Afternoon tea at Raffles Hotel Singapore is a true classic. While they occasionally hold a thematic afternoon tea session, with curated menus that’ll bring you to far-flung countries like Vienna and New York, their standard afternoon tea ($80) is an easy choice. It all comes beautifully presented on a three-tier silver stand, with finger sandwiches and homemade scones. Now till June 4, their highly anticipated Sakura Afternoon Tea Experience ($108) will transport you to cherry-blossomed Japan with a taste of Japanese-inspired sweet treats and savoury delights.
Afternoon tea is a quintessentially British tradition. Call it a colonial hang-up but it's also one of our favourite ways to while away an afternoon. What's not to love about pressing pause and spending time with a good cuppa, delectable sweets and savouries, and a plush, comfortable sofa? Here's where to go to raise your pinkies and clink glasses.
