Updated Afternoon Tea Promotions in Singapore (September 2022)

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.

Afternoon Tea Promotions in Singapore (September 2022)

InterContinental Singapore

The Lobby Lounge at InterContinental Singapore has 3 types of afternoon tea sets available. The first is their seasonal classic afternoon tea offering. For this month, the 3-tier set includes highlights such as Salted Caramel Cream with Pecan Maple Frangipane, a deliciously nutty and fluffy frangipane base topped with fragrant Salted Caramel Cream and Pecans for an extra crunch; Fig Raspberry Marmalade with Rose Pastry Cream Choux Pastry, a delicate pastry generously filled with a slightly tart Fig Raspberry Marmalade – making it the perfect complement to the Rose Pastry Cream which results in a burst of creamy fruity flavours with every bite; the Poached Williams Pear Compote, Lime Verbena Foam with Pear Ginger Mousse – a light, airy citrusy treat with a surprise hint of spice from the pear ginger mousse, and unlimited Spiced Maple Oat Scones that perfectly captures the warm and toasty flavours of Autumn.

The higher tier Heritage Royal Luxury Afternoon Tea on the other hand, comes with a glass of champagne as a standard inclusion. Light bites include Ayam Buah Keluak Crostini, Caviar and Smoked Salmon Pumpernickel and Chilli Lobster Sandwich tucked in a mini roll with crushed peanuts. The sweet selection includes Gold Dusted Ondeh Ondeh Cake, a light kaya sponge with coconut mousse and caramel gula melaka; Gold Leaf Banana Genoa, topped with sweetened coconut cream and gold leaf; and Hazelnut Praline Tart.

One Ninety Bar at Four Seasons Singapore has launched an exquisite “Kyoto in Autumn” afternoon tea set every Saturdays and Sundays, applicable until 27th November.

The Fullerton Hotel

The Traditional Afternoon Tea experience at The Fullerton Hotel is served in the lobby and stays true to the British ritual with  a  classic assortment of  finely  cut  sandwiches  and  delicate pastries. From Thursdays to Sundays, you can also catch a live hard performance with the high-ceiling atrium filled with melodious tunes.

Enjoy a round of teatime staples, from the simple yet elegant cucumber sandwich, favored by aristocrats in the Victorian era to the distinctive Battenberg Cake — a quintessentially British dessert created in  1884 as the royal wedding cake for Princess Victoria, granddaughter of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Louis of the Battenberg family.

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.

Fullerton Bay Hotel

Sit back and enjoy a round of afternoon tea with sublime views of Marina Bay. The Landing Point’s Expressions Afternoon Tea comes with light bites such as Seared Tuna Tataki, Roasted Prime Beef Brioche, Duck Rillettes, Egg Kaya Toast, Ice Gem Lemon Tart and more. Their tea comes from TWG while coffee comes from Bacha.

Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre

Window on the Park at Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre has one of the more underrated afternoon teas in Singapore. I have personally tried it and despite the relatively affordable price tag, I found nibbling through the three-tier stand to be a rather enjoyable affair. There are quite a few interesting items in their set including Golden Bak Kwa and Cheese Croissant, Prawn Treasure with Caviar, Carrot Cake as well as Cranberry Scones. This is a halal-certified afternoon tea.

Conrad Centennial Singapore

The tea selection comprises a wide variety – from Milky Oolong to Irish Whiskey Cream.

You can expect the likes of the Asian Gula Melaka Tiramisu, Aussie Cranberry Scones with Homemade Berries Jam & Cream and Durian Profiteroles with Green Crusted Almond Nibs.
