The Royal Mail - Part 1

This was one of the places that we wanted to try and it turns out to be a surprise find! The Royal Mail is located as Ascott Raffles Place and it it open for lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday. It is one of the participating outlets under the Palate Membership too! This means that for 2 diners, you will enjoy 50% of the total bill (excluding drinks), provided that you order any 2 mains!

For reservations, do visit http://www.chope.co/sg/categories/restaurant/the-royal-mail!

One of our favourite is the black pepper cheese bread served prior to every meal. They are usually served warm, which makes you crave the soft and cheesy bun once you have finished it!


A welcome appetizer is served, which is likely to be different. 


We ordered two starters, Sous-vide Half Maine Lobster ($24) and Pan Seared Foie Gras ($24) as we wanted to try a variety of dishes since this is our very first visit to the restaurant.



As for mains, we ordered Roast Prime Rib - Classic Cut ($58) and Kurobuta Pork Chop ($48).

Tea Lounge (Regent Hotel)

Lobby Level
1 Cuscaden Rd, 249715
Call:: +65 6725 3245 / +65 6725 3246

Opening Hours: 
Afternoon Tea: 12 noon -5:00pm (Mon - Fri)
High Tea Buffet: (Sat – Sun)
12 noon - 2:30pm (First seating); 3.00pm – 5.30pm (Second seating)

=======================================================

Tea Lounge is one of the most popular high tea buffet places in Singapore. 
The high tea buffet is served during weekends only. There are two seatings available, i.e. 12pm to 2.30pm for the first seating and 3pm to 5.30pm for the second seating. 

After hearing so many reviews, I have to give it a try! It cost $58++ per person. 
There are few key highlights that I love:

  • Roast wagyu rump with yorkshire pudding. 
  • Asian Corner (i.e. laksa, satay, yam cake etc)
  • Cakes (especially the rainbow cake with cream cheese!)

And of course, lots of sandwiches, smoked salmon and scones with free flow of coffee and tea. You can select any 2 beverage type, i.e. coffee, tea or hot chocolate. For coffee, it is unlimited servings. However, if you decide to switch to tea midway, you cant order coffee again. 

Will I come back again?

I will definitely be back again! The only downside is that they only have their buffet on weekends only. Ambience is great and its definitely the place to book for an afternoon out with the girls!
