At St. Regis
Singapore
Nestled within St. Regis Singapore, The Tea Room invites you to a refined, luxurious afternoon tea experience. Inspired by the lush tranquillity of the Botanic Gardens, the venue offers a teatime rooted in heritage and indulgence, exuding classic sophistication.
The ritual of afternoon tea at St. Regis traces back to 19th-century New York, where Caroline Astor, the matriarch of the Astor family, hosted elegant teas that became the hallmark of St. Regis society. Today, that tradition is carried forward around the world, with each St. Regis property offering its unique interpretation.
At St. Regis Singapore, the legacy takes a fresh turn with the Summer Garden Afternoon Tea, a tribute to the city’s tropical charm. Guests are welcomed with a refreshing tea-based aperitif and a choice between barista-brewed coffee or loose-leaf tea, expertly selected by the in-house tea sommelier.
The experience begins on a delicate note with five types of savouries served in a wooden box and presented atop a chilled glass case.
The savouries arrive first, presented in a custom-crafted wooden box perched on a chilled glass base. Inside, five intricate canapés await, each a miniature work of art. One highlight is the Prawn Mousse, Beetroot Cone, and Avruga topped with Caviar, a refreshing, umami-rich bite that is visually stunning.
Once the savouries are savoured, the spotlight shifts to the sweet tier. Here, the pastries take centre stage, beautifully presented on a classic three-tiered stand. The Tropical Garden Tartlet sings with creamy vanilla notes and bursts of fruit. The Almond Sablé offers a textural contrast, crisp yet delicate.
The most enchanting part of the experience comes next. The tea sommelier arrives with a trolley of carefully curated blends by Taylors of Harrogate, inviting guests to choose their tea not by sight or label, but by scent. Lift each glass dome, breathe in the aromas, and follow your senses.
If one finds the oppressive Singapore heat too much to bear, a glass of Copenhagen Sparkling Tea might be the cure.
Just when the senses feel entirely satisfied, the scones make their entrance. Served warm and golden, the Classic St. Regis Scone and a zesty Lemon Scone are paired with clotted cream, artisanal butter, and a trio of jams. A touch of mango pearls adds a playful modern twist. Fluffy and just the right amount of crumbly, they make for a perfect final bite.
Take the Experience Home
Not ready to say goodbye? The experience doesn’t have to end at the table. Just outside The Tea Room lies The Patisserie, where guests can bring a piece home in a box of handcrafted pralines or a freshly baked tart.
Be spoilt for choice with an extension offering of pastries and bakes at The Patisserie, located just outside of The Tea Room.
The Tea Room at St. Regis is more than just an elegant escape; it is a homage to timeless tradition, reinterpreted with thoughtful modernity. Whether you are catching up with a friend, celebrating a special occasion, or simply seeking a moment of calm, this is where time slows, and indulgence takes centre stage.
