Chocolate buffet, Clipper's Lounge, Mandarin Oriental HK

HK$228 for one and $388 for two. Why don't you bring one more friend to enjoy a Sunday Chocolate tea buffet at the Clipper's Lounge. Starts from 3pm til 5:30pm every Sunday.

1. the table. 2. the array of chocolate, chocolate cakes and other chocolate delicacies.

3. Pretty nice presentation. 4. Choco drink station with something more to spice up your mix.

5. Mandarin's flower tea - quite fragrant. 6. I would love to have an Earl Grey to go with choco.
7. First round. I forgot each name of it but in general all are good though a bit too sweet to me. 8. Other than choco., some sandwiches are served. Didn't expect the sandwiches are so good. The most fascinating one is the egg and cucumber. Even the filling varies on the outside flavour. Much detailed!

9. it's a nice tray. 10. raspberry sweet - good to have something as a break. This one is with some fruity wine. Quite a match to the choco. mood. 11. More Earl Grey.
12. Freshly baked scones. Perfect and on the side, it's the renowned MO's rose petal preserve! Wow, the rose fragrance is superb! Highly recommended. 13. More more choco... On the left, it's the choco. pie with refined sea salt. This is somewhat challenging. If the sea salt is not nice, so easy to taste that from the contrast of dark choco. So the Chef simply chose this way to let the guests taste the best refined sea salt. Very clever and confident.

14. My mix of spicy hot choco. drink with a choco. spoon. Lovely and my taste buds were drunk already. 15. The final one - another delight to make the nuts stand out from the choco. mousse.

MO again? Choco buffet again? I really envy you. So many choices of different choco.
How do you compare this with the one at Author's Lounge in MO-BKK?

Clipper's Lounge and Blue Bar are on my most regular visits. Sometimes I would jump in and check if they have seats. Normally it takes 2-3 weeks for booking. My next visit at Clipper's Lounge will be 3rd May next Monday. :)

SS, I can't compare it since I haven't yet got a chance of trying Author's Lounge. Sigh... don't know when we can go to BKK again.... :(

at least not before the red-shirts been dispersed

OK, if we meet later in BKK let us go to Author's lounge together. I would like to eat the choco buffet again if time allows.
Yes, I hope the red show end before August at least if not earlier.

Clipper's Lounge may hv wider selection on chocolate stuffs and tidbits, but Author's Lounge serves Mariage Freres teas ..

I think both are good but each one is unique.

Yes, at least the tea is different. :) I think the atmosphere is also very different. MOHK is more classic city style and Author's Lounge is more artistic and ambient.

That is the beauty of MO. Each MO has its own style and theme and yet the good service is standardized and consistent.
