We like the unique and varied tea mixes and the helpful and sort of knowledgeable staff. Tea sets and breakfast here can be rather expensive and at times the place is rather crowded. The price of the tea sets and breakfast is not justified as it's nothing fantastic. Can only recommend the tea, and best when there's a promotion. Promotion these days seem hard to come by! Their cakes are not bad. Who can go much wrong with cream, sugar and chocolate? Presentation of the cakes are really good but the taste isn't too fantastic. Maybe we'll stick with the teas only. The macarons are usually all available but the cakes can change and vary daily.

Cleverly perched on a "suspended" standalone area within Republic Plaza, you have to walk up a short flight of stairs from the first floor which will lead you to the sales area with its shelves of gourmet tea as well as the restaurant. TWG can only take about 30 people or so and oozes cosy warmth with its intimate dining area, huge glass windows with translucent curtains coupled with a glass ceiling.Imperial Rose - I am honestly not a tea connoisseur but the Imperial Rose, which is a specialty brew of TWG, tasted very much like a Chinese tea, 铁观音.Sandwiches - This came as part of my tea time "Celebration Set". 8 half slices of bread sandwiching prawns, crab meat, foie gras and smoked salmon respectively, it appealed to my visual senses with its presentation. However, even though the bread was nicely toasted, I didn't quite take to them. The crab meat and prawns sandwiches were passable but the smoked salmon was way too salty and the foie gras just didn't come across as appetising, both in smell and taste.Salmon A La Russ - I can't say much about the smoked salmon except that it was salty and came topped roe. However, the brioche that was served alongside was interestingly good. It actually tasted like croissant - flaky and buttery.Macarons - Another component of my tea time set, we chose praline, lemon and napolean tea macarons from the 6 or so varieties TWG carries. Personally I still prefer their vanilla macaron, something which they didn't have at that point in time.Singapore Surprise - Insipid as it looked, the Singapore surprise came highly recommended by the staff. And I was rather impressed. It was essentially vanilla bean creme brulee sans the caramelised layer with bits of strawberries sandwiched in between and served on a tart base. A stellar example of never judging a book by its cover. Best of all, it was part of my set as well.Crumble - I didn't have much of the crumble so I shall reserve my comments. The ice cream sounded interesting though - Napolean Tea cheesecake ice cream, which was apparently very well received by the aspiring tai tai who sat across from me.A 3.5 hr tea session cost us about $82, which probably isn't the cheapest place to chill out but for the delightful ambience and earnest service, its probably worth it to dig deep into your pockets just for a relaxing afternoon at this place with your partner or alone with a book.

Not sure about the overpriced macarons. Nice flavours and variety but still not up to the standard of Darcis. Rather expensive too. But always fully stocked and very colourful - hence always enticing. Quality and taste still needs some tweaking.The teas are great! Great variety but once again, highly over-priced. Nice jars and tins and presentation. Pretty fresh and good quality tea leaves too. But more expensive than what we're used to for better quality.

The shops is really colourful and lively looking due to the colours of the tins and jars and cakes and macarons. It's like a crayon box!
