Ever since I got to know of a 1-for-1 afternoon tea set promotion by UOB that is going on at Sheraton, I wanted to drop by for high tea and wonder what a three-tier afternoon tea experience would be like.This afternoon tea must be good this time round because Liang Wei felt that the previous one at the Dunearn was a horrible experience (thanks to the coffee).

This afternoon tea must be good this time round because Liang Wei felt that the previous one at the Dunearn was a horrible experience (thanks to the coffee). Presentation wise we are not disappointed when the three tiered afternoon tea set with scones, pastries, sandwiches and cakes was placed on our tiny round table. It was a nice visual start.
We had the Scones (with Devonshire Clotted Cream and Jam) first, personally, I wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t warm (probably after all the photo-taking) and most importantly, I find it too soft and lacking in flavour, I prefer Dunearn’s one with a crusty outer layer and a soft, fluffy interior. (But what are the real scones like?)
Next we have the sweets, the Dark Chocolate Tart received thumbs up from both Liang Wei and Mu Yao, it was delicious indeed. It is a delight for dark chocolate lovers like Liang Wei with rich, dark chocolate that melts in your mouth.
The Blueberry Cheesecake was surprisingly good, I wasn’t expecting much at first but the texture was quite smooth and the cheese flavour is just right. The cake has a decent balance.
I didn’t try the Raspberry Tart, but Liang Wei felt it was really good.
There is this chocolate sponge topped with white chocolate pastry, which I find rather ordinary.
Now on to the last tier, the savoury stuff. The Prawn Sandwich topped with Roe was quite good, fresh crunchy prawn on top of slice flavourful toasted bread.
Then you have Camenbert Cheese with Dried Fruits.
Mini Caprese style sandwich.
Some Croissants.
And my favourite, the Smoked Salmon ‘Swiss Roll’, not too salty and extremely tasty, I could pop a few more of it if there were more.
For tea, we had a pot of Chamomile Tea served with Australian Honey. The tea is probably Lipton tea, the tag was still there when it was served.
Liang Wei has a small jar of coffee for himself (which we shared later on)
But at the end of the day, I enjoyed this afternoon tea. The garden outside was pleasant to look at and the company was great.
The total bill came up to 32.95 SGD with 10% Service Charge and 7% GST. The afternoon tea set for one would cost 28.00 SGD without promotion.
