Belcolade Chocolate Afternoon Tea at Shangri La

Had a relaxing afternoon tea with divine Belcolade chocolate treats designed by chocolatier Stephane Leroux.
It costs $288 for one and $488 for two.

The tea selection was interesting, a huge section of it was Chinese teas so I chose the Tai Hung Po.


The tea had a nice earthy taste which was good when we got to the sweet section because it was good for refreshing the palate.

The tea set arrived with three tiers.



++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Fizzy lemon, cointreau, cocoa butter
Pear praline saffron, chocolate almond
Pistachio, pineapple, pineapple vanilla
Opera hazelnut, chocolate, almond biscuit
++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Raspberry chocolate
Eclat d’éclair, almond crumble, ecuador biscuit
Chocolate brownies, cardamon seed, lime , infusion
Coriander praline
++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Norwegian smoked salmon, sour cream, dill infusion
Duck liver pate, apple, brioche
Iberico ham, tomato ciabatta bread
Poached river prawns, olive oil, spinach bread
Smoked marinated swordfish, foccacia bread
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Warm raisin and plain scones with jam and clotted cream.

Started off with the scones which were surprisingly good because they were crumbly with a moist and firm texture on the inside.

They were delicious with jam and clotted cream.

Then I moved on to the savoury selection which was divine, the duck liver pate on brioche was rich and silky.
The prawn sandwich reminded me of a decent prawn and mayonnaise sandwich in the UK.

My next favourite was the Norwegian smoked salmon with sour cream and dill infusion.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Last but not least, it was chocolate time!!
All of them were great with the strong earthy tea.

My favourite was the Raspberry chocolate.



++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was great spending an afternoon there having tea in the relaxing lounge and catching up for a chat.
