Four Seasons Hotel's Lobby Lounge is one of the more popular tea places on Hong Kong Island (Mandarin Oriental, Island Shangri-la being the others) where people from all sorts of backgrounds (youngsters, business partners and tai-tais) frequent.
As my friends and I have an affinity for high tea, we decided to have our catch up over tea. We arrived to a small queue, but were seated quite quickly after about 10 minutes wait.

Set for 2 - comes with 2 tea/coffee drinks |
|
Savories |
Very average with a few hits and misses. My favourites were egg salad truffle on toast and the smoked salmon finger sandwich.
|
Sweets |
This tier was largely a miss for me - room temperature, lacked freshness, macarons were wet/soggy and nothing was memorable...
|
Scones - raisin in front; plain at the back. |
Probably the only thing I would consider returning at tea time for, these scones were drier than other ones I've had in Hong Kong yes but warm and crumbly in the middle for you to take advantage of the devonshire cream and apricot and raspberry jams. Hmmm...
Food: ♥♥♥ 1/2 for the scones, ♥♥ for everything else.
Service: ♥♥♥
