As summer approaches, there’s no need to travel thousands of miles to tropical countries. Ascend to the 115th floor of Niccolo Suzhou, and immerse yourself in the romantic charm of Southeast Asia.
The hotel proudly unveils its Southeast Asian-themed afternoon tea, available for a limited time from July 1 to September 30, 2026. Infusing delicate pastries with authentic Nanyang ingredients including lemongrass, pandan, coconut milk and tamarind, this sky-high feast encapsulates the vibrant tropical flavours in every bite. Guests may savour the panoramic city skyline while embarking on a Nanyang culinary journey without crossing time zones.
Crafted creatively by the pastry team of Niccolo Suzhou, the new themed afternoon tea takes the flavor map of Southeast Asia as its creative thread. Savoury and sweet bites are artfully arranged, letting you taste the distinctive flavours of various regions with every mouthful and soak up local cultural stories amid leisurely afternoon hours. The afternoon tea set features six themed desserts and five bespoke savoury items, paired with premium tea and coffee selections. Standout signature dishes by the chef include crisp pork skewers with endive and satay sauce, beef puffs tossed in Singapore chilli sauce, taro cakes coated in sambal paste, seafood glutinous rice balls with sriracha, and pandan scones.
Foie Gras Puff
Inspired by flavours from Cambodia’s rainforests, this foie gras puff features pan-seared rich foie gras balanced with tangy tamarind to cut through its richness. It delivers a velvety texture on the palate with a fresh, lingering finish.
Red Curry Prawn Patty
Drawing inspiration from South Indian cuisine, this red curry prawn patty combines plump and springy prawns with aromatic curry. It boasts a crispy outer crust and juicy filling bursting with flavour, offering multi-layered spicy and savoury notes.
Thai Green Papaya Salad
Crisp and refreshing, this classic Thai green papaya salad blends lime and chili paste to deliver a bright medley of sour, sweet, fresh and spicy flavours. Light and appetising, it is the ideal refreshing treat for summer.
Endive Satay Crispy Pork
Inspired by Indonesian flavours, this dish features pork marinated with lemongrass and slow-cooked at low temperature for an intense meaty aroma. Paired with slightly bitter endive, it perfectly offsets the richness of the meat.
Centered on coconut aroma and tropical fresh fruits, the desserts taste sweet and refreshing without being cloying, perfectly catering to the taste preferences of diners in Jiangnan.
Pandan Lychee & White Peach Cake
Originating from Singapore, this pandan lychee and white peach cake consists of soft pandan chiffon cake wrapped around fresh lychee and white peach flesh, delivering a mild and delicate fruity aroma.
Pandan Layer Cake
This Malaysian pandan layer cake is made by stacking layers of pandan juice and coconut milk. It features chewy and tender texture with rich coconut fragrance filling the mouth.
Mango Coconut Rice Mousse
This Burmese-style mango coconut rice mousse combines mango filling with chewy glutinous rice, creating a harmonious blend of sweetness and stickiness brimming with authentic Southeast Asian tropical vibes. Alternating between savoury and sweet bites brings evolving flavours that fully unfold the diverse taste palette of Nanyang cuisine.
