High Tea @ Madame Patisserie, Boat Quay

Went to this place for high tea on Sunday afternoon together with my hubby with the Groupon deal that I bought somewhere few months back.

They have indoor and outdoor seating, both of which are comfortable and overlooks the Singapore river.

Nice design of menu cards

I ordered their signature high tea set with a pot of tea

My hubby ordered the All Day Breakfast Ham & Cheese

 

The place was rather quiet, so we took our time to have a relaxing high tea here.

Overall, the ambience and service was great.

Lovely Arteastiq Brunch

Found this place last year when I bought some all-day breakfast coupons from Groupon. This time they offer the same deal at Groupon and check out the place with my hubby!

Arteastiq is an ideal place to sit down, chit chat and chill out for an afternoon tea or some light meal.

The deco and furniture here are really fancy. It has a lovely and feminine atmosphere with loads of plush coaches to chill out on for the afternoon with friends / partners. It is a great place to come with friends / partners to catch up after or before shopping.

Really love the creativity and effort they put in food presentation.
