Conrad Centennial Singapore. This delightful Christmas theme is available from

We are welcomed by “The Grinch”. This welcome mocktail is
made from mango, lime and soda water. Sugar crust is added on the lips of the
cup to sweeten the concoction more. The Grinch has a nice colour combination, yellow
mango at the bottom, blue lime in the middle and clear soda water at the top. Once
you stir it, the green colour will slowly engulf the whole drinks. Luckily the
drink tasted sweet and refreshing, unlike The Grinch that is full of bitterness
towards Christmas.

Weekend
Afternoon Tea consists of 4 courses, starting with Seafood Platter. Your palate
will be treated with fresh Poached Boston Lobster, Irish Oysters and Fresh
Prawns. The lobster prawns are firm and springy, and I have both of them plain
and really enjoy the natural sweetness of the seafood. This season, the Irish
Oysters are more subtle. I added a few drops of vinaigrette dressing to bring
out the flavour of the oysters.

Slow
Cook Beef Brisket, Mushroom and Caramelized Onion, Toast, Cheese Sauce and Guacamole
Parsley is the second course. The beef brisket is tender and easily pulled
apart when you cut thought solid toast. The bread used here is solid and hard,
suitable to handle the heavy meat and jus from ingredients. I just wish there
is some gherkin to balance the richness in this toast.

This
time around I ordered Orange Pekoe tea to pair with my afternoon tea. The tea
is aromatic and well balanced.

The
third course is the combination of sweet and savoury bites base with festive
theme. I started with the savoury selections first. Roasted Turkey, Orange
Marmalade and Brie Sandwich in Rye Bread & Multigrain Tartlet Roasted
Chicken, Cranberries and Raisin Jam, Baby Cress are my pick. The combination of
savoury poultry together with sweetness from the fruits sure brought out the
flavour of Christmas.

Ball.

My
personal pick is the Snow Man and Santa Sleigh. Snow Man contains mango fillings,
light and mildly sweet. Meanwhile, Santa Sleigh has a complex design and it
delivers solid chocolate flavour. Since this is Christmas desserts, you can expect
the desserts to be bold and sweeter. Do try and let me know which one you like as
well.

The final course is Scones served with Clotted Cream, Mixed Spiced Apricot Jam
& Homemade Strawberry Jam. There are two types of scones, plain and cranberry.
My favourite mix is always the combo of strawberry jam and clotted cream. I find
the apricot is bit too sweet for my liking.
