(Hong Kong February 28, 2018) — Spring has Sprung! To celebrate this beautiful season, Executive Chef Cano Chan and Mixologist Vincent Ng of Gradini Ristorante E Bar Italiano have joined hands to launch a Spring Blossom Afternoon Tea Set (HK$188/person) along with a duo of floral-infused cocktails (HK$108 each).
The bright and vivid Spring Blossom Afternoon Tea Set features a scrumptious spread of patisseries which are elegantly displayed in a vintage glass jewelry box. In echo to the hotel’s fashion of “East meets West, Heritage meets Modernity”, all items in the set are a blend of Western and Asian design. Start with the succulent side that includes “Lobster seafood vol-au-vent”, “Smoked salmon mousse on squid ink bread”, “Mini sausage roll” and local favorite, Hong Kong-styled “Barbecued pork puff”. For the sweet side, Chef Cano has artfully infused a variety of edible flowers for floral desserts that include “Crispy charcoal sponge cake with lavender mousse”, “Rose panna cotta”, and the Chinese classics of “Osmanthus jelly and “Chrysanthemum, wolfberries and longan jelly” – and ” all waft with spring floral aroma to indulge diners’ sense. Finally, not to be missed is the restaurant’s signature Classic Tiramisu.
Adjacent to the dining room stands Gradini Bar, where Mixologist Vincent has created two stylish cocktail creations infused with rose and lavender. Combined with Crème de rose, Bombay dry gin, lime juice, egg white and sugar syrup, the rosy Amore is as satisfying as it is fragrant. Bella is a blend of Absolut citron, crème de violette, homemade kaffir lime syrup, ginger ale, lime juice and lavender, which both smells and tastes delicious.
