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.

Decorative bird cage

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"!

Mum & Dad joining in the cam-whoring!

The glamorous high-tea experience at WOOBAR happens daily from 3-5pm that features an exquisite selection of Dilmah’ s finest tea and savory delights served up in a silver bird cage with a whimsical touch. Priced at SGD$58++ for two persons (Weekend SGD68++).

New Partner is (Food) crime

These days, I've met my new partner in (food) crime. And it's a bliss to be able to share all that cravings with someone who lives to eat too. No doubt that our other halves have been the victim of our sinful crimes. The poor guys have put on so much weight, thanks to our excessive food indulgence.


Today, we decided to meet without our men for the 1st time... to indulge!

Antoinette at Palais Renaissance

We were spoiled for choice but I settled for my favourite Chocolate Marshmallow Meringue while she had a simple yet awesome Strawberry Shortcake. 

It was a wonderful place for an afternoon tea with a very beautiful lady for company. Looking forward to more FOOD together!

Hi-Tea @ TWG

It is a girls' day out to celebrate a dear friend's recent engagement.

No words can describe how happy I feel to know that she had finally found someone to settle down with, especially after all that she had been through. Hence, the best celebration is to do something out of our norm!


There's a Hi-Tea craze going around if you haven't realised: Everyone wants to sit around and sip tea!

Not that I'm complaining since I'm a huge fan for tea. But I am quite upset that famous Hi-Tea set at Woo Bar Sentosa is fully booked for this long holiday weekend.

Thankfully, there's always other places to satisfy that hi-tea craving.

TWG (ION Orchard)

Apart from the hi-tea set, there are other ala carte items that were rather reasonably priced for such an upmarket cafe.

Since the set menu didn't appeal to us, we each order something from the ala carte menu. Spending approximately S$43 each, it was a very filling brunch complete with tea, pastries and even a main course. 



I will be going back there again soon for more pastries!


Continued the afternoon with some shopping, and look what I bought:



I guess that girls at different point of their lives shop for different things:
Singles spend on pricey bags, Brides spend on little knick knacks for their wedding, Mothers spend on items for their kids.

But at the end of the day, it is still SHOPPING!

TCC by the Bay

I love moments like these...

High tea / Lunch with Shawn and my parents at a boutique cafe.



Dad is a "zi-char" type of person who loves his typical Singapore-style food at chinese restaurants. Bring him to Nan Hwa Chong Fish Steamboat at Beach Road or Yummy Claypot at Joo Chiat Road, and he'd feel right at home. Mum is a HDB tai-tai who occasionally visits places like PS Cafe for high-tea with her BFFs. But apart from that, their daily routine after work would be to have some tea at Jurong Point.
 
Since I had the TCC Loyalty Card with 50% off on my birthday month, it was the perfect excuse to drag them out of their comfort zone and bring them to "see the world". And alas, Dad loved the place for its peace and tranquility. Mum enjoyed herself equally having all the staff at TCC serving our table only as we were the only guest around.


It was a simple 2 hour high-tea / lunch, yet I enjoyed myself as moments like these were rare back when I was working. Now, I just couldn't help wondering how this afternoon would be like when a little one comes along.
