Chocolate afternoon tea is familiar territory. Cocoa, alongside foie gras, seafood, and pork? Less so.
Sofitel Singapore City Centre and Valrhona — a specialist supplier of high-end chocolate to pastry chefs and chocolatiers — will serve Chocolat: A Cocoa Ritual Afternoon Tea at 1864 from 15 July to 30 September 2026, from 2 pm to 5 pm. The SGD 68++ set comprises five sweets, five savouries and two cocoa-inspired drinks, with a minimum of two diners.
The sweets include Matcha Chocolate Mousseline with ginger and pickled pear; Chocolate Choux with Dulcey 35% Chantilly, hazelnut praline and sesame feuilletine; and Chocolate Roulade pairing Guanaja 70% dark chocolate with TWG 1837 Black Tea.
The savoury half carries cocoa into Madeira-cured foie gras with quince jelly, a crustacean roll with Valrhona Yuzu Inspiration and lemon confit, and Braised Pork with Black Pepper & Mocha Emulsion, served with a Guanaja 70% mole sauce.
