TWG Fortune Tea Set

When I'm craving for something I don't care about the price or the distance or the wait list. Basically I don't care about anything. I just have to eat it or them that instant. In short, I'm back again at TWG.

This time I had the Fortune Tea Set, available only from 3PM-6PM.

For my tea, I chose Christmas Lights Tea. A green tea with almonds and nutmeg. A sweet tea according to the waiter. It smelled sweet, and tasted strongly of almonds. Like the almond cookies I ate a lot of in HK and Macau.

For my sandwich I had the Croque Monsieur. It was really good. With the bread being so buttery like a croissant. It was like having a delicious croque monsieur on a croissant. But I don't like the too earthy taste of the salad.
For my middle layer I didn't choose the scones and muffins combo, but rather had the Singapore Surprise from their cake display. I wanted the chocolate and matcha and the blackforest as I'm a chocoholic. But the waiter said that it's their specialty and that there's a surprise there somewhere. So even if I wanted the chocolate, I ordered the Singapore Surprise instead.

It was like a creamy pudding pie because of the bottom sweet pie crust. The top was bruleed. I wasn't sure if the surprise was the strawberry scattered inside the cake.

For my macarons choices I picked napoleon and caramel, earl grey and chocolate and praline.

And for my take-out I bought a box of 6 of macarons. I chose one each of the caramel, praline, berries and Lemon and two of my favorite chocolate. The berries tasted of baguio's strawberry jam, the praline tasted like a nocciola/hazelnut gelato, the caramel tasted of a strong caramel, the lemon of lemon bars. My favorite were first the chocolate and second the lemon.

Happy Eating!

TWG Cafe

After our Boon Tat dinner, we went to Marina Bay Sands to shop, watch the lights and fountain show and have dessert.




After shopping and watching the fountain show, it was now time for dessert. We chose to have dessert at the TWG Cafe. I mean I chose and they followed.




There were five of us so we ordered 3 pots of tea. We had the Choco Mint Truffle Tea ( a light after 8 chocolate/mint taste), Creme Caramel Tea (sweeter than the choco mint and has a darker color and taste) and Geisha Blossom Tea (this is the best, subtle but refreshing and soothing. Liked by all of us).








and for dessert: Chestnut Cake (the best among the desserts),


Green Tea Financier (mix of chocolate and green tea, bitter and sweet) and Canele (chewy, sweet and good with jams and clotted cream).



Overall, we were attended very well by all the staff, from the Singaporean hostess at the front steps (she even guided my mother up the steps and down after our snacks) to the Filipino and Singaporean waiters and manager that night. They even gave us a free chestnut cake. They were very nice and welcoming that we can't help but give them a big tip.

The gold tea pot covers were very classy especially when paired with the black pot, the seats were also very regal and the music was soft and relaxing. It was back to the hotel after that, but what a great day it was. I love my loots, the food I ate, the place I'm in and the company I'm with.
