MO Bar at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong is renowned for its contemporary and fashionable afternoon teas, and the latest collaboration sees the creative chefs working with British designer Stella McCartney to offer Hong Kong’s first ever organic and vegetarian afternoon tea throughout the month of March.
Featuring savoury bites, mini pastries, light-as-feather scones and a sweet temptation cupcake buffet with a choice of JING tea or coffee, the HKD 200 (plus 10% service charge) tea set has become the definitive Hong Kong afternoon treat.
What makes MO Bar’s afternoon teas even more popular are the collaborations with some of the world’s most prestigious brands whereby the creative minds from the kitchens of MO Bar create delicious dishes inspired by fashion collections or fragrances of luxury brands such as Marc Jacobs, Chloe, Guerlain and Jo Malone.
As Stella McCartney is a lifelong vegetarian, MO Bar’s chefs stayed true to her beliefs by creating a delicious vegetarian menu using organic ingredients while at the same time taking inspiration from her British roots and her Spring/Summer 2011 collections.
“Eco-friendly fashion is on every fashionista’s wish list nowadays and British designer Stella McCartney is leading the pack with her vegan-friendly and feminine designs. We are delighted to be working with this brand,” said Sidney Schutte, Executive Sous Chef at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental.
In line with the strong belief that people can go green in every aspect of life, Stella McCartney’s collections eschew leather and fur whilst retaining her signature style of sharp tailoring, natural confidence and sexy femininity.
Taking their inspiration from some of Stella’s personal favourite vegetarian treats, and the botanical citrus print in her recent collection, the chefs have created a series of special Stella McCartney cupcakes, and guests are invited to choose their favourites from the sweet temptation buffet.
The Stella McCartney tea set will include mouth-watering bites such as Beetroot, Goat Cheese and Hazelnut Gratinated Toast, Quiche with Eggplant and Stilton, Whole Wheat and Corinthian
Raisin Scones with Clotted Cream served with Home Made Organic Jams and Golden Bramley and Cinnamon Crumble, many of which are Stella McCartney’s personal favourites. The tea set will also include a Stella McCartney inspired cupcake buffet and a choice of JING tea or coffee. All guests will receive a special gift set from Stella McCartney with the tea set (while stocks last).
Afternoon tea is served from 3 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. from Mondays to Saturdays and 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. on Sundays. Reservations are recommended and guests can book on +852 2132 0077 or via e-mail at lmhkg-mobar@mohg.com.
Afternoon teas at MO Bar offer a delightful respite during a busy day. MO Bar’s afternoon teas change every month to take advantage of the best of the season’s offerings, giving guests new and exciting taste experiences with every visit.
