Available from 26 March to 25 April 2026, this special collaboration introduces guests to Chef Hata’s pastry creations through a selection of savouries, warm scones and desserts. Recognised internationally for his disciplined technique and thoughtful approach, Chef Hata brings his distinctive style to one of Bangkok’s most celebrated afternoon tea settings.

The experience begins with a sorbet course featuring Floating Island with Bourbon vanilla ice cream and sea-salted caramel, offering a gentle introduction to the afternoon tea that follows.

Guests may then enjoy a selection of tea sandwiches, including Boston lobster with tartare sauce, beef pastrami with potatoes and sour cream, yellow curry bread sandwich with celery heart and egg salad, smoked salmon with horseradish and cucumber, and coronation chicken salad with black olives.

The afternoon tea continues with warm plain and raisin scones, served with seasonal house-made jams and a choice of Devonshire clotted cream, mascarpone or butter.

Chef Hata’s pastry selection includes Lemon Mint Pie, Hazelnut Milk Chocolate Cake, Pistachio Griotte Cake, Apricot and Pistachio Macaron, Hazelnut Praline and Caramel Petit-Beurre Dulcey, and a Brioche Roll with Pear Compote and Jasmine Cream.

Served within the historic surroundings of The Authors’ Lounge, the experience reflects Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok’s long-standing connection with visiting culinary talents and the traditions of afternoon tea that have been part of the hotel’s story for generations. As Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok celebrates 150 years, the collaboration with Chef Masanori Hata continues the hotel’s tradition of welcoming distinguished guest chefs.

Afternoon tea is priced at THB 1,980++ per person, or THB 2,680++ per person including a glass of Champagne.
