Hong Kong: Afternoon tea på Café 103 på Ritz-Carlton

Afternoon tea at Café 103, the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

På min sista dag i Hong Kong regnade det hela dagen. Jag checkade ut från hotellet vid middagstid, men min flygning var inte förrän sent på kvällen, och min ursprungliga plan om att gå en promenad längs vattnet verkade inte så attraktiv längre, så istället ringde jag Ritz-Carlton i Hong Kong och bokade bord för afternoon tea på Café 103.

Jag fick et bord långt ifrån fönstren, så även om jag befann mig på 103:e våningen hade jag inte riktigt någon utsikt. Istället gav personalen mig olika magasiner, som jag kunde bläddra i.

Förutom vyn (eller bristen på samma) var det en riktigt bra afternoon tea. Först skulle jag välja vilket te jag ville ha, och det var svårare än det låter med så många olika sorter att välja mellan. Efter att ha frågat servitören, som visade sig vara lite av ett te-proff, bestämde jag mig slutligen för Sakura Sakura-teet, som var ett grönt te med körsbärsblommor och en mild, blommig smak.

Ritz-Carlton i Hong Kong är känd för at samarbeta med kockar och olika gourmet-märken om att skapa afternoon tea-menyn. När jag var där, var afternoon tea-menyn i samarbete med lyx-godismärket Sugarfina (känd för vingummi-björnar med alkohol), och en av desserterna jag fick var en champagnekräm med jordgubbar och en champagne-vingummibjörn. Det smakade jättegott och jag kunde lätt ha ätit fler 🙂

Det var ett trevligt sätt att tillbringa en eftermiddag, men nästa gång ska jag försöka få ett bord med bättre utsikt. Jag kollade runt lite online, och det verkar som att The Lounge & Bar, som ligger på 102:e våningen och som också serverar eftermiddagste, har flera bord med utsikt, så det är kanske ett bättre alternativ. Annars finns det alltid Ozone, som är den vackra baren på 118:e våningen på Ritz-Carlton.

  • On my last day in Hong Kong it was pouring down. I had to check out from the hotel at noon, but my flight was not until the evening, and my original plan to go for a walk along the water did not seem very attractive. Instead I called The Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong and made a reservation for the afternoon tea at Café 103. My table was far from the floor-to-ceiling windows, so even though I was on the 103rd floor, I did not have much of a view. Instead they provided me with different kinds of magazine, so I wouldn’t get bored during my afternoon tea for one. Except for the view (or the lack of it), it was a really nice afternoon tea. First, I was asked to pick the tea I wanted, and it was more difficult than it sounds, because there were so many different kinds to choose among. After consulting the waiter, who turned out to be very well-versed in teas, I finally decided on the Sakura Sakura tea, which was a green tea with cherry blossoms and a mild and flowery flavor. The Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong are known for collaborations with chefs and different gourmet brands for the afternoon tea, and when I was there, the menu was made in collaboration with luxury candy store Sugarfina, which are particularly known for boozy gummy bears. One of the desserts I had was a champagne cream with strawberry topped with a champagne-infused gummy bear, and it was exquisite. I could have eaten a whole family of those bears:) It was a nice way to spend the afternoon but next time I go, I will try to get a table with a better view. I did a little online research, and it seems like The Lounge & Bar, which is on the 102nd floor and also serves afternoon tea, has more window tables available, so maybe they are a better choice. Otherwise, there is always Ozone, which is the beautiful bar on the 118th floor at the Ritz-Carlton.
