high tea food review - yay or nay? ๐ฐโ๏ธ๐ซ
๐Pacific Emporium (inside Pan Pacific Hotel)
Address: 7 Raffles Blvd, Singapore 039595 (Marina Square)
๐ Nearest MRT: Promenade
๐ฐ Price: $70 (this is based on the $58++/person price)
๐ The good
- The ambience was ๐ฏ Really pretty!
- Drinks: the welcome drink had this hint of pandan which was really delicious! Teas were also good!
- Most of the savouries were not bad! Just that the bread was often a little too dry :/
- Strawberry shortcake, hukambi salted caramel tart and passion fruit pistachio bar were really good! ๐ I was pleasantly surprised :)
- The laksa was nice!
๐ซค The not so good
- The service itself was good, but the speed was really not it ๐
- Fish tank (yes, that's the name of the dessert) and the hazelnut praline puff were wayyy too sweet for me :(
- The sizes of the local delights shocked me into outer space because they were so...tiny. The bowl of laksa was small, but the crispy lobster popiah blew my mind - not in a good way - because it was so tiny it literally fit into a small saucer, the type you can pour soy sauce into ๐ It was also more like ngo hiang than popiah as well
- The pineapple sorbet tasted weird
โ๏ธ Verdict: Would I come back? Yes - but not for the high tea. I would come back for the buffet, since the items are the same (according to one of the waitresses we spoke to!).
