High Tea at The Table Bay has been re-imagined. It\u2019s got new personality, it\u2019s fresh, it\u2019s seasonal and it features an all-new cast of sumptuous sweets and savouries curated from scratch by The Table Bay\u2019s dynamic new Pastry Chef, Lee-Andra Govender<\/a>. \u00a0Relishing the opportunity to be creative and add her personal flair to the menu, Govender says she changed \u201ceverything\u201d. Her inspiration?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new season; an abundance of perfect locally-produced, seasonal ingredients, and the joy of new beginnings. I love watching new trends and experimenting in the kitchen to create my own unique versions of what\u2019s in, new and hot. I have had tremendous fun creating the new high tea menu, especially taking simple yet beautiful ingredients and giving them a chance to shine,\u201d says Govender.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0\"High<\/h4>\n

Meet Lee-Andra Govender<\/h4>\n

She recently moved from Sun International\u2019s flagship property, Time Square in Menlyn Maine, to assume the role as Head Pastry Chef at the prestigious Table Bay. Since then, she has been busily working on the new menu and acclimatising to her new surroundings at the heart of South Africa\u2019s food and tourism capital, Cape Town.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new on the menu for the High Tea at The Table Bay?<\/h4>\n

Asked which of the new, inspired treats she would recommend first, she quickly says:\u00a0\u201cThe Strawberry Cheesecake. It is always a favourite for me. Strawberry is such a versatile fruit. I don\u2019t know many people who don\u2019t like it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her version of Strawberry Cake is inspiring; from the indulgent cheesecake itself, to the innovative components – like basil gel, chocolate garnish and fresh strawberries \u2013 that combine to complete the dessert. Another highlight on the rejuvenated menu is the Guava and Vanilla dessert, a delectable combination of sweet pastry, jaconde sponge, vanilla mousse, guava Szechuan pepper mousse and poached guava. Chocolate lovers will find sanctuary tucking into what Govender calls \u201cThe Cherry\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really is the cherry on the cake for chocolate fans. Imagine dark chocolate mousse, chocolate sponge and Fabbri Amarena Cherries on a dark chocolate croustillant base, and loaded with chocolate twigs and other delights,\u201d says Govender.<\/p>\n

There is also something for coffee enthusiasts<\/a>, the Espresso Blonde Brownie, and for those who enjoy the age old favourite of Lemon Meringue, but with a twist. The high tea is a feast for the senses, with a colourful array of macarons and homemade bon bons, as well as a journey of textures. The extensive selection of sweets is neatly balanced with a choice of savouries, such as Thai chicken and prawn skewers, butternut arancini<\/a>, and a luxurious array of artisanal cheeses and handcrafted crackers.<\/p>\n
