The Eclairs Afternoon Tea Menu 

MO Bar - 

This year,  they seem to have done quite a few Collaborations with famous Bars and Restaurants from around the World.  Including from New York, Tokyo and now from Paris.

The 2 Types of Scones with Clotted Cream and very thick Jams were Excellent - 

Actually I currently rate these as the best Scones available in Hong Kong,  although Island Shangri-la and Four Seasons are also good in different ways.  These here nowadays have a very good aroma and light yet milky.  It's hard to quantify it in pure vocabularies,  but I considered these the perfect scones recipe and this is very rare to find outside of the UK!
