The swanky Conrad Centennial is the place to indulge and feel good about it. The opulent Lobby Lounge features a 24-carat gold leaf ceiling and its tasteful interior is decorated in cosy warm tones.
It currently has a Blushing Strawberry Afternoon Tea menu ($55++ per pax) which runs till April 30, 2025. It's one of the cutest and most vibrant high tea sets I've ever seen.
As you can surmise from the name, this high tea set is all about strawberries. That lends itself well to dessert items like delicate shortcakes and a fragrant Earl Grey mousse, but I didn't expect the savouries too to match the theme. Flamed Diver Scallops and Strawberry Glazed Foie Gras, anyone?

It's easy to immerse yourself in the British tradition of high tea when you're at The Fullerton Hotel given its colonial history.
The Courtyard restaurant offers dainty morsels that include both Western and Asian flavours from a classic cucumber sandwich to a medley of petite cakes. Tea and coffee are sadly only a one-time serving, but for the price of $58++ at a fancy hotel, we can't complain.
The current seasonal high tea at The Courtyard is the Strawberry Bliss Afternoon Tea ($58++). As you can guess, strawberries are the star ingredient in all its various forms. Highlights include their Pistachio Strawberry made with 100 per cent pure pistachio paste, classic Strawberry Shortcake, and tangy-sweet Strawberry Rhubarb.
The Strawberry Bliss Afternoon Tea is also available at The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore’s The Landing Point for a slightly higher price point of $68++.

Alcohol is also available for an extra fee.
Currently on the menu till March 31, 2025 is possibly the most unusual high tea I've ever heard of. I mean, we've seen high tea sets inspired by all sorta of key ingredients (strawberries, citrus, flowers, and so on), but what about a high tea inspired by a Cultural Medallion-winning Singaporean artist?
Brushstrokes of Heritage: An Ode to Lim Tze Peng ($68++) runs from now till March 31, 2025. It marries culinary artistry with Lim Tze Peng's masterful works, featuring artfully crafted petites such as Attap House with Kopi Cream and Mandarin Confit, Smoked Salmon Blinis, and Boston Lobster Popiah.
