Vanilla Triangle $38 (if it is ordered separately).
It is delicate and attractive in appearance. It is a cake served from hotel, but the taste is not outstanding.
Earl Grey Tea Mousse
It
is surely not in the poor category. But in hotel, we do expect the cake
quality should be a bit higher. It is not because it is too sweet, but
because the cake should be offered one grade higher in quality.
Cappuccino
(with foam and chocolate on the top) - Almond and Caramel flavor, is
average only, though I am not a coffee lover. We are delighted it is
served in a porcelain cup.
Cafe Express offers a warm environment of high ceiling. Waitresses are courteous and always smile from their heart.

Remarks:

We
would like to have an afternoon tea today and think of Hotel Panorama.
It is a hotel of about one year history. But from its outlook, it is
like a newly operated hotel. Originally, we would like to visit ‘Santa
Lucia Restaurant & Lounge’ on the 38th floor. In a sunny
afternoon (as the sunlight is too strong), it is not a good experience
to stay on 38th floor. It is better to visit Santa Lucia at night. Café
Express is only a small corner without splendid decoration on 1st floor,
but there is a high ceiling. It should not be noisy even though it is
full. One point to highlight is that the chair is large enough and it is
very comfortable no matter how fat or how big size you are.
We
order two afternoon tea sets (@$58 + 10%) only. This is not high tea set
or tea buffet. Each set includes one drink and one cake. We order
cappuccino and cakes (Earl Grey Tea Mousse and Vanilla Triangle).
Cappuccino is of average quality, so are the cakes. In the very
beginning, we expect the cakes should be of higher quality. The result
turns out to be average only. From our experience this time, improvement
in its food quality is needed. Even so, we do have a relaxing and
leisure afternoon. The ambiance is surely heartening, and the waitresses
are all courteous and always smile from their heart.
