In addition to The Lounge afternoon tea, the Four Seasons has also launched their super-cute collection of handmade chocolate Easter eggs ($230-$420), available for sale at the ground floor Boutique. The detailed chick or bunny designs are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

The tea set can be enjoyed in the cozy comforts of the Lobby Lounge, or at their fine-dining, panoramic view establishment, Le 188°. The high tea menu features various exclusively Easter treats, including the painted strawberry mousse egg, rabbit shaped cookies and almost-too-cute to eat marzipan bunnies. If you finish eating before 4:30pm, you can take the dining receipt to the hotel’s salon room and join in the special Easter activities—including face painting, cake making and egg painting—for free.
Price: $288 for two

Extravagant Easter
For an unforgettable Easter evening, reserve a table at Petrus, Island Shang. The kitchen team at the two Michelin-star restaurant is putting together a gourmet eight-course set dinner, which will be available all through the long Easter weekend. The menu highlights the freshest and bestest seasonal produce in dishes such as oysters with caviar, sake with lime vinaigrette, and roast Aveyron lamb with spring veggies in spices and cilantro. The dinner also features a warm Easter egg à la Petrus. The meal is indulgent enough as is, but for a truly extravagant evening, go for the wine-pairing option, which features several fine wines from Argentina, Belgium and—of course—France.
Price: $1,280 ($1,880 with wine-pairing)
Available: April 2-5, 6:30pm-10:30pm.
