This was the only tea room available in Fortnum & Mason at point of visi, without a booking and the queue wasn't particularly long.
The afternoon tea set, not the best but it was OK for an affordable session! Not too many things on the plate like the usual afternoon tea spread for those who just wants the scones!
*Reservation is recommended.

Ciabatta Ham & Cheese Sandwich (RM20)
It's alright but ain't fantastic. RM20 for this sandwich is really a little too pricey.

The mandatory "artistic" shot when in cafes.
Earl Grey Milk Tea (RM10)
The Earl Grey Milk Tea is not too bad - but overhype. It's like Teh Tarik with minimal Earl Grey flavours. I guess I prefer just the normal Earl Grey tea.

Earl Grey Soufflé (RM15)
So people are going all crazy with their soufflé. Finally got to try this really pretty plate of dessert. Like what some people commented, it is indeed overrated. People are always in love with pretty things, and I'm just one of them! To give them some credits, their home-made grapefruit sorbet is pretty good. Just that the portion is so small - so small they must've scooped it with one round soup spoon. It melts really quickly too. The soufflé is great but not like super wow. It's crusty outside and gooey inside. Sweetness is just right - not too sweet which is perfect! I just did not get the custard-like melt in the mouth feeling. Not sure if it's over baked? I suck at baking so no comments.

I might go back to try other soufflés, just not anything else. Let's see how they can surprise me the next time! On an unrelated note, I love how they decorated the place with Ikea furniture. Minimalism!

They will start off by serving selection of sandwiches / cakes / tarts.
Scones will then be served about 15-20 minutes later to ensure the freshness of it.
This post will not be descriptive as all I can say is you have to try it out yourself. If you're looking for a traditional English afternoon tea place, go for it. Remember to book in advance. You MUST book otherwise you won't your table.
It costs £42 per person. I believe they have already increased it to £45. Click here to reserve your table online.

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.
