You know how I like my afternoon tea and the latest to catch my eye is one inspired by designer Marc Jacobs at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong.
The fashionable afternoon tea is based on the shape, colour, print and texture of the iconic Lindy handbag from Marc's autumn 2012 collection with features like the pretty bow and autumn collection hues incorporated into beautiful cakes.
'We are excited to be working with this gorgeous classic collection of Marc Jacobs, The Lindy, which is youthful and lovable,' said Sidney Schutte, executive sous chef at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental.
'When creating the tea set, we were inspired by the feminine bow and the punk mini stud infused with 80s style as well as the warm solid colour tone in this autumn’s collection.
'We instill these design elements through the use of refined details and contemporary colours in the delicious pastries and savouries, reinterpreting the sweet yet sophisticated style of the handbag.'
The Marc Jacobs tea set features savoury bites, including Beetroot Horseradish Ravioli, Smoked Turkey Spinach Quiche and Cucumber Cream Cheese Ribbon on Crispy Sour Dough Cracker. The sweets include a mini Marc Jacobs Mocktail, Pistachio Biscuit layered with Strawberry Mousse, Grand Cru Manjari Mousse with Chocolate Marzipan and MO Bar’s signature light-as-a-feather (and perfect for fashionistas watching their weight!) Ginger and Raisin Scones.
The afternoon tea is available from 1 to 30 September in the MO Bar. It costs from HKD200 (£16.50) per person including a three-tier tea set, cake buffet and a choice of JING tea or coffee. You'll also receive a special Marc Jacobs gift set (while stocks last)!
