Through March 3: The lobby lounge and cafe Gallery at Grand Hyatt Seoul in Yongsan District, central Seoul, launched a strawberry afternoon tea set.
Dubbed Strawberry Serenade Afternoon Tea, the set uses a premium brand of local strawberries grown on Mount Jiri, which are known for their high sugar content.
The tea set includes desserts like strawberry cheesecake, strawberry pistachio mille feuille and strawberry tiramisu. Savory options more creatively infuse strawberries into dishes, like Cajun shrimp tacos with strawberry salsa and strawberry Waldorf tart.
Afternoon tea is available every day from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and sold for 150,000 won ($105) per set for two people.
