The ideal lazy afternoon for me is a tête-à-tête over some pastries and a cup of tea. We’ve gone through our favourite afternoon tea spots in Singapore, but with Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) still in effect even though restrictions are easing for those who are fully vaccinated, we may have to put those plans on hold for a little longer. 

Thankfully, takeaway afternoon tea sets are a thing, and you can enjoy these beautiful sets from the comfort of your own home.

I’m a sucker for seasonal themes, and Conrad Centennial pays homage to well-loved local flavours with its Flavours of Singapura afternoon tea. Flavours such as gula melaka, ondeh ondeh, and even chili crab make an appearance in this gorgeous afternoon-tea set, with its charming packaging designed by Kenny, a graduate from Delta Senior School. 

Key “STAYHOME15” in the promo code column to enjoy an exclusive 15% off all orders for takeaway and delivery.

Price: $85.60 for 2 pax

Tablescape

Tablescape at Grand Park City has just introduced its newly refreshed and reinvigorated afternoon tea set, which is available for delivery and takeaway during this Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) period. Exquisite ingredients like black truffle, foie gras, and caviar all take the center stage in this afternoon tea set. A smorgasbord of sweet and savoury selections await, such as sable breton with bresaola, crème fraiche and gherkin, foie gras tartlet with nectarine and pistachio, as well as Tablescape's signature: freshly baked scones and sesame brioche. Wash it all down with tea from Clipper 1872 or some aromatic coffee.

Price: $68 for 2 pax

The Capitol Kempinski

The National Day parade might be postponed this year to August 21, but you can still celebrate the occasion with Capitol Kempinski’s National Day afternoon tea. This three-course curated menu comes in a multi-functional box with handcrafted savouries and sweets that reflect the provenance of the nation, heavily inspired by local and Straits Chinese delights.

Think along the lines of chicken rice arancini, beef rendang mantou, and otak cheese brioche for the savouries, paired with kopi siew dai cake and bubur cha cha pudding for the sweets. The panda scone is served with Milo chocolate malt spread, a condensed milk caramel, and a berries jam. Need I say more? 

Price: $42 per pax.

Tea Lounge

This elegant afternoon tea set from Regent Hotel’s Tea Lounge will be sure to transport you straight to the English countryside. If items like dried cranberry scones, roasted angus beef sirloin sandwich with mustard, parma ham and baby leek quiche, and Tahitian vanilla lemon financier tickle your fancy, you’re in for a treat. Pair that with your choice of Gryphon tea, and you’ve got the perfect afternoon planned out. Gluten-free and vegetarian tea sets are also available for those with special dietary requirements. Free delivery for orders above $180.

Price: $96 for 2 pax, or $188 for 4 pax

Shangri-La

Is there truly anyone out there who doesn’t go crazy over Japanese goodies? While we still can’t travel, you can make up for it with The Rose Vaeranda’s Japanese Summer high tea set. This beautifully-curated set shines light on the best of seasonal ingredients throughout Japan, which are incorporated in a variety of innovative ways. Indulge in creations such as the Miyazaki mango tartlet, Shizuoka prefecture yuzu macaron, and vanilla with Kyoto Uji matcha scones.  It’s a small price to pay to get a taste of Japan in Singapore.

Price: $78 for 2 pax

You can also opt for The Rose Veranda high tea takeaway set ($68 for 2 pax), which takes the phrase “pretty in pink” quite literally — creations such as strawberry lobster slaw sandwich, strawberry yuzu roulade, litchi strawberry choux. I’m dreaming about those vanilla & rose infused scones.

Price: $68 for 2 pax
