High tea @ The Landing Point Fullerton

This birthday treat was given by my little sister (well..... not so little anymore😃). Oh yes! a not-so-often opportunity to enjoy the delicacies of a high tea, especially at one of the exquisite venues in the city. But, oh no! Piling on more calories than I should😢

A little "bite" on history:

The construction of Collyer Quay was completed in 1864 and was named after Captain George Chancellor Collyer. It stretches from the junction of Fullerton Road/ Battery Road to D'Almeida Street. It was construction to replace the sand beach along the same stretch to served as a landing point for unloading of goods coming into Singapore in the olden days.

As the city progressed many more high rising buildings were built. Now Collyer Quay is no long serving the same purpose as it used to but flourished into a elegant, exquisite venue for hotels, entertainment and fine dining as well as part of the important financial district in Singapore.

This is the Clifford Pier Restaurant (another historical site converted into a high-class dining venue) which also serves highly popular afternoon heritage buffet.

Coming back to the yummy high tea, here we go...

Scones...... not very stand out, in our opinion.. probably to serve as a before-meal appetizer.

Here is the full tray when it was first served. After that the delicacies are replenished according to our choice.

Items include two layers of savoury bites with a centre layer of sweet treats: Lobster tart (definitely our favourite!), Smoked Salmon sandwich, mini ham burger, mini quiche, mini cucumber sandwich, Canelé and Pistachio Madeline, Pandan layer cake, Lemon Layer cake, Chocolate Éclair, truffle-infused mini egg sandwich (our favourite too) and scones.
