Afternoon Tea at The Lobby Lounge (Singapore Marriott Hotel - 320 Orchard Road Singapore 238865) Reservation: 6831 4605

Visited on 11 Oct 2014 (Sat). Traditional English High Tea Set at only $28++ per person! (Updated New Price: $30++ per person)

The food items are continuously replenished for your full enjoyment + coffee & tea selection are unlimited as well - You can switch from coffee to tea or vice versa whenever you like + High tea for 3 hours long

Sounds so great isn't it? If you're looking for hotel ambience and just want a cheaper decent high tea, this is the place for you! I think this is probably the "cheapest refillable high tea set" among Singapore hotels!

Available daily at The Lobby Lounge from 2-5pm! (Served by the staff from Java+)


Located in the lobby of the hotel and adjacent to Marriott Cafe, the lobby lounge boasts an open layout with natural lighting, textured stone floors, and wooden panels. By night, it transforms into an ideal spot to unwind over red wine and martinis with the melodies by the pianist.



I love their maroon colour carpet, makes the whole lobby lounge more attractive despite the simple settings of the hotel.. This will be the venue for afternoon tea!



You can have the afternoon tea at this hidden area too if you prefer more privacy..




Java+ is a premium retail deli outlet that offers a selection of premium cheese and charcuterie, pickles and dips, alongside delectable homemade cakes, freshly-baked breads, sandwiches, salads and quiches. You can order additional cakes from here if you're still not full. Prices are on the tag.




Between 7.30pm – 9.00pm daily - Two Premium Dessert Jars at only $15 Nett!




Tea selection from Lupicia
A premium Japanese Tea brand. Most hotels served TWG or Gryphon Tea so i'm delighted to try another brand of tea selection at Marriott! :)



Coffee selection from Italian Coffee - illy!








A Pot of Strawberry & Vanilla Tea + Caffe Latte
Strawberry & Vanilla Tea is a Japanese green tea lightly scented with strawberry & vanilla, then blended with matcha. This tea was light and elegant with 1 sugar cube added.. I enjoyed the strawberry with vanilla scent, very aromatic! Must-Order! My partner enjoyed the thick caffe latte from illy as well!



And Here Comes the 3-Tier Afternoon Tea Set
Note: Food items are subject to change so you might not get the same items as mine...





Bottom tray: Assortment of finger sandwiches, mushroom pie, quiche & sausage pie..





Middle tray: Macarons, cakes and some tarts...






Top tray: Raisin Scones and Madeleines

I like their scones as it was served warm, crisp and with light buttery taste!
Their madeleines has a very very crispy exterior with soft buttery cake inside - surprisingly very good!


The clotted cream provided was very fresh and nice - Dip more clotted cream onto the scones!



Prior to my visit to this place, i was expecting low quality food and beverages. But to my surprise, the quality of both food & beverages were not that bad for this very affordable price of $28++ per person with refillable food & beverages. 

We were mostly served by this guy "Benedict". I must say he's the only staff that has done a very good job! He will approach every table to check if we need to replenish any food once he noticed we have finished the food at 1 of the tier. Most of the time, he's the only staff to handle all the tables and he still put on a very warm smile to serve every table. This made us had a very delightful afternoon tea time! Kudos to Benedict!
