High - Tea @ WOOBAR, W Hotel

Been wanting to try out the high-tea set at W Hotel for the longest time.

Located in Sentosa Cove, W Hotel is one of the newest hotel to open its doors in Singapore this year. Since then, the "DROP THE T2" high-tea set from it's lounge bar, WOOBAR, had been making waves through the little sunny island.


Eager to bring Mum and Dad to explore Sentosa Cove while showing them the free drive-in access into Sentosa with my Islander Card, I made a date with them since Dad was not working.


Tea menu

The wide selection of TWG Tea is free-flow from 3pm to 5pm. Apart from that, you can choose from a variety of coffee such as the usuals Cappuccino and Lattes.


A variety of sweets

There was even a variety of sweetness for your drink: brown sugar, fine sugar, honey etc.

As the high-tea set was for 2 person, I ordered an extra drink for myself while sharing the set with Mum and Dad.

My choice of drink is always Hot Chocolate.


Hot Chocolate


It is hard to find a place with Hot Chocolate that has the right amount of milk and cocoa powder. And WOOBAR is one place where the Hot Chocolate is just average.


The set was served as soon as the drinks were served. Service was fast.

Getting Sandwiched

From left:
  • Grey Shrimp Brioche Classic Cocktail  - just shrimp with sandwich
  • Rich Baked Gruyere Tart Thyme Tomato Jelly - tasted like pizza in a tart. I like!
  • Smoked Salmon Profiteroles Cream Faiche and Chives - just salmon with sandwich
  • Foie Gras Ganache Tart Pot Wine, Gold Leaf - interesting mix of foie gras with pot wine.

From Top:
  • Pistachio and Chocolate Macaroons - average tasting macaroons, not the Laduree standard
  • Cranberry and Chocolate Scones with Passion Fruit Curd, Clotted Cream - I love scones, I love cream. Not the best, but it was rather nice.
  • Metallic W LCM's 
  • Chocolate and Coconut Sponge Fresh Cream - reminded me of a cake I had in Gold Coast Australia!
  • Passion fruit Meringue (Clotted Cream and Mango) - I still prefer my chocolate marshmallow meringue from Antoinette
  • Vanilla Cream Slice Crisp Pastry 
  • Baked Custard Tart Cinnamon Dust

Overall, though the high-tea set was rather average, it is worth the price for the free-flow of drinks and the beautiful scenery.



I love bringing my parents out (of Jurong) to "see the world"!
