We brought the children for a high tea buffet at the Tea Lounge, and it was an overall enjoyable experience. The pastries and cakes offered a nice balance of sweet and savory options. We also loved the unexpected treats like kuay pie ti, macaroons, and banana chocolate cake. A particularly thoughtful touch was the complimentary birthday cake for our celebration – such a sweet gesture!
While we thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience, there were a few areas that could be improved. It took around 20-25 minutes for the pastries to be prepared. We understand there were other patrons, but considering we were one of the earlier groups to arrive and place our orders, we felt the waiting time could be reduced, especially since most pastries were already prepared beforehand.
Additionally, the tea selection was great, but the time taken to order and receive the tea was quite long. The restaurant was only half occupied at the time, so we believe there may be opportunities to streamline service to ensure guests' needs are more promptly met.
We also noticed that the hot chocolate for kids is not refillable. It would be wonderful if the restaurant could offer more refillable, kid-friendly drink options to enhance the experience for families.
Overall, the experience was memorable for the kids, and we hope to see a more diversified and kid-friendly pastry selection on future visits. We believe these small improvements would elevate the dining experience even further.
