Floral-Inspired Savory Creations
The savory selection highlights delicate ingredients with subtle floral accents.
One standout is the Rose Salt Baked Pigeon Eggs with Sweet Pea Jelly and Caviar. The pigeon eggs are slow-roasted with sea salt and edible rose, infusing the tender center with a gentle floral aroma. Sweet pea gelée adds creamy sweetness, while caviar introduces a refined savory finish.
The Lobster Mousse Roll with Lychee combines fresh lobster mousse with the light sweetness of lychee. A beetroot-lychee gelée enhances the soft pink color, reflecting the romantic tone of the Delina fragrance.
Guests can also enjoy the Duck Liver Terrine with Brioche, where red wine-marinated foie gras is paired with crisp brioche for a classic French tea-time indulgence.
Elegant Desserts Inspired by Delina
The dessert selection continues the floral inspiration.
The French Fromage Blanc Charlotte with Rhubarb Filling features a blush-pink exterior inspired by Delina’s rose bouquet. A rose-flavored cream trim surrounds a sweet and tart rhubarb center, topped with delicate fruit pearls.
Another highlight is the Bergamot Vanilla Pavlova, where a crisp meringue shell carries bright citrus notes of bergamot. A rose-shaped swirl of vanilla cream adds warmth and elegance.
Completing the experience is the Rose, Lychee & Raspberry Ispahan, a classic pairing where Damask rose sits at the center, layered with berry sweetness and delicate floral notes reminiscent of the Delina fragrance.
Afternoon Tea with Skyline Views in Shanghai
Served on the 52nd floor, AURA Lounge offers sweeping views of the Bund’s historic architecture and the shimmering Huangpu River.
Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the lounge with afternoon light, creating a warm atmosphere high above the city, offering guests a refined escape, reminiscent of strolling through the rose gardens of the historic Château de Marly in France.
