THE ST. REGIS JAKARTA UNVEILS THE HOUSE OF ASTOR AFTERNOON TEA

An exquisite afternoon tea experience where haute couture meets haute pâtisserie

This October, The St. Regis Jakarta unveils The House of Astor Afternoon Tea, a fashion-inspired culinary experience that brings the glamour of Parisian couture to the table, infused with enduring sophistication of the Astor legacy.

Available throughout October, the afternoon tea reimagines iconic elements of the fashion world into edible works of art, masterfully crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Kevin Lee. Drawing inspiration from the silhouettes, accessories, and details seen on the runways of Paris, each creation is meticulously designed to blur the line between dessert and couture.

Among the collection is a striking Pistachio Financier with Orange Blossom, elegantly shaped as a sophisticated emerald handbag; an artistic Mango and Coconut Cheesecake inspired by the fluid movement of an upside-down couture skirt; the playful Red Velvet Bar with Vanilla Cream is transformed into a couture lipstick; the delicate Strawberry Marmalade and Lychee Mousse Delight captures the graceful silhouette of a high heel shoe. Each piece embodies the craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail synonymous with both pastry artistry and luxury fashion.

“Fashion and pastry have a lot in common. Both are about creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. With The House of Astor Afternoon Tea, we wanted to create desserts that are beautiful to look at but also delicious to eat. Each piece is inspired by iconic fashion elements, bringing a little of the excitement and glamour of a Paris runway to the table.” said Kevin Lee, Executive Pastry Chef of The St. Regis Jakarta.

The collection will make its debut through an exclusive launch event celebrating fashion and creativity. In collaboration with renowned Indonesian designer Sebastian Gunawan, The St. Regis Jakarta will host a special trunk show featuring selected couture pieces, transforming The Drawing Room into a sophisticated fashion salon.

Further highlighting Jakarta's creative talent, the event is presented in partnership with Dinas Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Disparekraf), with members of Abang None Jakarta taking to the runway. Fashion personalities Ian Hugen and Cisca Becker  will appear as featured muses, bringing the latest fashion narratives to life in an intimate showcase of style and elegance.

Set against the refined surroundings of The Drawing Room, The House of Astor Afternoon Tea invites guests to experience a month-long celebration of fashion, craftsmanship, and timeless St. Regis rituals. From couture-inspired pastries to elegant presentations, every detail pays homage to the spirit of the great fashion maisons, reimagined through the distinctive lens of The St. Regis Jakarta.
