Traditional afternoon tea has always been dominated by sweets, but if you prefer savory items, you can try the “Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea” at Murray Lane in Hong Kong’s The Murray hotel!
The signature “Scottish Scotch Egg” and “Crispy Beef Tenderloin Pie” have a crunchy texture, while another British specialty dessert, “Yorkshire Pudding,” is served with roasted beef and horseradish cream, and the “Smoked Salmon Mousse” served in a glass is topped with salmon roe.
The “English scones” in afternoon tea also have surprises, with the smoky cheddar cheese made from beech wood adding a rich flavor to the fluffy scones, served with fig jam.
You can also taste a variety of top cheeses such as Stilton cheese, smoked Idiazabal cheese, and Comté cheese. For desserts, there are “Devil’s Chocolate Cake,” “Italian Cheese Pie,” and “Blueberry Tart.” Afternoon tea includes a cup of coffee or tea per person, and you can also add 4 beers for an additional HK$148.
