Volcano Durian Afternoon Tea
Experience Hong Kong's first-ever Volcano Durian Indulgence, featuring rare durian grown in the volcanic areas in northern Indonesia. These exceptional durians, known for their soft and mild texture, have a unique sweetness conferred by minerals in the volcanic soils in which they grow, creating a perfect harmony of flavours. This three-course afternoon tea masterfully balances both savoury and sweet elements, promising an unforgettable experience.

From 8 July, indulge in our upgraded afternoon tea set featuring unlimited durian desserts from the buffet station and four pieces of premium Indonesian Volcano durian per guest. The set also includes a delicate seafood pot with a brand new broth recipe of coconut and fish maw, brimming with fresh ocean flavours – the perfect savoury dish to complement the rich, creamy sweetness of the durian.
