High Tea

2nd time there, they've shifted to the gentral mall. The lady just said cannot use burrple but didn't offer any explanation. Service was still weird as before. Well maybe the lack of it.

Food was okay lor. Like ok can.

The food was good, but service was ..... really really bad.. would have been better if they made it self service with a buzzer, people may be less upset! The waitress just couldn't bother about any of the customers and when we asked for chilli she neither acknowledged or said a word and walked off. Thinking she went to get it, 5 mins later, nope.. I served myself from the counter after getting irritated of being ignored even when I hit the bell.. okay, no service charge, I'd suck it up..

We had a total of 5 dishes across the menu.. the uni with caviar, the prawns, steak, iberico and risotto.. food was ok.. but not amazing for its price line. If anything I guess the iberico was off the mark, it lacked the tenderness of a tenderloin, no pun intended, and just felt mushy at some point.. is that even possible ? A little like pulled pork that hasn't been pulled.. I was expecting more from charcoal grilled food. And having tried bincho at tiong bahru it did certainly upped my expectations. But sadly, meh.. not sure if its the anticipation coupled with expectations. Service was really good tho, loved the vibe of the place too

An underwhelming and expensive high tea that left us unsatisfied and a possibility of losing a limb or two. The desserts not shown in the picture was way too sweet we barely could finish any individual pieces of it.. It also didnt taste sophisticated or had depth in the flavours. It was just flat sweet...
The savory items were decent at best, but didnt wow us. Portions were extremely small as shown in picture and sadly not very yummy..The puff pastry felt like it was just some frozen puffs you got from the supermarket.

The best part of the tea has got to be the self service chocolates. Lol the nut clusters were good and that's kind of about it.

Ambience was good, service was normal. You would be happier off at Morton's next door...

The special chirashi bowl was overflowing with goodness and yummies! Not a fancy place like mikuni next door, but a good fix for sushi and sashimi (:

Tea set was pricy, hit and misses. The yellow rice with haebee was good. The gula melaka sago dessert was hmmm... overall I wouldn't say it's worth the price. Ambience was really good though ...
