You can snag Champagne with afternoon
tea anywhere these days, but only one
place gives you a Ginger R cocktail to
sip with your tea and scones. It’s all part
of the new afternoon tea at the Four
Seasons Hotel’s One-Ninety by Javier
de las Muelas, the bar bearing the name
of the Spanish mixologist who recently
revamped the cocktail menu. You’ll get
three tiers of sweets (mango cupcakes,
scones), savouries (lobster and tarragon
salad, organic smoked salmon on
brioche) and TWG tea along with a teapot
cocktail containing Javier’s signature
flavour droplets. Don’t worry – cocktails
are more smooth than strong with
ingredients like passion fruit, mint, white
peach and lychee. $62 per person. 190
Orchard Boulevard. Call 6831 7671.
We may not get delicate spring weather in Singapore, but we
can still celebrate the best ingredients of the season. The spring
menu at St. Regis Singapore’s French restaurant, Brasserie Les
Saveurs , features dishes like European white asparagus, grilled
lamb cutlets with spring vegetables, and strawberries flambéed
with fresh black pepper and 100-year-old Grand Marnier (from
$148 for the five-course degustation menu, 6506 6860). And
expect creamy burrata with fresh Italian vegetables (shown
here), nettle risotto and octopus and spicy Calabrian nduja with
sweet white corn on the spring menu at Sentosa’s Il Lido (from
$98 for the six-course degustation menu, 6866 1977).
