My vintage tea cups from The Vintage Tea Loft

You all know that I love love high-tea and tea parties.  This vintage addiction started when I was planning baby Ish's  1st birthday party and I've seen beautiful and gorgeous cups on Pinterest.

How delighted I was when I saw an online shop in FB that sells those pretty cups. I waited long enough for the perfect trio set to be posted for sale. I am very specific with the color and it's intricate design. There are risks involved if your fingers were not that fast to enquire about the item. You lose that 1 gorgeous piece or set, it's already SOLD  and I have to wait again. It happened many times and finally I bought my first trio.

Vintage Tea Party at House, Dempsey Hill

There's always something about cakes, tea/coffee and chatting with girlfriends that brings the happy mood. Yesterday was a fun day for me. I had a date with my bff Ms. T and we went to a Vintage Tea Party at House located in Dempsey Hill. 

Recently I was into vintage tea cups and while browsing the Vintage Tea Loft online store, I saw their post about House and that's where I came to know about the Vintage High Tea Party. I've been wanting to try it out and finally I booked a table for two.  

 

 

The Vintage Tea Party only happens during Thursdays and Fridays from 3-5.30PM. Since it was Thursday and daddy K has to go to work, I have to bring baby Ish with me. I'm a bit worried that I will not totally eat in peace when I'm with my "attention-demanding" toddler but I don't want to pass this chance to catch up with my bfriend.

 

Traditional English Afternoon Tea at The Fullerton Hotel

I met an old friend today. Never seen her for about 2 years now and I'm glad that she came to Singapore. I don't know where to take her because she's been to most of the tourist spots already. I thought to myself this is the prefect time for a "Mommy's Day Off" and another high tea. This time I wanted to try it in Fullerton Hotel.

We got there around 5:30PM and the high tea service was about to end at 6PM. Why did I forgot that "Afternoon Tea" is until 6PM only. I am not really sure if we can max out and utilize the remaining time but I guess we got too excited and still went for it.

We don't want to waste any minute so we ordered our selection of teas. I just noticed that their selection of teas in the menu was fewer compared to other hotels. But because it's quite few, it is easier to choose.They serve TWG teas. We both chose Red Tea. I chose the flavour with again… a hint of vanilla, Vanilla Bourbon. For my friend R, she chose Choco Mint Truffle tea.

Weekend High Tea Buffet at The Regent Hotel

Here comes Valentine's day. Me and hubby agreed that we will go on a "date" the coming weekend. We really don't need to celebrate it because every day for us is Heart's day... lol!  I guess we are just finding a reason to eat out and dine in a fancy restaurant.

I wanted to try eating in a high tea buffet so we decided to give it a go. I searched on Google for the best hotels/cafes offering high tea and we came up with a few nice ones. There are hotels/cafes offering buffets and sets.  On the set menu, the pastry and cakes are refillable but limited to a few variety. Since it is our first time, we might as well splurged and indulged. We opt for the buffet and we chose to dine at The Regent Hotel.

Tea Lounge at The Regent Hotel

We called for reservation to make sure that we don't need to wait in case many people showed up that day. The high tea is only on Saturday and Sunday. They have two sittings, 12noon-2.30PM (First seating) and 3PM-5.30PM (Second seating).

We came early for the second seating so we just roam around the hotel and let baby Ish play around. Then it's time to eat! Yey! We were not disappointed. Wow! It's as good as eating lunch or dinner already with the big spread in the buffet. From savoury snacks to cheeses, from different cakes to local food like satay and so much more. We enjoyed every bit of it. Click here for the complete menu.
