While I love going to fancy restaurants, it is impossible to spend so much on food all the time. That’s why I am always on the lookout for cafes that serve decent food at affordable prices.
Tea Cosy at Plaza Singapura is one of them. It serves a pretty decent afternoon high tea at $29.95 for two, from 2.30pm to 6pm daily.
The Tea Cosy Supreme High Tea Set ($29.95 for two, $19.95 for one) comes with seafood or non-seafood items, sweets (choice of two English Scones or three Miniature Cakes) and a beverage (English Breakfast Tea, Coffee or Lemonade).
If there are two of you having the high tea set, you can opt for both the seafood and non-seafood items, which will give you Grilled Prawn Cocktail, Foie Gras Taster, Turkey Ham Crostini, Smoked Salmon Crostini, Parmesan Toast, Baked Mushroom, and Crispy Duck Crostini; and for desserts, two English Scones and three Miniature Cakes.
It sounds like a lot of food, but it is actually manageable as they are served in bite-sized portions.
If the high tea set doesn’t appeal to you, Tea Cosy has an ala carte menu which starts at appetisers like Tea Cosy Decadent Salad ($16.95) and Baked Mushrooms ($9.95); through sandwiches like Smoked Salmon Toasts ($13.95) and Beef Steak Burger ($13.95); then up to pastas and main courses like Braised Duck Pasta ($14.95) and Miso Dory ($18.95); and end off with desserts like Cupcakes ($3.85) and English Scones ($6.95).
The food is nothing special, but for a nice, quiet and relatively affordable afternoon tea in Orchard road, Tea Cosy at level five of Plaza Singapura is the place to go.

The baked mushrooms there are awesome!
The service there is bad. Went there once and wouldn’t want to go back there again.
The above cafe have been closed last year….
