Happy Lunar New Year to those who are celebrating!!!

Here's another new and glamorous place for afternoon tea.... High Society at Marina Bay Sands. We really love the interior and that's the reason why we checked it out.


The bain marie is conveniently located at the entrance of the restaurant for you to try resist the temptation.


After being lured by the deliciously looking desserts, we finally took our seat and ordered the afternoon tea set.


The afternoon tea set comes with:


bacon, ham and cheese with foccacia (whatever that is) and egg mayo sandwich with a touch of truffle.


bacon quiche lorraine (super fantastic!) and seasonal lobster on toast.

And the last tray comes with chef's choice of assorted French pastries. This depends on your luck what you will get for the day. Here's ours:


Berry tart, moist dark chocolate cake, lemon cake, green tea macaron, toffee macaron and I can't tell what is the last piece.



What I love about their tea set is that it comes with 2 choices of tea, with your own pot each. Just in case your friend has a different taste in tea as you, you can have your own pot. And there's enough savory and not too many sweet selections, so you won't feel guilty of overeating sugar.



However, the macaron is just ok. I thought it would melt in your mouth and send me directly to heaven. Nope, it didn't. There are other shops that sell better macarons. But overall, their artisan desserts are worth trying.



The ambiance is also a great place to hangout. I actually feel like I was back in the 1920s as I stepped inside. Love the deco!




Their name is quite misleading as to their price. I would expect a sky rocket high bill but surprisingly, our afternoon tea set only cost somewhere around SGD25.




Great place! We will be back to try their other desserts, especially those tempting us on the bain marie.

This time of the year, the Chinese will make tang yuen to celebrate the coming of winter. It is a soup type dessert, served hot and the main ingredient is made of glutinous rice balls.

Chinese myth believes that if you don't eat tang yuen, you won't be able to grow one year older.

Have you had your tang yuen yet?
First of all, sorry if the photos don't turn out nicely. It was an impromptu outing. I thought I was just going to have a cup of tea with friends around my neighborhood... but suddenly we found this really cool cafe with a lot of Snoopy characters in it. It's called Charlie Brown Cafe located at Straits Quay, Penang.

Let's check out the desserts and cakes bain-maries!

All their cakes are decorated with really pretty Charlie Brown characters. I picked the tiramisu and green tea cheesecake to try.

The tiramisu is pretty awesome! It would be perfect if there's rum in it. I guess because they have to maintain their halal standard, so no rum. Too bad...

The green tea cheesecake doesn't have any green tea taste at all. Those little chocolate balls on top are pretty interesting. They pops in your mouth! And I thought the Woodstock is made of icing sugar so I skipped that since too much sweets won't do me good. My friend picked it up and ate it. It's actually white chocolate. Damn!!! I made a pretty stupid mistake.

They also have a souvenir shop where you can buy Charlie Brown merchandise.
