This glorious display includes two speciality teas of your choice (not including their alcoholic range) and bites such as kueh pie tee with crab stick, rainbow kueh lapis, soft gula melaka with red bean and glutinous rice wrapped in spicy shrimp.
Our absolute favourite has to be the glutinous rice wrapped in spicy shrimp—dense, chewy and accompanied by a spicy kick, this small but fiery mouthful undoubtedly packs a mean punch.

PAN PACIFIC SINGAPORE
One of the hallmarks of afternoon tea is undoubtedly the elegant crockery and dish-ware involved. Without the sophisticated pastry tiers and dainty cutlery, high tea wouldn’t be what it is. Pan Pacific Singapore has spiced things up a little at their high tea buffet (S$48++ for one pax, S$88++ for two pax) with a rad tea stand modelled after the iconic seating pods at the hotel’s Atrium.
Of course, a stunning tea stand would be pointless if the food isn’t on par. Thankfully, that won’t be the case at Pan Pacific Singapore. From savoury bites such as Japanese-inspired Wagyu Beef Teriyaki to sweet treats with the likes of Coffee Walnut Praline, this is a high tea buffet you’ll never forget.
