A RELISHING GETAWAY TO JAPAN

Although we cannot set foot in Japan these days, we can still transcend our heart and soul in the new Fukuoka Afternoon Tea offered by supreme French pastry brand DALLOYAU, guaranteeing a scrumptious and satisfying gastronomic journey of timeless quality and a touch of Fukuoka without having to travel.

Apart from French-inspired afternoon tea morsels including Smoked Salmon Tart, Duck Foie Gras Sandwich, Prawn, Mango & Tomato Tart, Mini Ham & Cheese Croissant, Rose Opéra and traditional scones, the tea set also encompasses specialty delights from Fukuoka, such as Tofu Matcha Choux, Apple Turnover with Japanese Miso, Crêpe Suzette with Amanatsu Orange and Crêpe Suzette with Amanatsu Orange, delivering a touch of Fukuoka.

Tofu Matcha Choux, light, airy choux pastry filled with silky tofu cream and Yame matcha from Fukuoka for a richer umami and full-bodied fragrance compared with the well known Uji matcha, tempting you to take another bite. Apple Turnover with Japanese Miso, freshly baked apple turnover with Fukuoka apple miso, the perfect midday pastry with a good balance of sweet and saltiness, is rich in flavours.

Crêpe Suzette with Amanatsu Orange, featuring seasonal Fukuoka Amanatsu Orange for a brighter flavour in place of blood orange, adding a twist to the French classic. Last but not least, complete this delectable afternoon tea experience with Fukuoka Strawberry Macaron, the sweet marriage of jam made with dainty Fukuoka strawberries and DALLOYAU’s original macaron formula with freshly grounded almond paste and a low reliance on sugar, giving an endless aftertaste.

Once the Covid epidemic has passed, we can travel to the furthest part of the globe, yet I will still hold a piece of Japan in my heart.
