Recently I had a chance to try the afternoon tea set ($68 per pax) and I must say, the ambience, food and service is not bad but with some misses.

The set comes with a cocktail, a set of savoury dishes, free flow desserts and a choice of their selection of tea or coffee. Their savouries come with quite premium ingredients, such as truffle, crabmeat and foie gras. One of my favourites has to be the Unagi Kabayaki Bun, as it was stuffed with a thick slab of unagi that was beautifully seasoned and was very tender! The Duck Rilletes Tart was not bad as well, as the foie gras given was huge and rich. However, we all agree that the tart given was too big, and as it was very rich it would fill you up very quickly. The truffle brie sandwich was sadly a disappointment as it tasted really weird.

As for their desserts line, the selection was quite extensive and everything was not bad! My favourites got to be their macarons and their crepe! Soft and slightly crispy on the edges, the crepe was stuffed full of dark chocolate and hence was very rich.

All in all, their afternoon tea can be quite expensive for the quality they offer. Considering that Colony is one of the best buffet restaurants in Singapore, their lunch or dinner buffet is better preferred!
