Whenever I pass by Takashimaya level 2 for 1 reason or another, I would always see a queue at this Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge. It looks quite classy & expensive, & I never dared to step in. That is, until the last Sat of October. The tea lounge is tastefully furnished with fine teaware & furniture. We were lucky that one of us reached just before the queue formed & was thus able to grab a table for 3 without waiting for long hehe.We ordered the Royal Deluxe Tea Set for two and an additional pot

We ordered the Royal Deluxe Tea Set for two and an additional pot of Earl Grey Tea as there were 3 of us. Here's what the set comprised of:
- 2 mini Open Face House sandwiches
- 2 pieces of Homemade Scones
- 2 slice of cakes (showcase selection)
- 2 slices of Homemade Baked Quiches
- Cup of Coffee or Tea (for 2 persons)
Please do not expect the tea to be some exotic tea breed, it's jus normal tea, and you add your own milk & sugar according to personal preference. The additional pot of tea which we ordered, costs $6.90++, which was quite reasonable, but too bad no refill was allowed.
The 2 mini open face house sandwiches are supposed to be Danish traditional delicacies, and there is only a small bit of bread at the bottom, below the "stack" of prawns & tuna. It tasted somewhat "raw" to us and we weren't used to such taste.
Everything else in the set was fantastic hehe. The homemade baked Quiche was delicious! The 2 slices of cakes we picked - Almond Meringue & Chocolate Royale, were fluffy & nice too. I only took a small bite of the chocolate cake as 1 of my friends only wanted to eat this and drink her earl grey tea. Not too bad, but I find the Almond Meringue cake even better, really fluffy & yummy!
Last but not least, our fresh-from-the-oven homemade scones came (served with butter, whipped cream & jam). It was really nice, even the jam had big berries in it
We were really full at the end of the tea session. This tea lounge is good for a lazy afternoon of tea session with a bunch of girlfriends, perhaps after shopping hehe. But we guess a beta time to visit this lounge would be on weekday afternoons instead. We went on a Saturday & it was so noisy as everyone was busy chatting away! After we left the lounge, I could feel a bit of sore in my throat already, must be due to the fact that I tried to talk louder for my friends to hear me amidst the noise......
So, do pick the right time to be there, so that u can make yr $ worth
