TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Perched atop Taipei's skyline, CE LA VI Taipei is elevating the art of afternoon tea with its newly launched tea feast.
The Sky Tree afternoon tea showcases an impressive array of 12 meticulously crafted savory and sweet delights, each a testament to the chef's commitment to luxury and innovation. Presented on bespoke wooden stands that mirror the restaurant's commitment to uniqueness, the tea set is a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Among the savory offerings, the "Burgundy Red Wine Escargot Vol-au-vent" stands out as a pinnacle of indulgence. This refined take on a classic French dish features premium imported escargots nestled in a buttery pastry shell, offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
The luxury continues with the "Duck Confit Potato Cup," where tender sous-vide duck leg meets creamy spiced mashed potatoes, elevating comfort food to new heights. For those seeking a touch of opulence, the "Provençal Ratatouille" is adorned with a generous serving of caviar, adding a briny burst of luxury to the vibrant vegetable medley.
On the sweet side, the "Sapphire Blue" dessert is a true showstopper. Inspired by the regal blue sapphires of French royalty, this jelly confection shimmers with the hue of blue curaçao, sitting atop a velvety yogurt panna cotta.
The "Perfume" dessert draws inspiration from the iconic movie. A crisp tart shell infused with premium ruby black tea cradles a luscious raspberry filling, crowned with a delicate rose meringue.
To complement these exquisite treats, guests can sip on carefully selected teas, or opt for a glass of champagne, further enhancing the indulgent experience.
The afternoon tea is more than just a meal; it's a luxurious journey tantalizing all senses. With its panoramic views of Taipei, including the iconic Taipei 101, CE LA VI offers an unparalleled setting for this gastronomic adventure.
Available daily from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., this afternoon tea experience requires an advance online reservation.
