Vintage High Tea @ House, Dempsey

It was our customary wedding anniversary and we both had taken leave. Hub suggested going for a nice lunch or high tea. I would prefer high tea as we normally do not have the time or chance to go for one. We looked around a few high tea places and I was hoping to try Antidote out. Unfortunately, I thought it was a little expensive. With my condition now, I cannot eat too much. It gives me bad bad heartburn. Hence I think its not worth the money to visit Antidote. Maybe next time.

We shortlisted Lime at Parkroyal and Goodwood Park. In the end, last minute, I remembered there is high tea at Dempsey and did a google. How lucky we are! House has a vintage high tea and we though the price is ok at $30++/pax, Moreover, it was a Thursday! Their high tea is available on Thurs and Friday. Luck is on our side!

House has a relatively huge sitting area. We were ushered to our seats and I am very grateful to the lady who showed us to our seats. Seeing my pregnant tummy, she took a cushion from another couch for my seat so that I can sit comfortably. I was really impressed with the lady for being observant and being caring to her customers. Thank you for that! :)

Choices of tea available.... I love tea! Every since I got pregnant, I hardly drink tea. If I did, its mostly non-caffeine like cammomile which I don't really enjoy. But since I had been good and abstained from black, red and green tea all these while, I figured, it wouldn't harm if I had tea today. :P I chose the peppermint tea.

The pastries buffet looked really good too. It was so prettily laid out that when the buffet line started, many people were snapping pictures away. So did I. :P

The selection was yummy and I really enjoyed. If there is a chance, I hope to come back again for high tea.

Besides tea, they served limited lemonade drink with Basil. It was yummy and when they had it refilled, people were Q-ing for it.

This was a special lamb dish they served to each table. I don't take lamb so I skipped this and hub did try a little only cos by then he was too full to take in anymore. Ha!

Tea Lounge @ Regent Hotel

Regent Hotel holds a very special place in my heart. That was where my wedding was held in 2009. I love how its located in town but yet not at the busy part of town. Another reason why we chose Regent Hotel then was the good review on its food, the good service from the coordinator and the themes they have for wedding.

That aside, we have heard raves of its high tea set too but never had the chance to try it. Hub made a reservation for us to visit its tea lounge for high tea at 12.30pm for my birthday lunch. I thought that was weird. Don't most high teas start from 2pm or 3pm? Anyway, its fine... that timing was ok for us.

The tea lounge is located on its ground floor just next to the ballroom.

It was quiet when we arrived. In fact, we were the first to arrive for its high tea.

We were ushered to a seat and presented with a tea box. This tea box has little samples of different tea leaves. We were allowed to choose either coffee or tea and each set allows 2 changes of drinks.

The high tea set serves a balance of pastries and cake. Unfortunately, I'm more of a cake person than pastries. But nevertheless, the items were really tasty!

The high tea set per pax on a weekday was about S$50++.
