Niccolo Chengdu and Delvaux jointly launch “L'Amour” Afternoon Tea, to honour the birthday of surrealist artist and painter René Magritte. Inspired by Magritte's Le Fils de L’Homme, the “Apple of My Eye” exudes fragrant fennel and sour fruity notes from its apple-shaped appearance. The “L’Amour” is crafted in a refreshing method out of the shape of brightly blooming roses as portrayed by Magritte. “The Peace and Love” and “On Cloud Nine” feature Magritte's silhouettes, as well as the iconic sky and cloud elements represented in his paintings.
The L'Amour Afternoon Tea is an ingenious blend of traditional Belgian flavours and captivating Sichuan delicacies. Belgian Fish Croquette with Tomato Dip, full of aromatic and salty notes, are crispy on the outside and tender inside. The “From the Kingdom of Belgium” and freshly baked authentic Belgian Waffles represent the quintessential comforting richness and serve as a fitting tribute to Belgian cultural classics. Sichuan Poached Beef Tartlet and Spicy Avocado Egg Sandwich are cooked with local ingredients to bring out their rich tastes.
Spend an art-filled afternoon in the surreal atmosphere all made possible by René Magritte’s fantastical and imaginative paintings right here at The Tea Lounge. From now until October 6th, guests can purchase the L'Amour Afternoon Tea at only RMB428/set in the hotel's WeChat mall, and receive an exquisite Delvaux gift.
Address: The Tea Lounge, L3, Niccolo Chengdu, Tower 3, IFS, Section 3, Hongxing Road, Jingjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
