seaweed brioche with miso/parmesan whipped butter; karelian pie with egg-butter, chestnut soup/ sushi/ xo scallops with radish/ crispy fried xo shrimp cracker/ strawberry rhubarb panna cotta & strawberry calpis sorbet/ sake & citrus madeleine & hazelnut coffee sandwich/ ‘so much soy’ sandwich - if you’re bored of having the usual traditional afternoon tea, arbor’s nordic-japanese afternoon tea is the way to go! apart from the karelian pie (they used chewy japanese rice for the filling!) & seaweed brioche (both add-ons, pre-order required), the sake/citrus madeleine and the hazelnut coffee sandwich were my favourite courses of the menu! the madeleine was one of the best I’ve had in Hong Kong! the sandwich was basically made up of dacquoise shells that had a crunchy outer layer and chewy texture on the inside, sandwiching a hazelnut/coffee filling, which was a combination of bitter, sweet and savoury! the sandwich was covered in caramelised hazelnuts and powdered sugar but surprisingly, it wasn’t as sweet as I thought it would be! their chestnut soup & xo scallop were also pretty good! basically, I was happy with everything 😂 they also gave us an extra karelian pie, a full portion of the seaweed brioche & the signature ‘so much soy’ sandwich (salted egg yolk & soy sauce filling, coated with soybeans!) for takeaway!!! so gooood I finished them when I got home that night 🤰🏻 - 8/10 #arbor #2fattrolls中環 #2fattrollshk

Christmas Day may already have come and gone, but Santa might still be lingering at @arborhk which recently hosted a Nordic Christmas afternoon tea with a helping hand from @mr_mrs_marshmallow i.e. the husband-wife duo of @eric.raty and @chucaan . Featuring traditional delights from Finland (which is one of the places where Santa is rumoured to live - much more believable than a house in the North Pole 😂), the cool tones of the view from the full length windows added to the Scandinavian vibes of the afternoon tea. Favourites from the various Mr and Mrs Marshmallow pop-ups around town over the past few months feature on the menu, including a traditional Karelian pie (a Finnish pastry with a cheesy, carby filling) paired with egg butter. This time, clever additions of mentaiko and a pickle add another dimension to the otherwise signature item. Plump meatballs utilise the fattier cuts of pork neck and belly for a round delight bursting with flavour. Signature sake lees madeleines and hazelnut-coffee sandwich round off the meal, alongside a cute gingerbread man with chocolate and candied ginger filling. Whisked away to a Winter Wonderland! ———— 🎅🏻 A Nordic Christmas 📍Arbor (2 Michelin ⭐️) X Mr & Mrs Marshmallow 🇭🇰 25/F, H Queens, Central ———— #dflCentral #dflHK
