Aesthetics wise, the Atrium Lounge High Tea ($48++ per person) is one of the prettiest high tea I have been to, from the gorgeous picnic basket right down to the dainty little desserts that are almost too cute to be eaten.
We started off with Cranberry Jasmine Tea Scones, which are served warm with jam, butter and mascarpone cheese on the side.
The star of the savoury bites is definitely the Forest Mushroom and Chicken Fricassee with Cheese Au Gratin. It is surprisingly flavourful, creamy and delicious. The Salmon, Avocado and Pickled Cucumber Brioche and Unagi and Tamago Wrap are not bad too - they are pretty light and tasty. However, the Pulled Smoked Wagyu Beef Slider is quite disappointing as the beef is rather dry, and the Open-Faced Sandwich with Tomato, Cream Cheese and Cheddar Shavings did not leave much of an impression either.
The desserts turned out to be the highlight of the high tea as each one of them is crafted beautifully in terms of taste, texture and presentation. I like that the desserts are not too sweet and they are quite light and delicate on the palate, such as the Peppermint Passionfruit Choux Puff, Sweet Potato Mont Blanc and Baked Cheesecake with Yuzu Curd. I do not have a sweet tooth but I must say that I am pretty impressed by the selection of sweet treats!
We ended off with Waffles with Caramel Banana Compote and Cranberry, Lavender and Chocolate Ice Cream/Sorbet in a White Chocolate Ball. The waffles are not as crispy as I like them to be, but the refreshing cranberry sorbet is a nice touch at the end of the meal to balance out the sweetness of the earlier desserts.
Overall, Iām pretty satisfied with the Atrium Lounge High Tea and this is definitely a feast for the eyes and stomach:)!
