Visited on 7 Dec 2014 (Sun). Celebrity chef Justin Quek has brought his culinary touch to a brand-new high tea concept that celebrates a mix of signature savoury and sweet tastes at the award-winning Sky on 57 restaurant.
Sky High Tea is available daily from 2:30pm to 5pm and is priced at S$78++ for two persons. (Total bill = $91.26)
For a more luxurious treat, pair the high tea with a glass of Taittinger Champagne priced at S$138++ for two persons.
Note: Free flow of Coffee and Tea, Food items are non-refillable.
This small area is for the afternoon tea...
The tea selection from Newby London!
The high tea experience starts with Chef Justin’s signature Foie Gras Xiao Long Bao and frothy demitasse of Fresh Mushroom Cappuccino! Omg this is the BEST xiaolongbao I've ever had! Skin was smooth and the foie gras enhanced the overall taste... They were served piping hot - Look at the broth inside in the photo below.. The mushroom cappuccino was thick and flavourful too!
Delicious broth oozing from the opening... mouthwatering...
The remaining items were served in a 3-tier stand.
There were an assortment of savoury and sweet items. First tier was fried oyster tempura with seaweed flakes, and Milo ice-cream. The oyster tempura was crispy outside with tender oyster inside, very delicious! The milo ice-cream melted fast so remember to have this first!
Next was creme brulee, buttercake, baguette and salmon roll - All were very average taste..
Last tier worth to mention is the Ivory White Truffle Chocolate (Sweet with a touch of truffle) and Gula Java Macarons (Tasted like gula melaka, has a very amazing fragrance but not too sweet. Thumbs up for this!)
As it was my birthday, they presented us with two extra macarons instead of a small cake... Well, it's the thought that counts.. Actually I was addicted to their gula java macarons, so I'm delighted to receive this small surprise! :-)
Overall the 3-tier items were mostly unremarkable and tasted very average, was expecting a better quality afternoon tea from Sky on 57... Only the starter, fried oyster tempura and the macarons were really good. Service was average as the staff were quite busy to juggle between guests who were still having lunch and guests having afternoon tea.. Hope they can improve the service for guests who were here for the high tea as well as the quality of the high tea items.
