Lobby Lounge at Conrad transports you into a whimsical wonderland with an afternoon tea experience that's as enchanting as it is delicious. Each delicately crafted treat draws inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, with creative twists on classic flavors that bring a sense of surprise and sophistication to every bite.
The Sweets
The Rabbit in the Hole was a delightful start, featuring an Ivory Whip Ganache with Coconut Malibu Mousse and Gula Melaka Sponge. The Tea O'Clock was a standout with Valrhona Dulcey Chocolate Mousse, Dulcey Ganache, and the softest Tahitian Vanilla Chantilly, layered with a Hazelnut Dacquoise. For chocolate lovers, The Hatter offered a rich Komuntu 80% Chocolate Mousse with hints of brandy cherry and Kirsch Chantilly, creating a deep, indulgent flavor.
Savouries to Match
On the savory side, the Cheshire Purra sandwich roll with gravlax, crème fraîche, and beetroot pearls was refreshing and unique. The Scarlet Queen brought an intense creaminess with Oabika Nyangbo Cremeux, Vanilla Mousse, and Almond Joconde. Other notables included the Little Oinker Iberico Croquettes, crispy and flavorful with a hint of fermented garlic, and the Secret Garden tapioca ink crisp topped with avocado purée, orange fluid, and basil caviar for a playful bite.
The experience was rounded off with classic homemade scones, both plain and raisin, served with wild strawberry jam and clotted cream – a comforting nod to tradition amidst the imaginative spread.
Service was exceptional, with attentive staff ensuring our tea was constantly topped up. With free-flowing TWG tea and Bacha coffee, Lobby Lounge at Conrad's Whimsical Wonderland Afternoon Tea is a journey well worth taking.
