TWG Tea

Went with Yvonne to TWG for tea after having curry chicken noodles for lunch.



She ordered the tea flower series.




While I ordered the Choco Mint Truffle Tea (it's quite good)!

My Ramblings...



I love their teas! As for the cakes, somehow I still prefer the Singapore Surprise.

On my latest visit, noted that they have changed their staff to local. Still remembered my first few visits where almost half of their staff are caucasians.. Maybe that was during the initial stage of helping TWG to establish their store in Singapore. I am impressed with their knowledge of tea . They can custom made teas to suit one's preference.

Have not attempted to ask any of the local staff yet. Will do one of these days to see how is their proficiency on tea is...

This is a good place for catch-up with friends whilst feeling like a tai-tai.

Dinner @ TWG Tea

The quality of the pictures deterioated as I have lent my brother the camera for his Aus trip. Well, my phone is only a 3.2 mega pixel.... I miss my camera....

This is the setting of the table...

Ordered the Sandwiches set. They have their top favourites - crab sandwich, prawn sandwich, foie gras sandwich and salmon sandwich. I loved the prawns one though. The foie gras sandwich is a bit too rich and creamy...


The dessert that I ordered. A bit disappointing for me. The last cake that I had was too good for comparison. I had the Singapore surprise - looks simple but is sooooo goood.


Chocolate cake...

My Ramblings..

The other time I complained about their inflexibility. This time round, I am impressed. We ordered slightly past the order and they were happy to take our order and waited for us to finish till 9pm.

They even bothered to introduce their products for us. Wow...

Somehow I loved this place - esp their tea since they have so many varieties and I can try to my heart's content. Ordered the Royal Orchid Tea today. Quite a good one I must say.

For the dessert, I loved their Singapore Surprise - the cake in my last entry on TWG Tea.

Ambience is good. Definitely a place for destressing...

Okie... Time to sleep liao.. I am going to Malaysia tomorrow...

More food to be posted.....

Lunch at TWG Tea

Met up with ex-collegue for lunch last week and we went to TWG Tea at Republic Plaza. Both of us ordered their set meal of the week. The set menu comprises of a main dish, tea and dessert.

Main dish.. Something like sashimi with chopped onions with bread. A bit too light for my lunch though but understand from the waiter that their main dish changes every week.

Tea (similar to green tea. just a different variant)

Dessert (I do not remember what is it made of. All I know is that this tastes heavenly. The top crust is crispy and sweet and the cream is not too sweet yet rich. The crust at the bottom just ends it perfectly)

My Ramblings...

This is like one of the rare times where I will recommend this place even though I am upset with their service. Their waiters fall into two categories - one that know their stuff very well whereas the other just serve a customer because this is their job.

I was served by a waiter from the second group. I was quite cheezed off because:
1. He refused to let me change my tea,
2. "Blamed" me for not telling him earlier
3. When he FINALLY allowed me to change my tea, he charged me the full price of the new tea. I was like you might as well tell me I can't change -_-

Well, the dessert made me changed my perception of this place. And, when I went to their gift shop, I was very impressed by the tea knowledge that one of the waiter knows. He was the one who brewed the tea and knows every single tea in the place (Some background - the whole exterior of this place is nothing but different type of tea from different places. There is even tea on a year basis type).

Final conclusion - Choose the right guy!
