Silver Screen Hollywood Afternoon Tea

Posted on Published: February 6, 2018 - Last updated: February 10, 2018

If you’re a fan of classical Hollywood cinema, you most definitely need to indulge in Notch 8‘s newest afternoon tea theme.  The Silver Screen Hollywood Afternoon Tea celebrates the golden age of Hollywood when Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Humphrey Bogart and Marlon Brando graced the screens.  This afternoon tea set is available now until April 1st with sittings at 11am, 1pm & 3pm from Wednesday to Sundays and priced $65 for adults and $32.50 for children.  I recently had the opportunity to try out the Silver Screen Hollywood Afternoon Tea.  Here’s a look at what you can expect.

Disclosure:  I was invited for a media tasting.  All food and drinks in this review were complimentary.  Opinions are my own.

Old Hollywood Glamour

The afternoon tea experience at Notch 8 is not just about the food but in the decor and ambiance as well.  Placted throughout the room are photos of revered Hollywood stars from the past, movie clapboards and even the occasional Oscar trophy.

On one side of the room, there was a movie screen playing a black and white movie under red velvet curtains.

Scones

We received two scone flavours, Cranberry and Giandujia Chocolate, along with clotted cream and citrus butter on the side.  The scones were amazing as usual being very light, buttery and flaky.

Our three-tier afternoon tea set consisted of The Matinee (savouries) and The Silver Screen Premier (sweets).

The Matinee

The savories included the Steak “Oscar” Truffle Sandwich; Cobb Salad on Melba Toast; Green Goddess Salad with Lobster and Ruby Red Grapefruit; Chicken A la Keene Gougère; and Caviar and Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs.

Steak “Oscar” Truffle Sandwich

One of my favourite savoury items was the steak truffle sandwich which had tenderloin steak, dungeness crab, Béarnaise aioli and truffle.  The aroma and flavour from the truffle made this sandwich very appealing.

Caviar and Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

I also very much enjoyed the deviled eggs with caviar.  Definitely one of the more beautifully yet also tasty items from the savoury selection.

The Silver Screen Premier

For sweets, there were some very creative and beautifully presented treats: Chocolate Tuxedo, Lights, Camera, Action, Reel to Reel, Walk of Fame and Marilyn Linzer.

Chocolate Tuxedo

Underneath this well-dressed treat was a flourless chocolate cake.  Very moist and just right in terms of decadence.

Lights, Camera, Action

Green tea lovers, rejoice!  This movie clapboard-inspired treat had a mix of green tea and cherry gateaux.

Reel to Reel

Inspired by movie reel, this shortbread cookie featured burnt caramel cream and cocoa nib.

Marilyn Linzer

If a tart were made to look like you, what would it be?  This Marilyn Monroe-inspired Linzer Tart had passion & mango fluid gel, almond crisp and passion fruit foam (to mimic Marilyn’s blonde hair).

 Walk of Fame

This Hollywood Walk of Fame-inspired treat was made of Devil’s Chocolate Cake with Milk Chocolate Cremeux Star.
