Renku Bar & Lounge, located in the bustling hub of Marina Bay Sands' hotel lobby, has given the time honored custom of afternoon tea a pleasant twist. Their daily afternoon tea programme, which is accessible from 2 pm to 5 pm and was just revived, offers a delightful experience for customers. The celebration unfolds with a roving tea trolley service supplied table-side, delivering a visual feast alongside scrumptious sweets, led by Marina Bay Sands' executive pastry chef, Hoi Kuok I.
A Classic Affair at the Queen's Table
The afternoon tea "At the Queen's Table" (S$65++) transports you to a bygone period. This menu pays respect to the Victorian tradition of afternoon tea, combining traditional favourites with a modern twist. Consider a golden birdcage on your table, packed with freshly baked scones and a selection of sandwiches and chocolates. Magret duck rillette with foie gras and hazelnut champagne agar on a French baguette, home-cured Scottish king salmon in a delicate crêpe, and the superb raspberry pistachio Battenberg covered in marzipan, completed by delectable lemon Italian meringue almond sable, are among the highlights.
Garden Rhapsody: Floral Delights
For those looking for something a little more fanciful, the "Garden Rhapsody" afternoon tea (S$72++) entices with a menu infused with the season's freshest blooms. Enjoy Nova Scotia crab tartare on a sweet baguette, Tasmanian black truffle, and a sakura egg on top of a crisp croffle. The voyage continues with delicate desserts like a rose petal charlotte with sake-macerated peach and an orange blossom-infused Victoria cake with strawberry marmalade.
The Roving Tea Trolley: A Symphony of Tea Blends
Guests are treated to a tea master's expertise during this lovely afternoon tea experience. The wandering tea trolley approaches your table, offering recommendations from a collection of 14 distinct tea blends. Discover Marina Bay Sands' signature "Marina Pearls," a light and effortless blend of jasmine pearls, lily blossom, juniper berries, bergamot, and lychee. Tea connoisseurs who dare can try the interesting "Durian Lapis," a unique blend of black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and freeze-dried durian.
This afternoon tea is a trip through time and taste as you sip and savour while surrounded by the sumptuous ambiance of Renku Bar & Lounge.
