Afternoon Tea. There is something nice and civilised about this ritual. You and your friends are seated and marvelling at a beautiful tiered stand filled with smart looking canapés and dainty sweet pastries. The aroma of freshly brewed tea permeates the air and everyone is enjoying the light chatter and laughter before the first bite. What follows is the not so silent agreement on how delicious everything is. How did this wonderful ritual came about? No one is quite sure how we came to enjoy afternoon teas. One thing for sure, we inherited this lovely ritual from the British.

It is said that the Duchess of Bedford, who suffered hunger pangs from the long stretch between lunch and dinner, decided to remedy it with a tray of tea, bread, butter and sweet cakes. Once this delightful meal is shared with friends, it progressed into the wonderful social event we know today as afternoon tea.

Thanks to the Duchess, TWO bakers has introduced their own spin on the tradition. This afternoon tea is a social event nonetheless, best to be shared with a friend or two! The high tea set consist of a minimalist 2 tier stand with warm scones, cream and sweet raspberry jam. There is a fragrant Earl Grey ganache cake, an adorable looking Strawberry shortcake and flavour filled Mango passionfruit choux. One bite into them and it is heaven! As for the savoury canapés, they are beautifully presented into mini Ham and mushroom brioche, Avocado and Norwegian smoked salmon sourdough and Truffle egg mayo blinis. The afternoon tea is treat as it is a visual and tasty delight.

This scrumptious tea set is available between 3pm to 5pm on weekdays, and priced at SGD $30 per pax.
