3. Classic Afternoon Tea: Timeless Icons at the Lobby Lounge, InterContinental Singapore
As we marvel at the growth of women’s rights over the decades, InterContinental Singapore presents a different sort of evolution via whimsically reimagined traditional local delights. For instance, Caramelised Pate a Choux with Peanut Diplomat Cream is camouflaged as grilled satay skewers, while Financier with Sable, Pandan Coconut Curd and Salted Mascarpone Cream takes the shape of kaya toast. Savoury treats include Assam Prawn Nanas Quiche and Beef Pastrami Sambal Cheddar Cheese Watercress Sandwich.
Rediscover these timeless icons daily from $55++ per adult till May 1, 2022.
