A Flavorful Journey Celebrating Spring

Swallows Returning at Spring Dawn
The Vanilla Chantilly with Colourful Sponge captures the essence of spring mornings, reminiscent of swallows soaring through the sky. Each bite of this rainbow-hued cake offers the freshness and lightness of the season.

Fish Leaping in Spring Pool
Inspired by graceful goldfish kites, the Mango Pomelo Mousse beautifully blends sweet mango, tangy grapefruit, and aromatic coconut milk, evoking the imagery of fish dancing in spring waters.

Bamboo Breeze in Spring Melody
The Longjing Tea Soybean Milk Delight harmonizes the refined flavors of Longjing tea and silky soybean milk mousse. Inspired by the elegance of bamboo, this dessert offers a calming blend of green hues and delicate tea aroma.

The afternoon tea also features savory treats such as crab salad with caviar, quinoa asparagus with hummus, and a variety of fine teas.

Cultural Enrichment and Kite-Making Workshops

To further enhance the cultural experience, Wei Guoqiu, the fourth-generation inheritor of Kite Wei, will lead kite-making workshops every Saturday at 2:00 pm. Guests can learn the traditional art of kite making and painting, creating their own kites while gaining insights into this ancient craft.
