As Hong Kong’s dining scene continues to rebound with experiential, ingredient-driven concepts, W Hong Kong is kicking off the new year with a paired culinary journey from land and sea. Starting January 1, 2026, guests can indulge in the locally inspired Blossom Honey Afternoon Tea at WOOBAR and the globally sourced Ocean’s Finest Seafood Buffet at KITCHEN—each designed to spotlight craftsmanship, provenance and indulgence.

WOOBAR Unveils Blossom Honey Afternoon Tea Inspired by Hong Kong Terroir

From January 5 to March 31, 2026, WOOBAR transforms into a refined afternoon tea destination with the Blossom Honey Afternoon Tea, a tribute to Hong Kong’s rare Ivy Tree Raw Honey, harvested from native trees that bloom during cooler months.

A Showcase of Honey’s Versatility

The dessert lineup explores the honey’s delicate bittersweet character across textures and flavours:

  • Lychee Tree White Chocolate & Almond Entremets with subtle floral notes
  • Longan Blossom, Yuzu & Thyme Tarte Frangipane delivering citrus brightness
  • Raw Eucalyptus featuring Cointreau-infused baba beneath a smooth white dome, finished with honeycomb and bee-shaped chocolate
  • HK Native Ivy Jasmine Honey Scone, served with homemade clementine marmalade and British clotted cream

Savoury Bites With a Local Twist

The savoury selection balances sweetness with depth:

  • Honey-glazed eel with cucumber egg salad in a feuilleté box
  • Honey mustard gammon ham with avocado hummus on toasted Gouda sandwiches
  • Cinnamon roasted walnut sandwich rolls with carrot and orange-infused cream cheese

Executive Pastry Chef Ngan Kin Pong describes the honey as “a hidden gem of Hong Kong,” adding that the menu aims to tell “a delicious story of our home” through thoughtful flavour pairings.
