AIRSIDE Cafe, the contemporary dining retreat at AIRSIDE, welcomes 2024 with the launch of a decadent afternoon tea to relish while relaxing amid the airy environs of Kai Tak’s newly opened mall.
Nestled within the AIRSIDE atrium, AIRSIDE Cafe boasts a spacious setting that revolves around a captivating showpiece open kitchen. The artfully crafted layout not only presents a feast for the senses but also provides an elevated position that fills with sunlight filtering through the glass roof. The resulting ambience creates a truly enchanting locale where diners can savour a glorious teatime indulgence.
The AIRSIDE Cafe Afternoon Tea (HK$348 for two people) is served between Monday and Friday, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and spans an array of eye-catching and enticing savouries and sweets. Delightfully presented on an exquisite three-tier rattan cake stand, the delicious treats include a trio of enticing savoury creations, accompanied by freshly baked pastries such as housemade scones, canelés and delectable mini cakes. To enhance the afternoon tea experience, a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea will be served.
The savoury selection is a cut above the norm, crafted from fresh ingredients with a touch of glitz. Lobster Brioche Bun embraces the freshness of lobster and tiger
prawn, the tart crunch of apple and the buttery appeal of salmon caviar; Chicken, Zucchini, Mascarpone and Truffle Sandwich presents a satisfying combination of tender chicken and refreshing zucchini enriched by mascarpone cheese and truffle; and Crab Meat and Sweet Corn Tart is adorned with the fragrant essence of coriander and the tantalising texture of puffed wild rice.
A marvellous lineup of freshly baked pastries from AIRSIDE Pâtisserie’s acclaimed collection leads the sweet parade. Tuck into divine French treats like Tahiti Vanilla Canelé, encased in a caramelised crust and revealing a soft, custard-like centre flavoured by rich, floral Tahitian vanilla; and Mille Feuille Tart infused with bitter orange for layer-upon-layer of sensations. Classic Macarons also send sweet-loving hearts racing. The afternoon tea would not be complete without Scones, which are served with raspberry preserves and the adventurous touch of zesty lemon cream.
This afternoon revelry can be extended with a dip or two into the AIRSIDE Cafe wine list. Since the list encompasses plentiful wines from key regions, Champagnes, imaginative cocktails and a wide range of spirits and soft drinks, this is the ideal spot to settle back with friends and let the afternoon slip happily into evening. A glass of Fantinel Extra Dry Prosecco (HK$78), an Aperol Spritz (HK$98) or a Sparkling Mojito (HK$108) will add fizz, while mocktails (HK$78) such as the Mango Mojito or Unicorn (pineapple and orange juices with lemon, grenadine and pretty butterfly pea decoration) bring fruity refreshment.
As the centre of culinary attention at Kai Tak’s new shopping and commercial landmark, AIRSIDE Cafe offers convivial dining of artisanal and innovative dishes in a relaxed and inviting setting. From the expansive open kitchen to generous portions encouraging shared experiences, every plate showcases inventive flavours, textures and freshness.
AIRSIDE Cafe is located at Shop 322-323, AIRSIDE, 2 Concorde Road, Kai Tak, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It opens daily from 12:00 noon to 9:30 p.m.
