Nestled in the quaint neighbourhood of Holland Village (and close to the Holland Village MRT Station), Fosters Steakhouse is known for their decadent food including the Devonshire Cream Tea Set ($13.50++) which is arguably among the cheapest high tea sets in the whole of Singapore.

And for a restaurant that’s been around since the 1960’s, you can expect to indulge in only fresh, high-quality bakes and beverages.

The spread features fresh scones with butter, home-made strawberry preserve and fresh cream, cake, finger sandwiches, and a cup of freshly brewed coffee or pot of tea.

Address: 277 Holland Avenue, Holland Village, Singapore 278994

02 • TWG Tea

Although TWG Tea has garnered a reputation for being expensive, did you know that its 1837 tea set will only need you to fork out $20? And that’s for two freshly baked muffins or scones served with TWG Tea jelly and whipped cream, or a patisserie from the trolley.

If you want something fancier, give the Chic menu ($35) a shot — it’s much more extensive and comes with an additional set of savoury finger sandwiches like crab tarts, and brioches with Thai basil chicken, chilli and tea-infused mango.

What better way to enjoy your afternoon tea than in tranquillity? Head down to Wildseed, a cafe quietly tucked in a corner of Seletar Aerospace Drive, with an afternoon tea set that’ll cost $58 for 2 pax ($29 per person).

Pamper yourself with a lavish spread of strawberry shortcakes, salted caramel macarons, mini avocado toast with bacon, lemon meringue tartlets, and a crab salad croissant just to name a few.

Have your pick between their tea or coffee, or fork out just two more dollars for their cold brew tea or signature blooming tea.

If you’re feeling peckish, try out their other options too — like waffles, or the Wagyu beef pie that’s baked to golden perfection, and sesame chicken wings.

Aside from this, Wildseed Cafe’s Alkaff Mansion outlet is offering a Christmas high tea set that’ll set you back $68 for 2 pax ($34 per person).

Sink your teeth into delights such as almond gingerbread cookies, Christmas star cookies, smoked salmon toast with sour cream, and a turkey ham and cranberry croissant.

You can also top up $2 for either a cold brew tea or their blooming tea, or go the extra mile and shell out $10 for a glass of Cava wine or $18 for the more premium Perrier-Jouet wine.

Note: If you’re going for the wine, let someone else do the driving.
