Afternoon tea goes keto at this wellness hotel in Ortigas
The ketogenic or keto diet has been a buzzword among health-conscious Filipinos in the last few years, praised for its effectiveness in supporting weight loss and improving overall health.
Centered on low-carb, high-fat eating, the diet shifts the body into a state of burning fat for fuel, making sugar-free and carb-conscious meals essential for its followers.
If you're practicing the keto lifestyle, The Westin Manila has introduced a keto-friendly Afternoon Tea set, offering a thoughtfully curated spread of savory and sweet bites that align with low-carb and sugar-free eating.
Joining the wellness hotel's Classic and Matcha afternoon tea sets, this new option is ideal for mindful snackers, casual catch-ups, or small meetings with a healthier twist.
Developed by The Westin Manila's culinary team in collaboration with local keto brand Chrisha's Kitchen, the tea set includes savory items like Mushroom and Chicken Tart with truffle tapenade and mascarpone, Avocado Tartine on almond cracker crumble, and Smoked Salmon Caesar Bites with garlic parmesan cream, and almond flour scones.
The dessert selection features sugar-free favorites such as Carrot Walnut Cake, Tiramisu, and Pistachio Silvanas to satisfy the sweet tooth without breaking ketosis.
The set is priced at P2,495 for two, including one round of keto-friendly fresh watermelon juice, tea, or coffee with almond, soy, or coconut milk.
The keto-friendly Afternoon Tea is available daily at The Westin Manila's Lobby Lounge from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. until September 30.
The Westin Manila is located at San Miguel Ave. cor Lourdes Dr., Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City.
