Essential Macau | Best theme afternoon tea in town

Summer has come and it’s raining fire outside. It's the perfect time to just stay in air-conditioned places. Accordingly, restaurants and cafes in resorts have prepared an
array of lovely theme afternoon teas for you to escape the heat.

Pink Gold & Black Pearls

Inspired by a 18K rose gold teapot pendant design by Red Princess and Chinese
jewellery designer Wan Bao Bao, The St. Regis Bar has launched this jewellery-inspired
Pink Gold & Black Pearls afternoon tea set.

The luxurious afternoon tea set starts with two freshly baked scones topped with gold
leaf, which is perfect to pair with the selected tea.

Ladies must be crazy about the upcoming pinky desserts; to bring out the theme, the menu features a delectable selection of rose meringues stuffed with cherry jam, strawberry cheese cupcake, raspberry with gold chocolate bar and many exquisite sweet treats.Considering those gentlemen accompanying their dearest, this menu also includes many savouries such as Baikal caviar; smoked bacon and puff pastry twist plus aged parma ham with melon.

Moreover, if you take a creative photo of a special edition teapot cookie while enjoying
the tea set and upload it to Instagram at #stregiswanbaobao you can get a chance to
extend this deluxe experience with a limited edition Bao Bao Wan pendant and an all-
inclusive one-night stay in a St. Regis suite.

Address: The St. Regis Bar, The Manor, 1/F, The St. Regis Macao Hotel, Cotai Central
