Shang-ri La Sydney: Wickedly Sweet Chocolate High Tea





"Fulfil your chocolate fantasies as you make your way through chocolate macaroons, chocolate and hazelnut brûlée, chocolate and coffee marquise, chocolate and caramel mousse, and pour cream and hot chocolate sauce on triple chocolate cakes. Choose from dark, white or milk hot chocolate, or simply enjoy the chocolate high tea with a freshly ground coffee or loose
leaf tea.


Escape the cold outside with the sinfully sweet chocolate afternoon tea; perfect for the chocoholic looking for the absolute indulgence. To add to the already sweet treats, you can enjoy the Lobby Lounge's hot or cold Chocolate and Espresso Cocktails from $12.50."


When:  Every Saturday and Sunday from 1 June 2011, 11am - 5pm
Cost:    $62 for a "Plate for Two" which includes five decadent desserts and the choice of a hot chocolate, tea or coffee per person. 







And yes, that is a giant chocolate lollipop covered in milk chocolate and thousands of whole hazelnuts. How do we know? let's just say there were a few missing by the time we left... :)

  1. I think the lack of flexibility on mixing and matching the traditional afternoon tea and wickedly delicious but sugar coma inducing chocolate tea was a bit of a disappointment! Great pics - I think that giant chocolate lollipop felt quite violated!

  2. Hey Vy, woohoo first comment on my blog!

    Yes, totally agree that it shouldn't have even been a question by them considering (a) you had rung in advance (b) it would have just been a matter of taking the pre-made desserts out of the dessert fridge to arrange (it's not as if they were making them on the spot - see photos above).

    Thanks so much for organising again, and can't wait for our I-talian inspired outing..
