We Tried and Loved the Ultimate Peninsula Bund High Tea

2017-07-11 ShanghaiWOWeng


Peninsula hotel famous for their afternoon tea. But their best kept secret is their Bund cruise high tea abroad a luxury yacht. And when we were invited for an afternoon pampering session, you can be sure Peninsula does it the right way.  


First of all, their yacht is ….a real luxury yacht. The hotel explains this beauty the best: “The Peninsula Shanghai heralds the arrival of a new Azimut 47 Flybridge yacht to the existing fleet of luxury vehicles serving the Hotel. Decorated in the timeless and graceful livery of The Peninsula Shanghai, the 14.5-metre cruiser will allow up to 10 passengers to enjoy the iconic skyline and dramatic waterways of China’s largest metropolis.”


This is love at first sight:


 

Check out the fine interiors and the attention to detail:

 


Just in case you need a lie down:


 

The yacht proves there is no oversight in providing guests a luxury experience.


Despite the overcast day, seeing the towering skyscrapers of Lujiazui up close was amazing.  



Just as we are enjoying the views, tea is served. Each yacht has one personal butler that will cater to your every whim. From presenting the tea sets to refilling your glasses, this is truly a lapse of luxury. 



You can select one of three options for the Heritage afternoon tea. Option 1:  Apricot almond choux puff, Chocolate orange brownie, Passionfruit cheesecake, Walnut honey tart, Gâteau aux noisettes. Option 2: Onion and smoked bacon quiche, shaved parmesan cheese, baby green, Tandoori chicken, Cucumber salad, fresh mint, black sesame roll, Smoked salmon, arugula, Salmon roe, Herb cream cheese, Truffled farm egg salad, whole wheat bread.

  


We went with option 3, which included plain scone, Raisin scone,  Milk chocolate molasses cookie, Raspberry-dark chocolate sablé, Yuzu pound cake, Homemade strawberry jam, Lemon curd, Clotted cream.


 

Hmmm……what an amazing spread and bottomless glasses of champagne.
