Wellness Tea Time
Something’s brewing at Capella on Fridays.
Experience a guilt-free afternoon tea at Chef’s Table on Fridays with a curated menu of healthy, nutritious and dairy-free delights. Last week, we got to enjoy this elegant affair in an intimate and elegant setting over exquisite Ronnefeldt teas.
Weirdly, the idea of having a plant-based afternoon tea sounds enticing to me. I don’t call myself a vegan or raw vegan foodie but I can’t deny the fact that vegan food tastes delicious. It’s an art in itself.
Behind-the-scenes
Helming the kitchen was certified raw food chef, Sandra Lim. She puts the finest plant-based ingredients together to form the most decadent vegan treats. The most challenging part? How to satisfy a meat lover with exotic vegetables and superfoods in one sitting. The game is on.
On The Table
The savoury and sweet creations were paired with Aryuveda tea by Ronnefeldt. What’s your dosha? I’m a Kapha and to balance my dosha elements, Pitta-inspired herbal tea – Light My Flame.
I will never be able to tell you which savoury treat is my favourite on this platter because I enjoy every bite of the vegan savoury treats which explodes in my mouth. From the bottom of my heart, it’s quite an experience.
As for the desserts, the chocolate tea cake with the green icing is a clear winner for me.
Aryuveda Tea
Light My Flame (Pitta)
The tea consists of Ginger, lemon peel, black peppercorn, anise, peppermint and coriander seeds.
Truly, it is a spicy affair to kick-start your day.
The Savoury
Crispy Charcoal Tuile with Root Vegetable Hummus
Tempeh Portobello Slider with Green Goddess Cream
Cauliflower Millefeuille with Shiitake ‘Bacon’
Sprouted Whole Grain Bread with Tomato Tapenade
The Scones
Cranberry scones with Raspberry Chia Jam and Whipped Coconut cream
This is a blast. Honestly, I love how the dairy-free scones tasted like actual scones, minus off the wheat and refined sugar.
The Desserts
Cultivated Blueberry ‘Cheesecake’ with Beetroot Glaze
Chocolate Hazelnut Dome
Cacao Avo Mousse
Quinoa and Zucchini Chocolate Tea Cake
The ‘Cleansing’ Granita
Tomato Consomme Jelly with Basil Granita
Get ready for a delightful explosion of flavours on your taste buds. It might keep you intrigued on how plant-based food could have several layers of flavours. Just when you thought that there could never be an all-veggies afternoon tea, they are here to prove you wrong. I mean, hey, going vegan can be luxurious too.
