NUO Hotel Beijing joins hands with Italian luxury sports car brand Maserati and Beijing Hero Auto Sales & Service Co., Ltd. to debut a co-branded afternoon tea, combining Chinese culture with Italian design aesthetics to take you on a delightful gourmet journey this spring.
From lemon tarts that Italians love to classic Sicilian cannoli, and from handmade gelato to the Italian toasted butter croissant with delicious Bologna pistachio mortadella, Nikolaos Lekkas, Director of Culinary of NUO Hotel Beijing, and his team have partnered with Maserati to come up with astonishingly creative ideas and products to amaze, with a kaleidoscope of Italian flavours.
Vanilla Gelato
The first stop on our foodie tour around Italy is the artisan gelato with crushed pistachios and almonds. Start your afternoon with a delightful bite.
Sicilian Cannoli
Sicilian cannoli is one of the most traditional Italian dishes – a crispy chocolate shell filled with ricotta, which is topped off with either selected strawberries or oranges and pistachios, leading to a delicious taste melting in your mouth.
Lemon Tart
Made with sweet shortcrust pastry and a deliciously creamy lemon filling. The freshness of the lemon tart will no doubt leave a lasting impression.
Warm Scones served with Rodda’s Cornish Clotted Cream, Strawberry Jam and Mango-Passionfruit Curd
Vanilla- and raisin-scented scones fresh from the oven served with Rodda’s Cornish clotted cream, paired with strawberry jam and mango-passionfruit curd. With a hint of nutty flavour, the warm bread is heartwarming.
Toasted Butter Croissant with Bologna Pistachio Mortadella and Brie Cheese
Pistachio ham from Bologna, Maserati’s birthplace, is served with brie cheese and a buttered croissant to finish off a wonderful afternoon.
Maserati, an Italian super-luxury car brand, was founded in 1914 in Bologna, Italy, and is now headquartered in Modena. As a pioneer in the automotive industry, Maserati has always satisfied the pursuit of dream cars for every adventurer and life connoisseur who is eager for speed with its innate innovative spirit, unique design aesthetics and infinite passion energy.
With a unique design inspired by the “Golden Age” of prosperous Ming Dynasty heritage literature, art and culture and “using the past to serve the present” as its guiding philosophy, NUO Hotel Beijing is the perfect example of tradition blending with harmony for the future of contemporary China.
The Lobby Lounge at NUO Hotel Beijing is the place for you to savour the afternoon moment and artistic creations, when Chinese inspiration meets Italian elegance with the limited edition Maserati Afternoon Tea this April.
