AFTERNOON TEA

Chinese Style with Cantonese Refreshments

You must have tried this beverage without milk and sugar. But you may not have tasted the unique refreshments served in a Chinese tea party to which foreign guests are seldom invited.

These light refreshments are generally flavoured with minced meat, shrimps or poultry, neütralized with bamboo shoots or mushrooms to avoid undue richness. They have some kind of pastry covering and are served hot. A large variety is available at our restaurant daily between 11 a.m. and 6.30 p.m., listed in a special menu with English translation.

If you like Chinese food you would like these tea specialties also.
