From September- October, Savor the delights of classic "English High Tea" as you relax in a tranquil oasis above the heart of the city at Zest Bar and Terrace.
There are many ways of taking afternoon tea but only one original – English High Tea – which also happens to be the most elaborate and indulgent.
Inspired by the need for substantial refreshment to bridge the long gap from lunch to the hour English aristocrats would dress for dinner, around 8pm, High Tea is so-named because its comprehensive selections would often demand that it be taken around the main upright dining table rather than low-slung coffee tables in the lounge.
Zest Bar and Terrace's chefs, however, have kept the arrangements compact with the aid of elegant three-tiered silver and porcelain cake stands while restraining the varieties not at all and serving it most comfortably.
The artful array is irresistibly tempting but fortunately there is one of everything for two to share, including:
• English muffin turkey burger with prune butter spread
• Smoked salmon salad on English cucumber slices and quinoa salsa
• Egg salad on multigrain sandwiches with Alfa Alfa sprouts
• Mushroom and spinach Quiche
• Earl gray tea infused vanilla eclair
• Banoffee banana Pie
• English fruit cake
• Traditional English raisin scone with clotted cream and Orange Marmalade
"English High Tea" at Zest Bar & Terrace is available every day throughout September and October 2016 from 12 pm to 6 pm. The delectable indulgence is priced at only THB 813 net per set.
