The Lobby Lounge @ Conrad has recently revamped their British English high tea / afternoon tea offerings, offering more unpretentious food options, including an oyster bar and 2 meat carving stations!
Ambience at Lobby Lounge @ Conrad is cozy. The plush, well furnished interior below a 24-carat gold leaf ceiling features comfortable chairs, knee height tables, and warm colours of wood and browns, with warm mood lighting. Part of the appeal is the various open food stations, laid out around the Lobby Lounge @ Conrad, and you can walk around and examine the items on offer!
Service at Lobby Lounge @ Conrad is friendly, polite, and professional. I find staff to be knowledgable on the food items displayed, and they initially cleared empty dishes quickly. The desserts chefs are able to name ingredients in each dessert, while the meat carving chefs mostly stand ready at their stations. I also like that staff top up the high tea buffet stations, so the food display always looks full.
As befitting a high tea / afternoon tea, the buffet spread at Lobby Lounge @ Conrad has over 30 varieties of sweets and pastries, and a decent range of savoury items. Portions are all bite sized, allowing diners to sample many different items without filling up. Generally, in terms of taste, I prefer the sweet items over the savoury items here.
I loved the Quail Eggs Benedict With Truffles Hollandiase! You can taste the different ingredients in 1 mouthful, with the savoury ham, the runny quail egg, and the soft English muffin and spinach. The perfect eggs benedict in 1 bite!
A spin on the traditional British English high tea classic, the Cucumber Sandwich, the version here is the Finger Sandwich With Cucumber, Cream Cheese And Baby Prawns. The cucumber slices are outside the bread, while the inside is filled with a mix of fresh prawn meat, diced, held together with cream cheese. Taste is refreshing, sweet, and savoury all at once. Very good!
I liked the Mini Pavlova, with its almost meringue like texture. The fruits on top add a burst of freshness.
The Mixed Fruit Tartlet was decent, featuring a good mix of fresh fruits. The crust has a crumbly biscuit texture, and it's possible to eat this in 1 mouthful!
There were 10 varieties of Chocolate Truffles during my visit. Yes, you can totally indulge in as many as you want (I did), all of them are contain no alcohol. The ones I sampled here all had no nuts or dried fruits as well, mostly consisting of a flavoured ganache center, such as mango, orange or cherry, or a simple center of caramel, white chocolate, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate.
