Mothers Day Activities in Hong Kong
Afternoon Tea together with Mom
If you and your mother are a gourmet in sweets, try the afternoon tea in the Butterfly Room because it never fails you with all the savory sandwiches, pastries, and desserts they have.
It’s located inside the Rosewood Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.
The course is introduced with the traditional finger sandwiches, with a cake stand filled with pastries with the classic scones (their orange jams are heavenly). The 3 varieties of pastries and chocolates (was my favorite) came after that. I recommend you to go with an empty stomach because the portions are a lot. Their desserts change seasonally so it would be a nice surprise to see what they offer!
They only accept bookings on 1st of every month and are booked really quickly. Make sure to plan ahead for this afternoon tea!
Price Range: $550 ~ $850 per person
