I will usually start my afternoon
tea from the savoury offerings first. My pick from the savouries are the Unagi
Kabayaki Open Face Sandwich, the unagi has a sweet, smooth, velvety and moist.
Following that fatty and delicious Black Pepper Cod Teriyaki, and not forgetting
the Japanese Braised Pork Belly.

The pork belly is well braised,
firm yet it melts in your mouth. I like the apple sauce topping with tendrils leaf,
as the acidity in the apple sauce together with bitter and nutty undertone
balanced the richness in the dish.

The sweet treats consist of Japanese Sponge Cake, Black Sesame
Tiramisu, Japanese Style Matcha “Swiss Roll”, Strawberry Eclairs, and Green Tea
Panna Cotta.

My pick for the sweet treats is Japanese
Style Matcha “Swiss Roll”. It is creamy, soft and you get the matcha taste at
the end. Following that is Strawberry Éclair which has a soft and delicate
flavour and Green Tea Panna Cotta, where the combination of red bean and green
tea is just so comforting.
