Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort unveils Secret Garden Afternoon Tea

Executive Chef Christoph Trocker creates a mouth-watering menu of sweet and savoury bites using healthy ingredients, including superfoods.

Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok, the holistic health-focused retreat in the heart of the Thai capital, is inviting guests and local residents to enter its idyllic urban sanctuary and unwind with a wholesome new high tea experience, expertly crafted by Executive Chef Christoph Trocker using the finest and freshest ingredients.

The “Secret Garden Afternoon Tea” is hosted by Rim Klong Café, the elegant eatery that overlooks Bangkok’s Saen Saeb Canal. Inspired by the bounty of nature, this spectacular set of sweet and savoury treats embraces local and seasonal produce, including proven superfoods, gluten- and dairy-free options, and vegetarian or vegan items. Every dish is clearly labelled with icons to let the diner know exactly what they are eating.

This salubrious set menu includes “The Savories,” six sumptuous bite-sized snacks such as smoked salmon tartare with avocado and beetroot caviar, wild forest mushroom pâté with truffle oil, green pea & buckwheat blinis with organic chicken, spiced purple sweet potato and organic cress, sun-dried tomato hummus with pumpernickel bread, beetroot quinoa salad with quail’s egg, pickled crunchy vegetables and microgreens, and gluten-free “Flowerpot” bread.

These are accompanied by “The Sweets,” a sublime selection of treats served on a bed of edible chocolate soil. These delicacies include butterfly pea with lemon jelly, dark chocolate & blueberry tart, pumpkin pie, Swiss carrot cake, tomato ‘energy ball’ (muesli, almond, pumpkin & chia seeds), truffle walnut choux cream, flower chocolate pralines of the day, mini sago exotic delight, matcha scones, classic scones, and maple syrup Chantilly cream.

Naturally, these delights are accompanied by a pot of freshly-brewed coffee, premium tea or a herbal infusion. The aim is to add a splash of colour and fun to the concept of healthy eating, while providing friends, family members and couples with the perfect opportunity to reconnect with each other after a challenging few months.

Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok’s recently-appointed Executive Chef, Christoph Trocker hails from Austria and has enjoyed an impressive 16-year career at some of Asia’s leading hotels and resorts. His philosophy is to harmonise local ingredients and international flavours to create highly original yet authentic cuisine.

“Afternoon tea is a charming tradition; it provides a unique opportunity for people – mothers, daughters, best friends, couples – to come together and share deeply personal moments. After the upheaval of the last two years, this sense of reconnecting with loved ones is more important than ever before, so I am thrilled to introduce our new Secret Garden Afternoon Tea at Rim Klong Café, which will provide a wonderful way for people to share the timeless pleasures of fine food and great company,” says Chef Christoph.
