Another dreary rainy day on the Little Red Dot was decidedly brightened by my recent visit to the Fullerton Hotel for their special Pink Afternoon Tea in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Fullerton always enchants my senses from the moment I ascend the entrance stairs wonderful aromas abound and the high atrium lobby provides a sense of grandeur and majestic grace.
Proceeding to The Courtyard located at the lobby level, beautiful melodies from the harpist create a classy and sophisticated atmosphere.
With prompt and polite service we are seated at our spacious table for the afternoon tea which commences with a specially curated pink cocktail – called the Iron Rose it comprises Mirabeau Dry Rose Gin from France with Litchi Liqueur, Rose Liqueur and Mediterranean Tonic and is offered complimentary (normally $22++) for the month of October. A light and refreshing tipple to accompany the treats to follow.
A comprehensive tea and coffee menu offers twenty delightful flavours including exotic Bacha coffees such as Royal Pistachio, Orange Sky and 1910 (described as wild strawberries served with heavy cream) and the ever popular TWG Teas including Royal Orchid, Red Jasmine and Midnight Hour. Indeed something for even the most discerning palates.
A stunning three tiered cake stand arrives laden with classic English sweet and savoury treats, all tinted various shades of pink in support of Breast Cancer ($5 nett of the $51++ adult priced high tea set is also donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation).
The first two layers are the savouries with some of my favourites being the Smoked Duck, Mango, Raspberry and Walnut and the Chives Egg Truffle with Beetroot Mayonnaise. The Tiger Prawn, Stones Fruits Salsa Espelette with Mango Passionfruit Sauce was also a highlight.
A side serving of homely fresh baked scones accompanied by classic clotted cream and jam provides a perfect interlude before the impressive dessert tier.
Six beautifully handcrafted desserts adorn the top tier of the tea set and it is certainly hard to choose a favourite. From the Ice Gem Lemon Meringue Tart to the Berry Bean Curd Trifle, they are all a delight to behold and indulge in.
This is a wonderfully classic high tea experience and is well worth heading down with a few girlfriends or for a special mummy daughter date – a special treat that also supports a very good cause.
In a show of support for efforts to raise breast cancer awareness, the façade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore will also be lit up in pink daily from 3 to 31 October 2022, from 7.00 p.m. onwards.
