We were just in time for Tea Time Set Menus (available from 3 - 6pm) after our seminar in Microsoft. Since it was friday, we decided to have some discussions over tea and stroll our way from Marina Boulevard to MBS (The shoppes). Once seated, the menus were handed over to us and we were all overwhelmed by its menu. We were simply spoil with choices out of the pages and types of tea range we can choose from.

Once seated, the menus were handed over to us and we were all overwhelmed by its menu. We were simply spoil with choices out of the pages and types of tea range we can choose from. Since the writeup on the tea in the main menu was not that detailed, each of us were given an "encyclopedia" for tea whereby the origins and histories of the tea leaves were make easy by flipping the encyclopedia based on the tag number given. All of us are tea experts, thus it took us quite sometime to make our mind.
I had chosen menu 1837 which costs $19. What is included in the menu? - TWG Tea from their extensive tea list
- A choice of 2 homemade scones or muffins served with TWG Tea jelly and whipped cream or 1 patisserie from their trolley
Open air dining on MBS bridge was rather a cooling experience and a way to relax oneself after a week of work. Anyone who popped their head over the parapets of the building could have easily see us enjoying the laid back lifestyle on such a hot afternoon.
My pot of lavender kiss tea was different, it was transparent and I was told to wait 5 minutes for osmosis to take place in the tea flower. Little silver sieve was given to separate the residues from the tea while pouring them from the tea pot.
Chosen its pastries over its scones and muffins. Singapore's surprise is a creme brulee tart filled with vanilla bourbon & tea-infused cream with cranberry. Heard from the server that it was its best seller, no wonder, it was the last piece on its trolley.
Another tea infused blueberries tart from the trolley bought by my pal. Blue and raspberries were tightly attached to the layer of the tart. Just like the Singapore's Surprise, these tarts were sufficiently sweet.
The total amount spent by 3 pax.
