It’s that time of the year again, where various brands start tempting us with Sakura-themed merchandise and menus. After a good run last year, Raffles Hotel Singapore is once again bringing back their Sakura Afternoon Tea, with pretty pink sweets and savouries all inspired by the romantic cherry blossom season.

Savoury items include Salmon Sushi Roll with Avocado, Beef Sando with Katsu Bechamel, and Tamagoyaki with Ikura and Japanese Pickles. There will also be a bite-sized serving of a Japanese Fruit Sandwich, and based on the pictures, the filling will most likely be strawberry.

As for the sweets, you can look forward to indulging in a Sakura Strawberry Mont Blanc, Kinako Mochi Almond Profiterole, Sakura Raspberry Chantilly, Genmaicha Rollcake, and Sakura Nerikiri Wagashi. As you can see, the menu is skewed more towards the sweet side so this will be a real treat for those who love desserts!

The set also includes homemade original and raisin scones, along with clotted cream and strawberry rose jam. Wash it all down with your choice of either Mariage Frères tea from France or Raffles custom-blended coffee.
