Get started with our roundup of F&B happenings around town below.

With cherry blossom season expected to begin on March 21 in Tokyo, The Lounge at Four Seasons is introducing a timely afternoon tea menu that taps into Japan's national obsession with the sakura flower. Served on a three-tiered tea stand, the set features an array of Japanese-style sweet and savoury treats that uses sakura in the form of jam, jelly, and powder—think sakura velvet cake, cherry blossom and chocolate tart, strawberry and sakura cream rolls, and sakura-champagne soft agar with white peach. The experience is complete with the offering of signature scones enjoyed with homemade jam and Devonshire cream. Priced at HK$698 for two persons, the set is available until April 30 and is also available for takeaway.
