TWG Tea Company :D

One of the best ala carte tea-time cafes:D I've only been to the branch at ION and another in Taka and both were awesome! It has a very European cafe ambience with deco and music and waiters and everything, which makes it an extremely popular place for tea :) It has like over a hundred different types of tea and flavours and each tea has an interesting history behind it :O A booklet on tea descriptions is given to guests but it's definitely quite impossible to read through every single description and history in one visit. (Unless of course you eat and read at the same time which makes having a nice tea and chat session kinda meaningless no? :)) Oh the branch at ION's super cool cos they have this super tall crescent-shaped shelf stocked with all the different kinds of teas in large tins. The ppl managing the tea counter have to get the tea from that shelf, even if it means having to climb to the very top using a ladder! :D

Most of the tea are 11 bucks (like rum tea, geisha tea...) but some are 19 (king's tea)

Normandy Apple Tart with Singapore Breakfast Tea (that's the tea's name!) ice cream and caramel coulis infused with Pomme Prestige Tea :D Super tea-ish! I dunno why the tart's a liiiitle bitter, but it was mostly masked by the sweet caramel anw :D

Great raisin scone :) a tad too small though. I think I still prefer Cedele's. If you like tiny pastries, there're also canele, madelines, financiers and muffins :)

you have to eat the scones with the whipped cream and, wait for it--- TEA JELLY! I think there's a few flavours of tea jelly. It goes amazingly well with the scones! Haha, only reason why I get scones here xD Hmmm should have bought a jar home...

Crème brûlée!!!! 2 mini ones that taste real good xD

Macaroooooons :D my sis chose the ugliest colours of the lot D: haha but I think they taste better than the pretty ones honestly! The purple one's the bestest flavour (Napoleon Tea and Caramel), seriously tastes like heaven :)

Tea shake with Vanilla Bourbon tea! Huge cup and it was extremely creamy :) The vanilla essence was super strong as well! You can choose any tea ice cream from the menu to be made into a shake xD

TWG doesn't just serve tea and tea-time stuff. They also have breakfast, lunch and dinner stuff, like crepes, sandwiches and main course! Everything looks super good but kinda expensive :X I do think the set meals are really well crafted and sound super appetising hahaha gosh, talking abt it makes me want to try!:D
