SPD4459 [Nostalgia懷舊篇] 陸羽茶室Luk Yu Tea House - by Natalie

Hello everyone! It is nostalgic Saturday again. Today i will bring you to another tradition tea house which is called Luk Yu. I think most of you have heard about that!

Luk Yu Tea House founded in 1933, that is a really historical tea house.

There are total three floors in this building. Each floor has three separated rooms. And all the furniture inside are made by sandal wood and padauk wood, which are very valuable among the Chinese-style furniture.

Like other Chinese tea house, they have similar types of food offered. Nothing very special, but the environment made the whole meals fantastic :)

Shrimp Dumplings

Super big size "Bun with Cantonese Barbecue-flavored pork meat"

Vegetable Dumplings

 This soup is the "Must Order" item in the tea house.

Soup with almond and the lungs of pig - 杏汁豬肺湯

Black sesame roll

Overall, we were satisfied with the food and also the environment very much. Although we don't have a big surprise at all, we think that the services and atmosphere is very well. It is a good place for you and your family to enjoy an afternoon tea or dinner. Come and Try~

SPD4459 [Dessert甜品篇] SEVVA - by Jun

If you're not contented with the previous desserts I recommended before, if you want something "high", then you have to pay attention to this post(!!), coz I am going to recommend you to have a high tea in SEVVA. (However, this time I will not introduce desserts only coz desserts were just a part of the whole tea set.)

Previously, I introduced Cake's Secrets 詩餅坊, and the chef of Cake's Secrets 詩餅坊 is a former SEVVA's chef, that's why Cake's Secrets' quality is guaranteed.

However, what Cake's Secrets cannot be mentioned in the same breath is the environment and atmosphere here. SEVVA has indoor and outdoor area.

As a fine dining restaurant, SEVVA's interior as well as its exterior design are both excellent. You can comfortably enjoy the amazing Central's view while having your great and relaxing afternoon tea here. What a wonderful afternoon!

SEVVA has 2 options for the high tea set. One is signature high tea set, and another one is vegetarian high tea set. This time, I would like to introduce signature high tea set. Here is the menu.

Here is the tea set and the Central's view as a natural background. :D

The tea set has 3 layers. Now I am going to introduce one by one from top to bottom.

Top

Mini Crab Cake Burger: It's interesting as the buns were black. There were crab cake, tomato, onions and lettuce between the black buns. It was crispy and delicious.

Vegetable Spring Rolls: The wrapper was thin so it's decently OK.

Toasted Crumpet with Smoked Salmon & Chive Cream Cheese: The smoked salmon was fresh and the cream cheese matched with the taste of Salmon. Good but nothing impressive.

Middle

Mini Short Rip Burger: The beef was cooked medium rare, nice! The red onion piece made the burger more fresh-tasting.

Chicken Roll Sandwich: It's funny coz it was wrapped like a candy. But the taste was like tuna rather than chicken. Overall, it was still good.

Ms.B's Turkey & Salad Sandwich: SEVVA used whole grain bread, the taste is good but a little bit dry and tough to eat.

Bottom

The Original Caramel Crunch Cake: It's delicious! This is SEVVA's signature cake and I didn't disappointed. It was light, the sponge cake was soft and fluffy and the cream was milky! Good!

Mini Mont Blanc: The cake was made with pureed chestnut and a meringue biscuit. It was light and not too sweet. Tasty!

Pineapple Carrot Cake: It's also delicious! A lot of carrot in it but I couldn't taste pineapple. (?_?)

Chocolate Fudge Cake with Marmalade: Very good! I love chocolate and this was exactly my cup of tea, and the taste was rich and not too sweet so nothing to complain.

Cigar Wafer Cookies: Not bad! Light and crunchy with a vanilla taste.

Overall speaking, the quality is good and the taste of the desserts are OK and personally speaking, they were better than the burgers and sandwiches. However, the price is quite expensive, after all SEVVA's a fine dining restaurant and the environment and atmosphere here are included in the price. So, if you want to have some "high" desserts along with Central's amazing view, SEVVA is a good choice.
