A refined take on modern Korean desserts arrives in Jakarta.

The St. Regis Jakarta presents a distinctive Korean-inspired afternoon tea experience through an exclusive collaboration with acclaimed pastry chef Eunjung Cho of Honeybee Seoul, complemented by a curated selection of contemporary Korean cakes that showcase her refined approach to modern patisserie.

Chef Eunjung Cho joins The St. Regis Jakarta’s Executive Pastry Chef Kevin Lee for A Tale of Three Heritages Afternoon Tea at The Drawing Room, offering a thoughtfully curated experience that brings together culinary influences from France, Korea and Indonesia. Chef Kevin’s savoury creations reflect his French heritage while incorporating Indonesian flavours, while Chef Cho’s desserts, crafted using premium Valrhona chocolate and inspired by Seoul’s contemporary café culture, create a balanced and elegantly expressive afternoon tea experience.

Extending the collaboration, Rosé Gourmand Deli presents A Slice of Seoul, centred around Chef Cho’s beloved signature Bear Cake—a creation that embodies her distinctive balance of technical precision and playful creativity.

Available from the 19th of June to the 31st of July, the collaboration brings a touch of Korea to Jakarta through Chef Cho’s interpretation of contemporary dessert culture.
