It's spring, its time for green fingers

Lobby Lounge (Wan Chai)
Thanks to the Luk Kwok hotel for inviting me to try their new tea sets and THE PLANT~

Located on the ground floor of the spacious Luk Kwok hotel lobby, it is a relaxing place to have drinks and tea.

Tried the high tea set ($168 for two), various tea sets ($70 per person) and the new PLANT dessert.



All of the above comes with drinks and I chose my favourite English breakfast tea.

English breakfast tea:
The tea was made with fresh leaves hence it had maximum tea flavour.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
High tea set:
This was a three tiered stand, but for photographic purposes I have only taken photos of each tier.
There was a plate of fried items, a plate of finger sandwiches and a plate of sweet treats with scones and cheesecakes accompanied with jam and cream.





My favourites were the curry samosa with raita dip, finger sandwiches, and scones which tasted perfect with cream and jam.

The Plant:
It was basically a sawdust pudding in that bowl garnished with grounded hazelnuts, biscuit crumbs, chocolate pebbles with a sprig on Rosemary in the centre.
I really liked it because it was fun to eat.
It would be good if there was more grounded hazelnuts because I love hazelnuts.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Seafood green curry and rice:
The green curry was really nice and not too spicy served in a cute clay pot.
The curry sauce was really delicious with the fries.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Club sandwich:
Delicious club sandwiches with fries.
I thought the portion was quite big for one person!
The sandwiches had egg, ham, tomato and lettuce in them.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crab cakes:
The crab cakes were delicious and the diced cucumber tasted nice together.
The sweet chili sauce is optional because it tastes nice with or without it.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled beef and chicken satays:
The beef and chicken satay were well marinated, they both had strong cumin taste.
The satay sauce was a bit sweet and the peanut taste could be stronger.
