Their hightea starts from 3pm - 5pm on Fri- Sun at $56++ or $66++ with a glass of champagne per person. We have made reservation on a Saturaday and arrived at 3pm.
The high tea starts with a 3-tier set with 4 types of sandwiches, Scones - which consists of some plain scones and cranberry scones. As you can see, the scones were wrapped in a cloth to keep it moist and warm. So when eaten, the scones were moist and soft on the inside while rather crispy on the outside.
For the choice of one hot savoury, We have ordered a Creme Brulee Foie Gras - which is foie gras creme brulee with red onion compote and a Vol Au Vent A La Francaise - which is a oven baked puff pastry filled with creamy chicken and mushroom filling.
The Creme Brulee Foie Gras tasted quite amazing and kind of weird with the savoury foie gras topped with burnt caramel. Well, we didnt really like the taste of it. On the other hand, the Vol Au Vent A La Francaise tasted very nice, as the baked pastry was very well baked. It was very crispy and flaky on the outside and with the creamy chicken and musroom filling, it tasted very nice.
We also get to choose 2 miniature pastries each to go with our coffee and tea. The miniature pastries all tasted rather nice and fresh. I love the chocolate pastry the most which tasted rather strong and not very sweet.
Well, the high tea at St Regis was rather expensive but you will definetly love the ambience of the place and the quality of the service and food. Its okay to pamper yourself once in a while.
