These pictures were from my recent visit to Shang-ri La Rose Veranda. Though it was a Tuesday afternoon, the place was pretty much filled up with guests having Lunch cum High Tea here. The variety of food seems to be much better than my last visit there last year. Here are some pictures taken using my newly bought hand phone - Sony Xperia Z. I wanted to take more pictures but was hesitant after my bad experience at another hotel where I was stopped from taking any picture by some Ang Moh waitress which inevitably ruined my day.
Anyway, for this round, I decided to just snap some shots from what I took on my plates. Something different this time was that each guest was entitled to 1 tea and 1 coffee for the buffet. Tea was refillable. And for addition selection of tea, there would be an extra charge of $7 ++ each. I recalled previously they had a buffet price for unlimited selection of tea. Well, no complains for this change as I don't think one can drink that much tea or coffee anyway. And to get around this limitation, if you were there with a few friends, each person could actually select a different type of tea for all to try. (Tea is refillable, remember? :) )
What I like about this place is that from Mondays to Fridays, High Tea is served from 11.30am to 6.00pm. It is a good place for a girlfriends gathering. If you book online, you get a 15% discount. There are some credit cards that gives some discounts periodically.
Chicken pies and Crab claws
Finger sandwiches and Dim Sum
Carrot cake, Crunchy cold prawns, Sauteed Mushroom and Butter Chicken
Mee Siam (Thumbs up for this)
Macaroon, Mango Slice and Scones with Clotted Cream
Cheesecake Topped with Honey Dew
There were plenty of other dishes like fresh salmon and tuna, baked salmon in puff pastry, and a variety of pastries and ice creams. The quality has definitely improved. Besides the food, it is also the atmosphere that I like there. It is not only cosy but also the warm and welcoming feeling I get when I am there.
I was actually there to celebrate my birthday. You can inform them ahead of time if you are celebrating your birthday and they would prepare a small cake for you and sing you a birthday song. This round I didn't inform them earlier as I felt quite embarrassed having people singing for me. My brother seeing other people having birthday cake asked the waitress if she could get a cake for me. It was quite touching that though this was last minute, the restaurant actually brought me a last minute birthday cake and sang me a song.
Last but not least ..... I will be back!! :)
