I was recently invited for the
Afternoon tea tasting at Hakkasan located at the magnificent Emirates
Palace.
The Afternoon Tea which is available
between 3 pm to 6 pm everyday is priced at AED 98 and offers a
selection of teas, sweet treats & dim sums. Also if you fancy a glass of
Louis Roedere Brut, you can opt for that for an additional AED 100
The beautiful dessert & display
stand reminded me that of the Aldar Building located in Abu Dhabi (Look at the
picture & you would agree with me *wink*)
This stand however comprised of
Vanilla Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce, Chocolate Macaron, Truffle, Fruit
tarts, Chicken Taro Croquette, Crispy Box Dumpling and
Squid Dim-sum (Had to give this a miss as I'm allergic to
squid, Sigh! Yes, life is not easy without squid in it)
But I absolutely relished everything else, my favorites being the Truffle, Macaron (Hakkasan ALWAYS
does this right) and the Chicken Taro Croquette
Now since I had already tried & tested
the Jasmine Green Tea which I loved (You can tell from the picture below which
is from my last visit) I opted for the Silver Needle which found its origin in
Fujian (China) - It was light, refreshing & rich on the palette.
I don't even need to get into the
ambiance bit because it's Hakkasan we are talking about and Hakkasan is
probably now a synonym to royalty which is depicted through its interiors
largely.
Special shout-out to Akheel, who took
good care of us & made sure we had a good time.
I would rate this a 4/5 - Definitely
recommended for an afternoon out with the girls/ family
