Whether you’re entertaining out-of-towners or simply crave an indulgent afternoon with the girls, high tea is always a good idea. Here are some of the top teas to try across Singapore.
Atrium
Pan Pacific Singapore Level 1, 7 Raffles Boulevard 6826 8240 | panpacific.com
Teatime: The Nostalgic Weekend High Tea Buffet ($48 per person) takes place on Saturdays and Sundays from 2.30 to 5.30pm.
The spread: Every weekend, the dramatic 44 metre long bar at Pan Pacific’s Atrium transforms into a splendid spread of English and Peranakan signatures. This afternoon tea buffet is popular with tourists, locals and expats alike, who catch up over drinks and nibbles in the private seating pods that float over a stunning reflection pool.
Thankfully, the items displayed at the buffet line are mini-sized, so you’ll get to sample a wide variety without getting too stuffed. On the Peranakan end, must-tries include the handcrafted Peranakan pork sausages made with Asian spices and herbs, ayam panggang (grilled chicken) skewers and otah quiche, a slightly spicy twist to the Western classic. We also enjoyed the kueh pie tee station, where we got to customise ours with traditional garnishes. For those who aren’t familiar with Nyonya cuisine, kueh pie tee is a crispy, bite-sized cup topped with fried turnip and other fillings like egg and prawn. It’s one of my favourite Asian snacks and I certainly wasn’t disappointed by the version offered here! Chef Nancy Teo heads the Peranakan kitchen, where fresh kueh is handmade, too. We loved the kueh dadar – sweet coconut-stuffed pancake roll – and bite-sized ondeh ondeh, which oozed a generous amount of heavenly, molten gula melaka.
