Forget scones, jam and cream, as delicious a combination as that is — at The Lab's lunar new year high teas throughout February, it's ditching the classic setup. Instead, you'll tuck into pork belly bao, red bean buns and mandarin curd tarts to celebrate the year of the tiger, with the $50-per-person spread available every Saturday and Sunday from 1pm throughout the month.
Also on the menu: prawn dumplings and xiaolongbao from the dim sum range, plus sweet treats such as pistachio macaroons, pistachio and chocolate pyramids, gold foil chocolate leaves, layered chestnut cakes with meringue and pineapple shortbread. And, to treat your eyes as well as your stomach, they'll be served in a candy box platter.
The full 12-dish lineup has been designed to symbolise celebration and good fortune, if you feel like your luck could use a bit of a boost as the lunar new year kicks into gear.
Something that'll definitely be brightening up the place: an interactive lantern installation filled with glowing rows, so get ready to take some snaps as well on your trip to The Treasury.
