I've heard raves about this place being one of the best in Singapore for high tea, but was a bit concern about whether it'll be an ideal place for dinner as well, since we're about to patronize Plaza Singapura to catch Eat, Pray, Love after work on a Friday night.On the outside, Tea Cosy looked unlike any other place in the mall, with a blend of retail therapy that offers angels and vintage furniture for sale as well as cosy dining with nicely crafted comfort food.Initially, I thought Tea Cosy i
On the outside, Tea Cosy looked unlike any other place in the mall, with a blend of retail therapy that offers angels and vintage furniture for sale as well as cosy dining with nicely crafted comfort food.
Initially, I thought Tea Cosy is just another pretty place without much regards for the quality of the food as most pretty places are, but surprise surprise, their food is as delicious as it is well-presented.
Take their Tea Cosy Peppermint Cool ($5.95) for our first example. Arriving with style in a martini glass, the drink was an interesting shade of baby blue with 4 colorful flower marshmallows floating on a bed of foam, contained by a glass rim of brown grainy sugar. It's arrival halted us in our conversations, as my girlfriends demanded to try out my drink. Hmmm, interesting strong taste of milk and peppermint, they all seem to agree.
Next came the Volcano Nachos ($10.95) which caused an eruption amongst four of us as we attack the corn chips and dipped it into the bed of melted cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeno chillies. A definite crowd pleaser as it provides as with something to pick at while we waited for our main course and chatted about office woes.
The Tangy Tomato and Crabmeat Soup sounds delicious on the menu, but it was merely ordinary and nothing tangy about it. A waste of stomach space if you'll ask me. The Baked Mushrooms ($9.50)starter, on the other hand, is worth a mention. Bite-sized and addictive, it came in 10 pieces, topped with sun-dried tomato strips and melted Parmesan cheese and was quickly gobbled up in a matter of seconds.
For the main course, I had the Smoked Salmon and Prawn Salad ($13.95) which was nothing spectacular but overall still quite enjoyable. I even had room for their creme brulee, my favorite type of dessert!
Overall, I would say I'll definitely come back here again. It is indeed a piece of heaven in a crowded mall like Plaza Singapura.
