Beginning March 2<\/strong> until May 31<\/strong>, you may ceaselessly bask in the comfort and romantic atmosphere of springtime without having to fly all the way to Japan!<\/p>\n

This is all thanks to Raffles Makati’s The Writers Bar <\/strong>for introducing their Sakura Afternoon Tea <\/strong>set,<\/strong> where teeny eats are not only reminiscent of the lovely pink landscape brought by the cherry blossoms but are definitely oozing with the sweetness mirroring the season’s vibe in food form.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These three layers of sweet<\/em> and savory<\/em> delights are molded by Chef Yuki Nakamura, Pastry Sous Chef <\/strong>of Swiss\u00f4tel Nankai Osaka,<\/strong>\u00a0who intricately embedded the essence of the Sakura flower into every bite.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For only\u00a0Php 1,500<\/strong>, you and a friend or\u00a0anyone you want to be with can already share an intimate afternoon meal over this newest set from The Writers Bar. This accordingly includes select\u00a0TWG Teas\u00a0<\/strong>on top of the food.<\/p>\n

The topmost plate, for a start, is graced by the slightly less sweet bunch: the flimsy\u00a0Sakura Panna Cotta<\/strong>\u00a0topped by crunchy rice crackers,\u00a0the soft\u00a0Sakura and Tea Pound Cake <\/strong>enriched by the thin pieces of strawberry chocolate, and\u00a0the mouthful\u00a0Sakura Coconut Roche<\/strong>\u00a0accented by a slice of strawberry on top.<\/p>\n

The middle layer, whereas, is where utmost sweetness drips. We say it so because of the Sakura and Cream Cheese Mousse\u00a0<\/strong>that will undeniably treat the sweet tooths out there with its smoothly intertwined layers of strawberry, cream cheese, and marbled-texture jelly on top.<\/p>\n

Although not pink, both the Matcha Roll<\/strong> and the Dorayaki<\/strong>\u00a0still boast of charms that bring delight to the palates\u2014nothing short of the flavors of the others.<\/p>\n

Finally, the last layer centralizes on the savory ones, providing a good balance through their collective piquant taste. This encompasses the\u00a0Negi Miso Chicken Burger,\u00a0Cold Soba Noodles,\u00a0Sakura Smoked Salmon with Daikon Pickles<\/strong>, Okonomiyaki Stick,\u00a0<\/strong>and Rice Cracker<\/strong> on the side.<\/p>\n

But apart from the layered set, you can also enjoy the scones be it in its plain or sakura nature. Break it in half and graze it with whipped cream, strawberry jam, or lemon curd for that extra filling experience.<\/p>\n
