TWG at Marina Bay Sands
Service still kinda sucks, but I can’t resist the pretty crockery and fragrant teas. The scones are some of the best I’ve had especially with the clotted cream and refreshing tea jam. The sandwiches are forgettable and pathetic for the … Continue reading

High Tea Set at ION’s Marmalade Pantry
I was not impressed by the service. First we were ignored in the queue and later it took quite a while for us to be served. I guess the tea at 3pm is just too popular and they are understaffed … Continue reading

Hyatt High Tea
It has been a long time since we’ve had high tea at Hyatt. I have fond memories of high tea with my Aunty S as the waterfall rushed down in their old cosy lounge. It’s now called 10 Scotts Lounge … Continue reading

My Favourite Hotels for High Tea
Blogged about it here. If only the Fullerton Bay High Tea would start earlier and last longer like the one at Shangri-la, I would declare it as my top pick.

Arteastiq (Sorely Disappointed)
We both felt ripped off and we came here with very high expectations seeing the impressive decor from afar. We were at Mandarin Gallery and passed by the art space cum tea salon the day before and even thought we … Continue reading

A New TWG at ION: Smug Service, but I’m a Sucker for the Tea
We have wanted to try the high tea at TWG but always miss out as we are there well before 3pm. It seems worthwhile. But now that I’ve tried it I’m not so sure. All the items are so tiny. … Continue reading

I’m a Sucker for TWG at Marina Bay Sands
I still like the ambience and tea here even though the price cannot be justified especially for the tiny crepe and crappy cake. The best dessert item I’ve had here was the creme brulee tart and the best savoury item … Continue reading

Tea & Quiche at TWG (Marina Bay Sands)
I know this place has a huge mark-up as I’ve been told, but I can’t help but like it. I am quite fond of the tea here. Also the decor makes me think, this is what a tea Salon in … Continue reading

Afternoon Tea at Goodwood Park Hotel
I am yet again embarrassed to say that this is from two weeks ago. I’ve been so tardy. Had wonderful company at the high tea and we all agreed that the bread used for the sandwiches was a tad too … Continue reading

Fullerton Bay Hotel: Afternoon Tea
I think I’ve just been treated to the best high tea in Singapore. I used to think it was Rose Veranda. The company must have made for a good experience as well. The ambience at the Landing Point at Fullerton … Continue reading

Relaxing High Tea at the Rose Veranda (Part 2 of 2)
So many types of tea and pretty tea cups. There was coffee as well. But i missed the Viennese coffee that they used to serve. This was just brewed coffee. I tend to have a preference for earl grey or … Continue reading

Relaxing High Tea at the Rose Veranda (Part 1 of 2)
Shangri-la Hotel’s Rose Veranda has become our default high tea place as the staff always make us feel at home. The food may not be the highest quality, but it has a down to earth cosy vibe which we really … Continue reading

Afternoon Tea: The Knolls at Capella Singapore
If you ever make a trip to Singapore, and especially if you’re female, afternoon tea is a must. It’s an English tradition, but something that’s done really well in Singapore probably due to our colonial heritage. The Rose Veranda at … Continue reading

Octa Hotel: Parisian Cafe, Japanese Style
There’s something about sipping tea or coffee and indulging in dainty pastries and exquisite parfaits that’s just so feminine. I am always attracted by pretty cafes and Octa Hotel turned my head when I first saw it. At first glance … Continue reading
Singapore Indulgence: High Tea at The Rose Veranda
