This is not the first time for my wife and I to enjoy hi-tea buffet at
Tea Lounge, but it probably the longest waiting time we've made for reserving 2 seats in this place. I made reservation on 21st May 2012, and I can only get a slot on 22nd July 2012. Well, that's 2 months and 1 day of waiting. What exactly the thing that make us want to wait for so long?
Well, first of all, Tea Lounge is neither a restaurant or cafe. It doesn't serve either lunch or dinner. So what place is it exactly and what kind of food does it serve?
It is actually a lounge in one corner at the lobby of The Regent Singapore hotel where guests are provided with coffee table and sofa arranged according to the number of guests. So if you made reservation for 2 persons, they'll make arrangement for the table and sofa exactly for 2 persons. They are arranged in a way that the guests feel that it is personally arranged for them.
The food that they are serving are ranging from cakes, bakeries, sandwiches, macarons, chocolate fondu, sushi, chili crab (Singapore famous food), up to smoked lamb and fried chicken. Tea Lounge serves in buffet style. It means you can eat as much as your stomach can take. The main difference with other buffet restaurant is that they don't restrict you how long you want to stay there as long as the business is still open that day. You can eat the food there slowly while enjoying the conversation with your friends. If you come alone, it's a good idea to enjoy the food while reading books.
From time to time, they slightly modify the variety of food they serve. So, when you come another time, you will be spoiled with another set of food variety.
Tea Lounge also serve various types of tea. Well, of course, they do. Otherwise they're not called Tea Lounge. They will serve free flow tea of your choice. You can change your choice of tea once.
