Stylish High Tea at The Woobar (21 Ocean Way, Level 2, W Hotel Singapore-Sentosa Cove) Reservation: 6808 7258

Visited on 6th Nov 2013 (Wed). The glamorous high-tea set served on a decorative bird cage with an exquisite selection of Unlimited Dilmah's finest tea and Unlimited Coffee!

Note: They have very nice Cappucino, Latte and Mocha! The high-tea set items are non-refillable.

Time: 3 - 5pm daily

Price: $58++ for 2 persons/per cage from Mon-Fri = Total bill of $68.26

Price: $68++ for 2 persons/per cage on Sat & Sun = Total bill of $80

Why there is a price difference of $10 between weekdays and weekends? Basically, the high tea items are exactly the same on weekdays and weekends. Just that it's more crowded on weekends, hence the price is higher. I would suggest you take 1 or half a day leave there since weekday is cheaper and lesser people. 

They're very generous in beverage as they give quite big cup of Cappucino/Latte/Mocha even though it's unlimited serving. You're allowed to change your drink anytime from Tea to Coffee Or vice versa during the 2 hours too.

Service was impeccable! All the waitress here were always with a smile, they will ask for your name and talk to you like a friend, very warm hospitality! They will also come to check regularly if we need more drinks when they saw our cup almost empty. Ok let's look at the photos of this beautiful place - Lovely!

Pool view from the window!

This is where they get the bird cage from for our high tea! Hehe..

Quite limited tea selection. Hope they will have wider choice of tea to choose from.

As coffee will cause throat to get dry, they provide ice water with lime to serve together with the coffee! This should be the way to serve coffee, well done!

New High Tea items

Note: The food items below were from the previous menu - Just for your reference!

Savoury Items

From left-right: Rich Baked Gruyere Tart Thyme Tomato Jelly + Smoked Salmon Profiteroles Cream Faiche and Chives + Foie Gras Ganache Tart Pot Wine, Gold Leaf (With Alcohol) I get a bit dizzy after taking this... Haha.. + Grey Shrimp Brioche Classic Cocktail

These items were very rare in normal high tea set. So it's really a very good experience to try all these unqiue high tea items different from other places.

Here comes the Bird Cage High Tea Set!

I love their unique way of serving the High-Tea set! Silver bird cage hanging on a Silver Tree!

The bottom set consist of: (Clockwise direction) 

Chocolate & Coconut Sponge Fresh Cream + Baked Custard Tart Cinnamon Dust + Passion fruit Meringue Clotted Cream & Mango + Vanilla Cream Slice Crisp Pastry + Metallic W LCM's (Rice Cake) 

My Most Fav: Chocolate & Coconut Sponge and Baked Custard Tart (WOW!)
All were nice except the rice cake.. Hope they can remove this rice cake and replace with chocolate cake as chocolate cake was everyone's favourite!

Cranberry & Chocolate Scones with Passion Fruit Curd and Clotted Cream (The scones were quite disappointing, too buttery taste and the chocolate scones a bit rubbery)

Love the way they put the macaroons in a round glass!

Overall, this place is worth a visit. The interior of this hotel is very Chic & Stylish! The ambience at Woobar is comfy and cosy. Food items are special and Service was excellent! Definitely a good place to chill out and relax. The only minus point is the aircon was a bit not cold. But we will be back again for sure!

This will be the Woobar at night time! So nice right? Love their custom made swinging chairs & the purple lightings! You'll hear DJs' beats from the bar too..

 Beautiful seatings outside the Woobar

 Grand staircase at the hotel lobby!

Weekend Dim Sum Brunch Buffet at Hai Tien Lo (Pan Pacific Hotel, Level 3) Reservation: 6826 8240

It's such a hassle to make reservation through phone - Book now through Chope for Instant Reservations!

Visited on 26th Oct 2013 (Sat).  (Only Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays)

Time: 11.30am - 2.30pm (3 hours long)

Price: $68++ per person = Total bill of $160 for 2 pax (Excluding drinks) 

Price of Tea in a teapot: Between $6++ to $12++ per person (Free Flow)

Hai Tien Lo used to be on the 37th floor with panoramic view but it has now moved to the 3rd floor without any view after the whole hotel renovated. Of course we still preferred the old Hai Tien Lo on top floor with stunning view.. Despite all these, the ambience at the new Hai Tien Lo is also quite nice and relaxing. What i like about Hai Tien Lo is you can slowly take your time to enjoy the buffet from 11.30am to 2.30pm (3 hours long) totally no rush unlike many other ala carte buffet restaurants with 2 seating time arrangements. Of course the price difference between them are big too. So it really depends what is your preference. 

The service level here was quite high and personal. They will assign about 2 servers at each designated area to ensure you can always find the server behind you or around you all the time until about 2+pm when the buffet was about to end. Our tea always get refilled promptly too.

The only 2 unacceptable misses on that day: 

1) We ordered Deep Fried Yam Paste from the menu but Fried Prawn Dumplings were served to us instead, so we checked with the server and realised the yam paste was not available but we were not informed at all. 

2) We ordered the fruits before we left. Guessed how long we waited? Can you imagine we waited for around 30mins just for the fruits... I asked the server to check a few times but not sure what happened to their kitchen, nobody at the kitchen to cut the fruits?? It's a pity they made these 2 mistakes, otherwise they will have the BEST service! 

Unique entrance with 2 statue bodyguard!

Spacious & Grand Waiting area....

香片

Double-boiled Buddha Jump over the Wall with Deer Tendon and Cordycep Flower

*1 Time Serving*  Finally i tried Buddha Jump Over The Wall! The broth was nice with abalone and other good ingredients. But i'd still prefer Sharksfin or Fish Maw that type of starchy soup.. :P

Braised Whole Abalone with Bean Curd in Superior Oyster Sauce

*1 Time Serving* The abalone and beancurd was tender but the oyster sauce was very normal, hope they can improve on the sauce used.

Steamed Pomfret in Chef’s Special Spicy Sauce

*1 Time Serving* My first time eating pomfret with spicy sauce on it.. The taste of the sauce is quite spicy + a little bit sweet. I like the sauce very much, very special!

Quick Fried Hokkaido Scallops with Seasonal Vegetables

*1 Time Serving*  I really love their scallops, the taste was so yummy and they're so QQ! Like those crispy stuff too!

Deep-fried Fillet of Sea Perch with Salt and Pepper

This was very very nice, like the salt & pepper on it and the fillet was so crispy & tender!

Marinated Soya Chicken + 

Barbecued Honey-glazed Pork with Almond Flakes

Both meat were tender and i like the almond flakes on it!

Steamed Shrimp Dumplings

The prawns were very fresh. Nice!

Steamed Pork Dumplings

The siew mai was ok. So far most of the siew mai i've tasted still cannot make me "Wow".. Haha

Deep-fried Bean Curd Sheet stuffed with Prawn Paste

I love the appearance of their fried bean curd, it's very presentable!  The prawns inside were very fresh and the skin of the fried bean curd was very crispy too. Overall the taste was so so so good except it's a bit too salty!

Crispy Prawn Dumpling

This was average...

Poached Fresh Prawns

 The prawns were fresh with natural sweetness

Deep-fried Prawns coated with Oat Flakes

This was my favourite dish! The oat flakes were fantastic! Yummy!!

Double-boiled Chicken Soup with White Fungus and Chinese Mushrooms

The soup was a bit salty + a bit sour. Not to my liking...

Fruit Jelly Pudding and Western Cake Dessert: 

Cheesecake + Chocolate + Matcha

I love their Chocolate and Matcha cake, light and nice!

Hot Cheng Tng

Nothing special... As the price of this buffet is quite high, we would expect at least a Pomelo Mango Sago rather than the Cheng Tng we can find anywhere at hawker centre.

Ok thats all we can consume into our stomach that day. Hope i can try more of their food the next time.  Overall it's still worth a visit to this restaurant despite the 2 misses which i mentioned above.
