Kunthaville, the newest addition to Singapore's lively dining scene, offers the city-state's first-ever Ceylonese Afternoon Tea. Launched on March 8, 2024, in accordance with International Women's Day, this new concept highlights underrepresented Ceylonese cuisine by enabling patrons to partake in a refined ritual inspired by the 19th-century tradition of Afternoon Tea.
Ms. Kuntha Chelvanathan, Founder and Chef-Owner of Kunthaville, cleverly built the Tea Room herself, which has custom-made rattan and teak furniture that exudes subtle beauty. The initial offering, "An Afternoon of Paris Rose," which costs $78.80 for two, promises an amazing experience highlighting the eternal charm of roses, one of the world's oldest flowers.
This one-of-a-kind culinary experience is available everyday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. and requires a one-day advance reservation. The Paris Rose Afternoon Tea features small cupcakes flavoured with Kunthaville's signature Paris Rose and Midnight Vanilla teas, as well as traditional Ceylonese treats including beetroot cutlets, Jackfruit balls, vegan mutton rolls, Dutch Gundappams, and chilli cheese toast. Guests can also enjoy the beautiful Rose jelly for an English touch while drinking on the renowned Kunthaville Paris Rose tea mix, which is a harmonious fusion of luscious golden tips, black tea, and natural rose petals.
For those interested in learning more about Ceylonese tea culture, Kunthaville provides the "Flavours of Kunthaville Tea Tasting Experience," which is hosted by Ms. Kuntha Chelvanathan herself. Starting March 24, 2024, this fortnightly event from 3 to 4 p.m. provides attendees a free-flow tea tasting of six types for an hour for $25 per person.
Kunthaville celebrates Ceylon tea, which is known for its high quality, distinct flavour, and authenticity around the world. Ceylon's lush hill country estates not only offer stunning beauty and sustainable farming practices, but they also create teas with distinct and intriguing flavours. Kunthaville offers a variety of white, green, and black tea blends, each with its own unique qualities and health advantages.
The Kunthaville White Teas, which include Silver Tips, Golden Tips, Paris Rose, Moroccan Mint, Midnight Vanilla, and Snow-White Jasmine, guarantee a sensory experience unlike any other. From the delicate purity of Silver Tips to the rich infusion of rose petals and actual strawberry essence in Paris Rose, each tea provides a lovely combination of flavours and fragrances.
Beyond the culinary delights, Kunthaville enables guests to discover the rich heritage of Ceylonese culture within its century-old colonial-style shophouse in the famous Little India district. The restaurant honours Ceylon's many ethnic influences and culinary traditions, providing a multi-concept living and dining destination that highlights regional flavours, methods, and ingredients.
Kunthaville, with its focus to plant-based Ceylonese cuisine and a holistic approach to wellness, appeals to a wide range of foodies, history aficionados, and wellness seekers. Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind gastronomic adventure or a relaxing retreat, Kunthaville guarantees an extraordinary experience that goes beyond the usual.
