We're giving this the title of best-value, most delicious afternoon tea — at Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok's Bittersweet Lobby Bar, with the Secret Garden Afternoon Tea Set for 2, priced at 1,413 baht: 9 items per set, 18 pieces total, arranged on a bonsai-style tree with a dramatic dry-ice smoke effect (served 12-5 PM).
It uses Dilmah Silver Jubilee Gourmet tea, with a choice of 5 flavors. It opens with a refreshing Lychee Granita. On the savory side there's Gravlax Salmon & Ikura Roe, and a Profiterole Crab Truffle Mayo with sweet fresh crab meat and truffle mayonnaise.
The standout desserts are the Mango Sticky Rice mousse with mango filling, a Young Coconut Choux Cream with a not-too-rich coconut mousse, a Basque burnt cheesecake, and a Poach Pear Mousse, lightly sweet and fragrant.
After afternoon tea, relax further at Be Well Spa, with a modern locker room, a Himalayan salt sauna room, and a 7°C ice room. An Aromatherapy massage course runs 2,943 baht (1 hour). Tel: 02-666-3333.
