Charmant
Innovatief

Reminiscing on afternoons spent with friends, under tropical green foliage hiding from the sun, the playful ‘click-clack’ of Mah Jong tiles colliding and intermingling with the hum of banter in the background and the sound of songbirds never far away, gossiping, sharing naughty secrets, drinking tea and eating moreish sweets and savouries.

Michelin-starred Kai Mayfair’s Chinese Whispers afternoon tea sets the mood for a relaxed and intimate chat where you can share juicy pieces of gossip along with your gourmet sweets. Here’s where songbirds sing, Mah Jong tiles chatter, and your secrets are free to whisper in the breeze.

Sip a flight of tea cocktails, nibble on Willy Wong’s ‘Apothecary Macarons’ with clotted cream and sample our most talked about desserts in miniature. Enjoy Chinese-inspired savory snacks including Bao with Crispy Duck and Marble Tea Egg.

Call your friends. Make a date. Pick an outfit. Because your best stories won’t keep till tomorrow!

Beautiful afternoon tea! Different to the usual sandwiches and scones, this was a beautifully presented array of delicious bites. My favourite was the steamed egg with caviar and soy! The Chinese whispers them was very creative, and we loved the little birds and bird cages.

I booked this afternoon tea for a friend visitor from Japan. It was the best afternoon tea ever. If you are looking for something other than usual cucumber sandwiches and scones then this is the place to come. The food was presented and cooked to the perfection and it was also such a fun and interactive. It was reasonable considering they will bring more savoury if you like and the service was very smooth. I had been to Alice in wonderland theme one at Shard last year and it was so expensive and too sweet.

We had a delightful experience at the Chinese Whispers tea. The entire experience was curated to evoke whimsy and charm. The food was excellent. There were playful options if sprinkles to add to a delicious giant macaron. You may want to ask your server to point out the few spicy items if you have a low tolerance for spicy foods. Most savory items were wonderful. We lived the egg cup with soy broth. The grilled vegetables and the duck were both excellent. Absolutely marvelous experience. (Tea is served in the basement of a listed property, so no lift)

Afternoon tea with a (Chinese) twist - loved the playful themes, inventive nibbles (particularly the spicy "potion of eternal youth" and fragrant "money" cake) and second helpings. Was quite stuffed at the end of it all. Also - immaculate service.

I found a bone in My food and the waitress/manager said she will tell the chef, but thats it. They did not campensate or do Anything more. The food was a little bit dry. But the place was nice.

The food was fine, nothing too special. The egg dish was my favorite savory bite. It was very beautiful table setting and the food itself was very pretty as well. Our service was not great. We felt rushed by the staff and were told we couldn’t have extra refill on savory sandwiches due to the table needing to turn, even though we had only been at the table for 50 minutes and the restaurant had more empty than full tables. It made us feel unwelcome and dampened the experience. Our waters were also not refilled and other small service things you’d expect at this nice of a restaurant. I was also surprised by the choice of the macaroon for a desert, as it didn’t lean into the Chinese theme at all. I feel there are so many amazing Chinese desserts that could have been more fun.
