SKAI High Tea – The Composition

Indulge in the Lobster Roll – a scrumptious sandwich that features a house-made charcoal bun filled with Canadian lobster; celery; apple and then topped with ikura roe. The lobster meat is removed from the shell using a water jet which lends a sweeter taste to the meat. The charcoal bun adds sharpness which complements the sweet lobster meat. A playful take on the traditional Egg Mayonnaise Sandwich, Egg Yolk Gel’s silky egg yolk is sous vide for an hour and delicately infused with truffle before serving it on a petite brioche bun.

The Foie Gras Polo Bun – filled with foie gras and topped with a tangy raspberry gel, is the definitive indulgent treat. To finish, the Maitake Truffle flatbread surprises with its filling of exotic Japanese Maitake mushrooms; celeriac; truffle – their flavours drawn out by pickle and lime. The Maitake mushrooms are first sautéed with olive oil, chilled and puréed with wonderful truffle paste.

The Cocoa Bean Ruby Chantilly achieves its pink shade from the mysteriously rose-hued cocoa bean – Ruby Chocolate, used in SKAI’s decadent desserts. Widely recognised as the fourth type of chocolate, Ruby Chocolate’s taste is particularly distinctive in the fruity Raspberry Cheese Macarons.

Speckled with gold flakes, the 72% Chocolate Sable Tart invites guests to graze on crunchy cocoa crumble with a homemade marmalade core atop a base of caramelised hazelnuts. With a soft shell resembling a plump mango, the bright yellow Mango, Strawberry, Yuzu Gâteau offers a sweet and fruity finish. The Yuzu, a popular fruit in Japan, adds a mild acidity to the dessert and whets the appetite further.
