Not every group comes in pairs or even numbers, that's my grouse when it comes to tea. Was pretty please with Rose Veranda at Shangri La. Unlike other tea experience, this is per person at S$68++ which means you could come in groups of odd numbers. Extremely value for money, it comes with the savories, a main (yes you didn't read me wrong) and even free-flow desserts!To get a bigger bang for your bucks, I would suggest having this as lunch instead with your group. Just having a tiny morsel of each item at the desserts buffet is bound to fill you up. I love how this tea session did not shortchange us in any way. The items served at the desserts bar were of quality and good to be served on its own. They were not just "tummy fillers" or food that was just pretty to the eyes.
Like typical Asians, we decided to try different mains on the menu. We tried the Grilled Angus Hanger Steak, Herb Crusted Confit Salmon and Marget Duck Breast. In terms of taste, the steak was the best. But if you are a guy and needs something that can fill you up more, I would suggest the salmon. There was also the vegetarian version - Honey Carmelised Baby Carrots for your vegetarian friends.
If you are a scone-person like me, you will be happy to hear that their scones is probably one of the best I have tasted in Singapore. For the desserts bar, my favorite was the sinful chocolate cake. It was those rare moments which I indulged in a whole slice. Oops.
The Rose Veranda at Shangri La is truly a delightful place. Every inch it is instagrammable. Even my Mum wanted a model shot. LOL! My kids preferred the seat which you could look down and watch the Kois swimming around. This table is near the entrance so it may lack a bit of privacy. It will be available from Friday to Sunday from 12pm to 5pm. If you don't have any lunch plans in your calendar yet, do make a date there. Remember, tea is more than a thing for 2. *Winks*
