Above & Beyond Collaborates with Loom Loop to Launch an Exclusive Afternon Tea
Taste the exquisite flavours of Executive Pastry Chef Danny Ho’s specially crafted pastries inspired by Loom Loop designs at Hotel ICON’s Above & Beyond exclusive Afternoon Tea every weekend starting from 10 June 2017 until 30 July 2017.
To reflect the bold prints and colours of Polly Ho’s latest Loom Loop collection, pastry chef Danny Ho has prepared a number of new desserts complete with equally bold designs.
Executive Chef Paul Tsui and Executive Pastry Chef Danny Ho have prepared a series of special desserts and dishes reflecting Loom Loop’s heritage designs. Savoury highlights include Pork Dumpling with Shrimp, a traditional Cantonese dish served in Chef Paul Tsui’s signature contemporary style, Crispy Taro Cake with Diced Abalone and Smoked Egg with Oolong Tea Leaves. Sweets are taken care of with a newly created Steamed bun with Almond Custard, Black Forest Cake with Iron Buddha Tea and Éclair with Blueberry Cream that play homage to the vibrant colours of Loom Loop’s bold prints.
“It has been a delight to work with Polly and her team, Loom Loop’s designs are vibrant, colourful and bold, and such an inspirational starting point from which to create my newest desserts”. Executive Pastry Chef, Hotel ICON, Danny Ho.
Above & Beyond recognises Hong Kong’s unique position on the world stage as a centre for both high-end food and fashion, and effortlessly combines the two, making it the number one dining spot for stylish urbanites and travellers alike, who are looking for a luxury dining experience. The collaboration between Above & Beyond and Loom Loop highlights the Chinese heritage and modern aesthetics that they both embody, as well as furthering their respective commitments and dedication to supporting home-grown talent and the local community
“The creativity displayed in the dishes Above & Beyond’s Chefs have created is so in keeping with the style and philosophy of Loom Loop. It’s great to work with a restaurant that champions local brands and supports Asian design”. Polly Ho, Founder and Designer, Loom Loop.
Each guest who are having an Afternoon Tea will walk away with an exclusive gift from Loom Loop, who have created a card holder exclusively for Above & Beyond that features a bold forest green and navy blue design, mirroring the theme of the latest collection, which pays homage to an ancient Chinese legend. The legend tells a love story about a cowherd and a fairy, their love wasn’t allowed so they were banished to either sides of the Silver River and once a year a group of magpies would form a bridge allowing the lovers to reconnect, hence the running magpie motif in the latest collection.
Above & Beyond X Loom Loop Afternoon Tea Set is available every weekend from 10 June 2017 until 30 July 2017 and priced at HKD438 + 10% for 2 persons with tea and freshly brewed coffee
