Curated by Pastry Chef Pavitra Bangchay, affectionately known as Chef Pom, the afternoon tea set draws inspiration from aromatic herbs, tropical fruits, and delicate floral notes commonly found across Thailand. Every element has been carefully developed to balance flavor, texture, and visual appeal, resulting in a selection that feels both familiar and innovative. The setting at Tuxedo Espresso Bar further enhances the experience, offering a relaxed yet polished environment ideal for social gatherings or quiet moments of indulgence.
A Thoughtful Savoury Opening Inspired by Thai Botanicals
The savoury portion of the afternoon tea provides a flavorful introduction, designed to awaken the palate without overwhelming it. Guests are welcomed with a Spicy Tuna Brioche, an open-faced brioche layered with creamy tuna salad and finished with a refreshing hint of fresh coriander. The Miang Kham Kleeb Bua follows, presenting classic Thai herbal flavors served delicately in lotus petals and paired with traditional Miang Kham sauce.
This Bangkok Hotel Afternoon Tea news report highlights how traditional ingredients have been respectfully reimagined for modern tastes. Lighter notes emerge with the Mint Herb Pouch, featuring tremella mushroom and aromatic herbs wrapped in soft rice paper, served alongside a gently spicy dipping sauce. Completing the savoury offering is a Ginger Cheddar Scone, baked in-house and infused with warming ginger and savoury cheddar, accompanied by jam and cottage cream for balance.
