Teatime at Hong Kong's Flagship Hyatt Involves Chopsticks
There are the Grand Hyatts of the world, and then there is the Hong Kong Grand Hyatt. As the ambassador hotel for the entire Grand Hyatt chain, the HK property located on Victoria Harbour lives up to its name by doing everything in a truly grand style. We took a little time from our busy schedule of eating dim sum and window shopping to engage in our favorite time killer: the hotel high tea.
Served Monday thru Friday from 1-6pm and with limited seatings on the weekends, the tea service held in the Tiffin Lounge is nothing to sniff at; it's got enough petit fours to satisfy the most proper of ladies while also upping the ante with several dim sum dishes. Did we mention that it's a buffet? Come in, have a seat by the floor-to-ceiling glass windows with a view to the famous skyline, order from the tea menu and then go fill up plate after plate of macaroons, egg salad sandwiches and Shanghai pork dumplings.
Due to Hong Kong's colonial past, taking tea is still very much in fashion, and Hyatt's range of choice successfully sets itself apart from competitor tea times which stick to the traditional bites. In fact, the Hyatt tea buffet was so substantial and varied that we easily and happily skipped dinner. Arriving at 5pm helped with that too, as well as allowing us to sit through dusk as the city lit up in neon for the nighttime skyline lightshow. We were tempted to name this our favorite tea service ever, but at $32 USD per person, it is a tad pricey to take top prize. We will nonetheless allow it to be tops for hotel teatime in Asia...for now.
