Champagne Afternoon Tea at Colony, The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore
February 20, 2016
After months of renovation, the popular buffet restaurant Greenhouse at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore has re-opened with a new concept called “Colony”. Drawing inspirations from the rich heritage of Singapore’s colonial history, vintage maps and postcards adorn the walls to evoke the feeling of nostalgia.
We had a chance to try their afternoon tea with some local twist, in line with the restaurant’s concept. We were first served with a plate of soft and fluffy savoury pancake, topped with eggs, sour cream and a luxurious scoop of French caviar.
And there was a plate of plain scones and raisins version, baked in house. Served with kaya, clotted cream and lemon curd, the scones are best paired with their signature Colony Tea, a custom blend of black and white Sumatran tea leaves from Tea Bone Zen Mind. The most unique part of this afternoon is, you can add flavored syrup such as French Rose, Ginger, Lavender, Palm and Cinnamon, Pandan and Pineapple to enhance the tea. So therapeutic! The second deck and third deck feature an assortment of sandwiches and sweet pastries.
Colony’s Champagne Afternoon Tea will be served from Mondays to Saturdays with a traditional British-styled three-tier set that comes with a glass of Louis Roederer NV Brut (priced at $49).
