A quiet lunch in the busy city during weekdays....TWG @ Raffles Place is the place to go to.
A busy week, feel like rewarding myself with nice lunch...I have always bypass this TWG to buy macarons but this is really first time stepping onto the stairs to 2nd floor...
Cleverly perched on a "suspended" stand alone area within Republic Plaza, you have to walk up a short flight of stairs from the first floor which I enjoyed the short tour by admiring their Tea accessories and patestries sales area. Then the French music leaded me to the dining area which it amidst the soft incessant buzz of the place, feel so relax already... cosy warmth with its intimate dining area, huge glass windows with translucent curtains coupled with a glass ceiling.
And further more, on the Tea and food menu, you will know why I am kick....
Those tartan chairs are so comfy, perfectly chill the non-stop busy morning. Just lay back and enjoy my tea...Here is my order, Silver Moon Ice Tea. Instead of a hot tea, I've chosen this ice tea to cool off the hot day. A TWG blend of green tea is accented with a grand berry and vanilla bouquet, with just a hint of spice. They call it 'The tea for that special moment'. This is it! Make me drooling, even till now! ooops....it is really something....
My Main course was Smoked duck served with tomato and cucumber salad....hmmm....this was just ok but it's just nice for me to save more room for the rest!
Crisp shortbread topped with fresh red berries and a silver moon tea infused cream, served with a rich apricot coulis....Oh my oh my....The layers of flavors, it's so perfectly blend together yet the little twist from the tea infused cream, it's so unforgettable. The taste of joy!!! I am so lucky to be alive!
It's not the end yet, I took away 3 macarons (Rose, Lemon & Chocolate, my all time favor) and you know what? This is still not the end?! They actually ended my meal with 2 lovely truffles (Complimentary!)... Yes, that's the way, I feel so welcome with their kind hospitality and lovely sweet goodies, what else can bid 2 gorgeous truffles!
I was so wrong that this is just another swanky place but I am kick and will come back very very soon.
THE TEA!!!! Forget about all latte, cappuccino, red/ white wine when you are here...All you need is their tea, I won't say it's the best in the world but you can taste the love from the blend. They are unique!
