Having tried the afternoon tea here twice, I must say that this is indeed one of the best places in town that offers exquisite quality food that does not bore me as its menu rotate every season.I was mesmerized by the galore of Mediterranean dishes and desserts at the latest summer themed afternoon tea at Chihuly Lounge.

I was mesmerized by the galore of Mediterranean dishes and desserts at the latest summer themed afternoon tea at Chihuly Lounge. The ten new whimsical desserts nearly tricked not only my taste buds but also my eyes. From Olive Macaron Starfish to Seaweed Slippers in cherry orange tones, those petite sweets definitely awakened my inner kid and drift you into a beautiful sandy landscape by a romantic sea.
Remember to pop one of their silvered pearls (caramel truffles) into your mouth and you know this is worth more than the real thing. The bursting flow of Salted Caramel is irresistible. I was quite impressed with the Rosemary Panna Cotta with Peach Jelly as it was so luxuriantly creamy that it did not disintegrate instantly in the mouth.
The Mediterranean focus extends to savoury delights and one of the must-try is the fist-sized Moroccan Style Stew Stuffed Chicken Wings permeated with herbaceous notes of coriander and some perky sour lemon. The innovative vegetable yellow pot was actually Roasted Yellow Squash stuffed with Pimiento and Manchego Cheese. Another of my favourite was the Batata Harra (Spicy Potato). It may resemble any other potato wedges but has absorbed the essence of garlic, chilli and olive oil.
Not just food, the service here is excellent, such that you can feel that every guest there is respected.More than just whimsical. It's simply Mediterranean Magic. Try at least once if you haven't. Trust me, you won't regret.
