Lobby Lounge at Conrad transports you into a whimsical wonderland with an afternoon tea experience that's as enchanting as it is delicious. Each delicately crafted treat draws inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, with creative twists on classic flavors that bring a sense of surprise and sophistication to every bite.
The Sweets
The Rabbit in the Hole was a delightful start, featuring an Ivory Whip Ganache with Coconut Malibu Mousse and Gula Melaka Sponge. The Tea O'Clock was a standout with Valrhona Dulcey Chocolate Mousse, Dulcey Ganache, and the softest Tahitian Vanilla Chantilly, layered with a Hazelnut Dacquoise. For chocolate lovers, The Hatter offered a rich Komuntu 80% Chocolate Mousse with hints of brandy cherry and Kirsch Chantilly, creating a deep, indulgent flavor.
Savouries to Match
On the savory side, the Cheshire Purra sandwich roll with gravlax, crème fraîche, and beetroot pearls was refreshing and unique. The Scarlet Queen brought an intense creaminess with Oabika Nyangbo Cremeux, Vanilla Mousse, and Almond Joconde. Other notables included the Little Oinker Iberico Croquettes, crispy and flavorful with a hint of fermented garlic, and the Secret Garden tapioca ink crisp topped with avocado purée, orange fluid, and basil caviar for a playful bite.
The experience was rounded off with classic homemade scones, both plain and raisin, served with wild strawberry jam and clotted cream – a comforting nod to tradition amidst the imaginative spread.
Service was exceptional, with attentive staff ensuring our tea was constantly topped up. With free-flowing TWG tea and Bacha coffee, Lobby Lounge at Conrad's Whimsical Wonderland Afternoon Tea is a journey well worth taking.
Nestled amid lush greenery, @wildseedsg Wildseed Café’s 1-Flowerhill location offers a peaceful al fresco setting that’s perfect for unwinding. The natural surroundings add a refreshing escape, setting the scene for a relaxing afternoon high tea.
The high tea set itself was a nice balance of local flavors and sweet indulgences. For savory bites, the Mushroom Tartlet was delightfully earthy, the Satay Chicken Croissant had a light touch of spice, and the Chili Crab Kueh Pie Tee added an adventurous flair with its classic Singaporean flavors.
As for the sweets, each item brought its own unique character. The White Chocolate Crémeux paired beautifully with a tart raspberry compote, while the Buttery Scone had an irresistible crumb, enhanced by zesty lemon curd and airy honey-whipped butter. The Blueberry Almond Tart featured creamy mascarpone, and the Peach & Lychee Vanilla Cake felt light and summery. The Salted Caramel Macaron added a sweet-salty crunch, but my favorite of the day had to be the Strawberry Shortcake! Its layers were light, fruity, and just the right amount of sweet to leave a lasting impression.
All in all, Wildseed Café’s high tea set is a lovely treat if you’re looking for a relaxing escape with nature-inspired vibes and a unique mix of flavors. Whether you’re in for a chat with friends or a quiet solo afternoon, it’s definitely worth a visit!
