Floral Honey Afternoon Tea at Cafe Lagoon

Escape the summer heat and indulge in a delightful afternoon tea surrounded by lush greenery! I recently invited a friend to join me for a sweet Afternoon Tea experience at Gold Coast. Whenever I visit Gold Coast in Tuen Mun, the Gold Coast Hotel always comes to mind for dining. The restaurant offers a comfortable ambiance and high-quality food that never disappoints. This time, we enjoyed afternoon tea at Cafe Lagoon within the hotel. The hotel has partnered with the car-sharing platform GoSwap to launch the honey-themed "Floral Honey Afternoon Tea." The set includes four savory and four sweet treats, along with English scones. The presentation is charming, and the portions are quite generous, leaving you fully satisfied. The afternoon tea comes with freshly brewed coffee or tea, but for an additional $98, you can upgrade to two glasses of sparkling tea. With five options available, I couldn’t resist upgrading. I chose the Rose Sparkling Butterfly Pea Tea, which was refreshingly crisp with a subtle floral aroma—absolutely delightful! My friend opted for the Yuzu Sparkling Genmaicha, a perfect choice for those who love fruity flavors. The tea was infused with the fragrance of yuzu and wasn’t overly sweet, making it both refreshing and captivating. After enjoying the refreshing drinks, it was time to savor the delicious afternoon tea treats. The four savory items looked incredibly tempting, featuring both seafood and meat to satisfy any craving. The Smoked Salmon Rose Toast with Honey Mustard Sauce was a standout. The smooth and rich smoked salmon paired with the slightly tangy honey mustard sauce and topped with flavorful black caviar brought the taste of the ocean to life—absolutely delicious. The Honey-Glazed Abalone was tender and well-seasoned, with a hint of honey sweetness that made it irresistibly flavorful. The Duck Liver Mousse Waffle with Honey Apple was another highlight. The waffle was dense and eggy, topped with creamy duck liver mousse and crisp honey apple slices, creating a rich and savory taste. The Honey BBQ Chicken Roll was wrapped in a chewy flatbread filled with flavorful BBQ chicken—a surprising and memorable dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. Moving on to the four exquisite sweet treats, each infused with honey for a delightful sweetness. The Honey Scones served with clotted cream and strawberry jam were a classic combination that never fails. The Lime Honey Cheesecake was incredibly smooth, with a tangy lime and honey flavor that made it impossible to resist. The Poached Pear with Honey Cream Puff featured a soft puff filled with honey cream and topped with sweet poached pear—a light and refreshing dessert. The Mango Honey Mousse Cake was perfect for those who love sweet and tangy flavors. The unique mango aroma combined with the creamy mousse cake was simply delectable. The Yuzu Honey Panna Cotta was a refreshing treat, with the citrusy yuzu paired with soothing honey, giving the panna cotta a distinctive and delightful flavor. During the promotional period, guests who enjoy this afternoon tea set will also receive an exclusive GoSwap gift pack, which includes a honey-scented car diffuser, a cozy blanket, and a 60% discount coupon for car rentals on the GoSwap platform. The Floral Honey Afternoon Tea is priced at $628 for two people and is available until June 30.
