Where to go for High/afternoon tea in Singapore?

My boyfriend has decided he would like to go for high tea somewhere while we are in Singapore.

Obviously Raffles is the well known option, but have heard very mixed reviews.

Just wondered if anyone had been for tea at Raffles or anywhere else that is a nice option.

We arent around on a sunday so we not after a brunch option...

Thanks for your help!

Where to go for High/afternoon tea in Singapore?

We had high tea (tiffin) when staying at Raffles 6 weeks ago. IMO it is a little over rated and overpriced. But saying that we got it in with the room and I am please we went. If you want tiffin you must book in advance as it gets full. ian480.

another possible place is Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scotts.

you can have lunch and dinner there as well. it is served buffet style.

Thanks for that great list of options.

I%26#39;m still tempted by Raffles, but Dim Sum at Yum CHa sounds reaaly good to.. So much to eat, so little time!

Hope I%26#39;m not too late to steer you way clear of the Raffles.

First, I would recommend the Singapore Grand Hyatt.

The High Tea at the Raffles Tiffin Room is a complete tourist trap and ripoff. The hotel is banking on its fame and busloads of organized tourists moving through the turnstiles and willing to pay absurd prices. Proper tea service should be elegant, not mass produced. Proper tea should sit and serve individual tables, not gather a herd outside in the heat and the then shuttle in the entire room and then serve the entire room tiered food all at one time.

Proper tea should offer a selection of tea choices and prepare it by the cup, not serve a generic cheap tea brewed by the pot in massive bags.

Proper tea should use a strainer, not large paper tea bags.

Proper tea sweets and savories should be delicate and refined, not the equivalent of mass produced packaged foods.

I%26#39;ve experienced high teas in England, Manhattan, the Oriental in Bangkok and the Peninsula in Bangkok. The Raffles isn%26#39;t worth 15 SGD, much less 45 SGD. The high tea served at the Singapore Hyatt looked much more refined and elegant and was much less expensive.

Take a picture of the Raffles and spend your money else ware.

I agree, don%26#39;t bother with High Tea at Raffles in The Tiffin Room! Very overpriced and the food wasn%26#39;t that great either. Walk around the hotel and take the photos for free but spend your money elsewhere! I was very dissapointed as we love High Tea!
