Many of us are yearning to visit Japan at this time of the year to feast our eyes upon the sublime Sakura flowers blooming in all its glory. The fleeting burst of pink petals serves as a gentle reminder of the beauty that is there for eyes that seek it. And, that’s just one reason we just can’t seem to get enough of the yearly phenomenon.
While we can’t flock to parks and gardens in Japan right now, we can still celebrate our love for cherry blossoms. By enjoying a Strawberry Sakura High Tea set at a quaint cafe tucked away in Holland Village, that is.
2am: dessertbar coalesces two of our favourite things in a rather unconventional manner; high tea and the symbolic flower. The outcome is a visual delight and a gastronomic experience that awaits.
