Wanchai’s heritage-listed Kee Wah Tea House is serving up a taste of old Hong Kong with its newly launched “Hong Kong Nostalgia Signature Afternoon Tea Set,” available daily from now until February 28, 2027. Priced at $128 for two, the set blends classic Cantonese bakery favourites with Southeast Asian flavours, offering guests a culinary journey through the city’s diverse food culture within a restored 1930s landmark.
A Heritage Setting for a Timeless Tea Experience
Tucked inside a Grade III historic building at 188 Queen’s Road East, Kee Wah Tea House has long been a destination for those seeking more than just a meal. The space retains its original 1930s decorative floor tiles and vintage wooden windows, meticulously preserved to evoke the romance of old Hong Kong. Guests can unwind on the airy heritage colonnade balcony, surrounded by nostalgic furnishings, while savouring an afternoon tea that pays homage to the city’s eclectic culinary roots.
The new set menu showcases the bakery’s traditional craftsmanship alongside classic Nanyang-inspired dishes. Savoury highlights include the aromatic mini lemongrass pork chop Malay laksa, simmered slowly with a blend of Southeast Asian spices for a mildly spicy, fragrant broth. Freshly baked daily, the BBQ pork puff (char siu sou) delivers a crisp, flaky exterior, while the hundred-layer puff pastry egg tart offers a delicate, buttery crunch. For dessert, the signature mini lotus seed paste sago baked pudding uses Kee Wah’s renowned silky smooth lotus paste for a comforting, soft texture. Guests can pair their treats with classic Hong Kong-style milk tea, coffee, or a nostalgic red bean ice float, which can be upgraded with a scoop of ice cream for an additional $10.
