Updated Afternoon Tea Promotions in Singapore (Christmas Edition December 2023)

Few other things are as evocative of the leisurely life as spending the afternoon socializing with friends and family over scones, cakes and finger sandwiches laid out nicely on a three-tier stand. Afternoon teas have only increased in popularity following the new normal as more folks take it slow and focus more on personal wellness.

In this article, I try to show all the updated afternoon tea offerings at the moment. Afternoon tea sets tend to get refreshed every few months so without further ado, these are the promotions you can check out this month. In December, many hotels are switching to a festive-themed set while still retaining many of their signature light bites and sweet treats.

Afternoon Tea Promotions in Singapore (December 2023)

Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore

*Top Pick for a Filling Afternoon Tea Buffet* The high tea at J65 in Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore can probably substitute as a late lunch (it starts from 12:30PM every Saturday and Sunday) given that it is served in a buffet format and includes heavier mains such as Chicken Rendang, Oxtail Stew, Herb Roasted Chicken with Buttered Vegetables and more. These dishes are interspersed with more common afternoon tea delights like Nyonya Kueh Pie Tee, Quiche, a variety of sandiwches and cakes. The only downside to this format is that you don’t get to feel like a tai tai sitting with a 3-tier stand. Note that some of the dishes may be altered during festive periods.

Christmas High Tea: For 24,25, 31 December as well as 1 January; J65 will be offering a special festive high tea with added treats such as Christmas Log Cake, Christmas Stollen, Christmas Fruit Cake, Apple Pie and more.
