Nice compilation there. Now we know where to head to for a economical yet decent teabreak! thank you so much for this post!
Awesome! Anyway i’m not too sure if they still serve it, but if i’m not wrong, Flor Patisserie has tea sets (slice of cake + tea/coffee) but i can’t remember the timings and prices, sorry!
Thanks for a very useful list. More often than not, we just need a nice place to relax and chat. Just a cake and a coffee/tea is perfect. This list is exactly what I need ;D
for Marmalade Toast, it is $6.90 nett. Best value for $ High tea ever in Sg!
I don’t recommend their cheescake though unless you are a big fan of cheese; it’s too rich. easy to get gelak unless you share with a friend. The Chocolate Truffle cake is good though, so is their pear tart!
I like their Earl Grey Tea too
this entry is so helpful! and there i was thinking high tea will be forever too ex
totally will have some tea time like a sir.
Brad, your picture is so beautiful and yummy!
The buffet as mentioned above, are some halal?
Hey my friend recommended me to your review blog and today I took your suggestions and went for my first visit to Canele and yup, a very satisfied customer I am.
I shall try out your other ‘affortable’ recommendations.. soon I hope.
the desserts look so nice especially the one in Fruit Paradise..
Sigh, my pictures can never be as good as yours, Brad. How did you get your pictures nice and bright without the flash overpowering the subject?
I love this post oh so so much!! =`)
Hey Brad,
Tokyo Deli Cafe is replaced with a raman shop!
Shin Kushiya do not serve afternoon tea anymore as it was a promotion event sometime back (confirmed by the restaurant staff-Jasmine). Appreciate if you could take this restaurant out of the listing. Thank you.
At Laurent’s café & Chocolate bar at Robertson quay they also have a Tea time promotion during afternoon. From 8$ to 9,8$ patrie+coffee or tea. You can even try their famous chocolate soufflé!
I love Foster’s set. Not the cheapest listed, but a very good price for the spread. The carrot cake slice is delicious, the scones with clotted cream and jam are great and the sandwiches nice too. AND – Fosters has lovely comfy sofa chairs and a nice terrace overgrown with green. And I love the older uncle who works there, very friendly and attentive. It’s both relaxing and delicious.
Hi Brad,
What is your favorite place for High Tea in Singapore?
Thanks!
