Conrad Hong Kong's Lobby Lounge "Midsummer Mint Chocolate Dream"

A paradise for mint lovers. This summer, Conrad Hong Kong's Lobby Lounge is launching the city's first-ever mint chocolate-themed afternoon tea 🎊 "Midsummer Mint Chocolate Dream" 🤟🏻 As a mint chocolate enthusiast, I rushed to try it out, and it did not disappoint! From exquisite desserts to creative savory dishes, every item was full of surprises. Plus, you get a complimentary box of Mint Crispy Dark Chocolate 🎁—such a great deal! 😆 Mint Crispy Dark Chocolate Gift Box (Complimentary!) 🍫💚 This chocolate is undoubtedly the MVP of the entire afternoon tea 🥇. Crafted by the hotel's pastry chef Ason, it features Belgian dark chocolate mixed with refreshing mint sauce and crispy Middle Eastern pastry strands for added texture. Each bite offers a perfect collision of rich chocolate and cool mint 💥, with a delightful crunch that makes it addictive! The 190g thick gift box is highly refined and Instagram-worthy 📸. Savory Dishes 🍴 Mint Salmon Spread Sandwich 🥪 The salmon spread is smooth and rich, and when mixed with mint, the flavor is instantly elevated with a refreshing touch. Topped with salmon roe that bursts with juice 💦, the combination of fish oil aroma and mint freshness is surprisingly harmonious—savory yet not greasy! Cream Cheese Cucumber Roll with Mint Tea Jelly 🥒 This dish is incredibly refreshing! Cucumber wraps around slightly salty cream cheese, offering a creamy yet crisp texture. The highlight is the mint tea jelly on top, with subtle tea aroma and mint coolness that leaves your palate feeling fresh! Mint Shrimp Tart with Coconut Pineapple Salsa 🦐 Shrimp seasoned with Cajun spices and mint is lightly grilled, delivering a unique blend of spicy and cool flavors. The tart base is crispy, topped with coconut pineapple salsa for a tropical sweet-and-sour vibe 🌴. Each bite is bursting with complex layers of flavor! Desserts 🍴 Mint Chocolate Mousse Cake 🍰 This cake's appearance is already a winner! The glossy dark chocolate mirror glaze is so smooth it reflects light ✨, adorned with mint green patterns for decoration—so exquisite you almost don't want to eat it. Inside, the cake features dense mint chocolate mousse with chocolate bits, offering a rich texture. The mousse has just the right sweetness, with mint's freshness complementing rather than overpowering the chocolate's richness. Not cloying at all—highly recommended! French Mint Strawberry Puff 🍓 The puff's exterior is crispy, filled with silky strawberry jam and mint cream, perfectly balancing sweet and tangy flavors. The fruity aroma and mint's subtle coolness pair wonderfully, making it light and ideal for summer! Mint Chocolate Crunch Cone 🍦 Shaped like a mini ice cream cone—so cute! The cone is filled with mint cream, mint chocolate crisps, and chocolate bits. Each bite starts with the crispy cone, followed by the creamy filling, and ends with the crunchy surprise—such a rich texture! It feels like enjoying a premium version of mint chocolate ice cream. Mint Chocolate Panna Cotta 🍮 A silky smooth panna cotta! Its velvety texture melts in your mouth, with a strong milk aroma subtly complemented by mint, not overpowering. The overall flavor is refreshing with a hint of sweetness, leaving a cool sensation in your throat—perfect for summer ❄️! Classic English Scones 🥧 (with Mint Cream & Chocolate Sauce) Scones are the soul of afternoon tea! Conrad's scones are golden and crispy on the outside, soft inside, with raisins for added texture. The highlight is their special mint cream 🍃, which is smooth with a refreshing mint aroma, paired with rich yet not overly sweet chocolate sauce. Together with the scones, it's simply unbeatable! Fresh Mint Tea ☕️ (Perfect for cleansing the palate) After indulging in so many desserts, a sip of fresh mint tea instantly refreshes 🌿. Its natural mint aroma is soothing and cools your throat—great for cleansing the palate! For an extra chill vibe, you can upgrade to champagne 🍾 for a slightly tipsy afternoon indulgence. 💯 Overall Rating: 9/10! A must-try for mint lovers! This afternoon tea is visually and tastefully surprising, with every dish thoughtfully crafted. The balance between mint and chocolate is excellent, without any medicinal taste! The savory dishes are equally impressive—refreshing yet not monotonous 🎉.
