It currently has a Language of Flowers Afternoon Tea menu ($50++ to $52++) which runs till 31 July 2024. It’s one of the prettiest high tea sets I’ve ever seen.
The menu is said to explore floriography—the art of conveying messages through flowers. I did expect the sweets to be all flower-themed, both in terms of flavour and aesthetic, but I didn’t expect the savouries too to be floral. A “Yellow Daisy” Crab Rillette sandwich on brioche bread, anyone?
