Swarovski afternoon tea now available in Raffles Hotel Makati
MANILA, Philippines — Ever fancied eating Swarovski crystals?
Besides that Swarovskis are expensive, the brand has not yet figured out a way to make its crystals edible. Until such time, one can enjoy Swarovskis and treat oneself and/or loved ones and friends to an early Christmas afternoon tea inspired by Swarovski.
The Writers Bar of Raffles Hotel in Makati City is offering a limited-time and exclusive Swarovski Sparkling Afternoon Tea Delight set until November 27, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. and from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. daily. Each set for two starts at P3,000 nett, which includes a choice of premium TWG tea or coffee with optional upgrades for mocktail, cocktails, and champagne. Reservations are required and can be made via bit.ly/BookTheWritersBar.
The set was crafted by Raffles’ culinary artisans as an interpretation of the brand’s Austrian heritage, innovation, and savoir-faire since 1895 in 2023. The high tea menu features a variety of savory and sweet treats featuring the iconic swan and the vibrant brand colors of Swarovski. Some of the must-try canapés on the menu are the Seared Tuna with Mango Cilantro Salsa, Green Mango Tart with Sea Grapes, and Vegan Cheese Bruschetta with Calamansi Pearls for savories; and the Crystal Glazed reinvented Raspberry Linzer, Cube of Sacher Cake and Crystal inspired Praline for sweets. Scones, of course, are included. You can choose from Classic and Apple Studel, a popular pastry in Austria.
For its Fall/ Winter 2023 collection, Swarovski presents an inspiring new range of jewelry aiming to give wearers joyful extravagance, with artistic savoir-faire that promises to transform any look.
In crafting this array of eye-catching designs, Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert has taken her cues from multiple worlds.
