It’s been close to a year since dessert parlour Huize van Wely opened at Raffles Hotel Singapore with its finely crafted treats. One look at its artisanal sweets and posh ambience, and it’s quite clear that the patisserie hailing from the Netherlands is on the premium end. It does, after all, have longstanding ties to the Dutch Royal Family.
Now, you too can dine like royalty without fearing the bill, all thanks to a special promotion that lets you savour Huize van Wely’s afternoon tea at a discounted rate of $66 for two – that’s just $33 per person. Typically, afternoon tea here costs $106 per pair, so there’s no better time than now to indulge if you’ve yet to tick this pretty tea room off your list.
Each set comes with pea soup and a cheese stick, four savoury items per person, including sausage rolls and quiche, four sweet tarts/cakes for sharing, and three chocolates for sharing. Every diner also gets their choice of coffee or tea in a pot.
There’s no question about Huize van Wely’s quality of fare – every morsel we tried left us wanting for more, though we’d be lying if we said that the petite portion sizes had nothing to do with this. We were rather confused by the fact that we were expected to share tiny bite-sized chocolates, served in odd numbers no less, which could be potentially awkward for diners who aren’t at bestie level.
It was also surprising that the selection of items shared with us over HVW’s WhatsApp hotline differed slightly from what was actually served, so if you have any dietary restrictions (for example, a coffee allergy), it would be best to inform the staff at point of order so that appropriate swaps can be made.
Final verdict? This afternoon tea promotion gives a pocket-friendly introduction to what you’ll find in the rest of the menu – think of it as a sampling platter where you get to identify your favourites and decide what you’d like to come back for in the future. But if you’re after fuller portions, it’d be best to go straight for the a la carte items.
Huize van Wely’s afternoon tea promotion at $66 for two is valid throughout September 2025. It’s available daily from 11.30am onwards, with no fixed seating timings. Find out more and make a reservation via Huize van Wely’s website.
