidays, chef Ramsey Wong has incorporated Comita’s UMF 5+ manuka honey into the creative sweets and savouries showcased in the Manuka Honey Bliss afternoon tea set.
On the savoury side, we like the sounds of the sweetcorn prawn with fermented chilli chutney and Comvita clover honey butter and salt-baked beetroot tartlet with white miso and peas, accented with Comvita UMF 5+ manuka honey mustard.
Highlights on the sweet side include the honey shortbread with 76% chocolate ganache and whisky-poached pear and burnt Basque cheesecake with Comvita UMF 5+ manuka honey and matcha. Of course, we’ll also be sure to slather our warm-from-the oven honey-infused scones with chef Ramsey’s house-made honey raspberry jam.
To add on a special manuka honey mocktail – the Bee-lini or Manuka Mint Fizz – the cost is HKD55.
Diners will also receive Comvita manuka honey goodies and a 15%-off shopping voucher, while supplies last.
