It was few days back after I clean up my locker for clearance when I saw this flyer and caught the attention of the high tea offer which is way beyond affordable.
And so I called the number on the flyer to check with them what's inclusive with price.
A lady with a familiar accent answered on the other line.
And I asked what are the inclusions and what should I expect when I get there.
I was transferred to another person and the second person explained to me the details and I made a reservation for the following day.
The next day came and I received a call confirming my reservation.
I was late when I arrived and the first impression I had was, this place looks expensive.
We were greeted by the staff and handed us our cards, the cards will be used to charge us whenever ordering.
The place is so fine. The chairs are made of dark woods and the tables are white. There are plenty of huge capsicums decorating the entire restaurant.
The place is remarkable with its sculptured wood and glass walls and the pillars resembling the super trees of the nearby Gardens by the Bay.
The restaurant is spacious, instrumental music were playing softly in the background which adds to the warm ambiance.
It was not busy when we arrived so we are free to choose our seats so we sat on the long couch adjacent the sculptured wall, facing the Med Garden counter.
We came for the high tea promotion and we were expecting a staff to hand us the menu but since there's none, I dared to ask.
I was instructed to go to the Med Garden to place the order, which I did. I handed the staff my order card to charge the items and we were asked if we want coffee or tea.
"Coffee, for us, please." And I smiled.
I went back to my seat and minutes later welcome drinks which resembles tequila sunrise were served on long stemmed flutes. Mocktails are they according to the server.
Few minutes have passed and our coffee came. The coffee were served on wide-rimmed shallow cups underlined with serviette and comes with foamed milk on the side.
While sipping the welcome drinks, the food came on a two-tiered tray. The base tray consists of several canapes like tuna, smoked salmon and ham and french fries. The upper tray is for the dessert; velvet and cream cake, crispy-layered cake and creme brulee.
It us such an enjoyable dining experience we have in this place. I will certainly return to try their steaks and pastas.
The restaurant also hold functions and have an al fresco dining area if you want to enjoy cocktail drinks.
What I like the most are the tiny frames of mirrors hanging just outside the gents, very classic.
Another place where nothing's free. Pay for drinking tap water. After all you're in Singapore.
