The sweets include five varieties such as a “Dark Chocolate Banana Tart” topped with a red heart-shaped Coeur Framboise, “Milk Chocolate Pudding Mango and Matcha Pavlova” paired with mango and passion fruit sauce, and “Pistachio and Rose Éclair.” The savory selection also consists of five items, including “Chilled Raspberry and Chocolate Soup,” “Matcha-Flavored Quiche and Cream Cheese with Chocolate Tuile,” and “Cardamom-Scented Pumpkin Mousse and Chocolate.” Three types of scones will be served, including a chocolate pretzel scone, and guests can choose one condiment from six options, such as chocolate curd made with Pierre Marcolini chocolate and clotted cream. French toast scented with Himalayan blend tea will also be available.
