My motto in life is: Look like a princess, eat like a dinosaur.
And afternoon tea at the Regent satisfies everything in my book required to nom this way! Having visited the Tea Lounge on a Sunday afternoon, I firmly believe that if you want the best value for your buck, go on the weekend as it is the only time a buffet spread is available. Weekdays consist of a tiered high tea set for $45++. Meh.
On the weekend, for $48++ (approx. $61 in total), you get 2 drinks (with refills for tea), and an international spread of tasty snacks that range from delicate pastries, chewy macarons, cold salads, pâté on bagel chips, foie gras sandwiches, roast beef/duck, satay, chicken wings, sushi, to chocolate fondue and a waffle/crepe station, plus more. It's really quite fantastic when you consider the quality and quantity of food for the price.
The only down side is the service, which can be slow depending on the crowd. However, if you make reservations and request to sit close to the buffet tables, you're golden!
Happy Eating!
