Equinox Hi Tea - Wonderful Place Wonder Day Wonderful People


Table for twelve at Equinox - Post-R.O.M ( of my dearest sister) Hi-Tea Buffet

St Andrew's Cathedral spotted!

and of course... the landscape of Singapore!

Note that my title of this post says "Equinox Hi Tea - Wonderful Place Wonder Day Wonderful People", but i did not mention wonderful food! Well... you should know why by now, but paying for the view is totally worthy in my opinion.


Pictures named from Left to Right

Chinese Fried Rice - Ee Fu Mee - Bai Cai
Quinche - Pork & Chicken Sausages - Assorted Vegetables
Spread of Chinese cuisine - Fried Dory fish - Porridge

I only fancy the sausages.

Porridge - Chawamushi - Chocolate Fondue and Ice Cream Toppings
Desserts in glasses, cookies and Kueh Lapis - Muffins, Donuts, Puffs - Scones, sandwiches
Fruits - Tuna and Egg mayo sandwiches, Ham & Cheese, Walnut Raisin Cream - Salads

I like this part of the Buffet the most! The scones, sandwiches and salads! Scoop some melted chocolate into a bowl, and dip my sandwiches into a chocolate coated sandwich!

Pancakes - Soba - Pasta prepared on the spot
Table by the window - Assorted breads - Dim Sums

I am curious as to why they serve assorted bread but there is no soup to go along with it!? ultimate sadness! Only olive oil as dips... :(


Tada! and I had a bloody good time gorging myself with these...

Sausages and more sausages for me... Maybe i should join some sausage eating competition... lol. Olives are nice on its own... The siew mai and charsiew pau is not worth a try.

Scones, Egg Mayo sandwich. The star on this plate is that triangular looking thing on the right. That is the Raisin Walnut Cream sandwich! I Love this! i think i ate like 5 of 6 of that!

Almond Pastry, and more of that raisin walnut cream sandwich and scones!
Scones and jam ist sehr gut!

Salad DIY - just like any salad...

Bai Cai and Ee Fu Mee - More sausages... and quinche which was horribly made.

Walnut Cream Raisin Sandwich again! hhaha.... told u i like it!
Ham and Cream cheese sandwich is nice too... but it is veryyy filling...
Sushi - I only tried one piece of sushi, and i though other places have better sushis, and it is not worth more of those carbs from sushis... save it for desserts...

Seafood Salad is nice.. but darn! how can they just give one serving of it...and not refill it anymore? Its a buffet for goodness sake!
And the smoked salmon... they did not replenish that either!

DIY Mango Sorbet with nuts toppings, pistachios and chocolate crisp, and I thought this ice cream creations looks so pretty to the eyes....

Some sweet tasting dessert.... I like the crumps... which are buttery and sinful

chocolatey? Yes you are right.

And even more chocolatey... Fruits platter drizzled with chocolate sauce

oh... and that's the fruit pie at the right side... this sucks.





Goodness...

I am glad I went to the gym in the morning earlier...

But i am sad i fell sick for the next 2 days after this buffet and never workout...




There are more food varieties but are not captured by me as they are pretty common and does not interest me. E.g. Laksa and Pratas etc...



All in all... a good place for good view.

Fancy Delight - Interesting but not delightful

This cute looking tarts were spotted at the Chinese new year goodies fair at Takashimaya. There's a lot of hype over these tarts for it is very cleverly marketed... VARIETIES!

They have fruity flavours - Strawberry, Kiwi, Blueberry etc. Local Flavours - Kaya, Green Tea, Corn etc. And Chicken based - Curry Chicken, Pepper Chicken and Mushroom Chicken etc.

Very interesting right!

So i got... (Clockwise from Top Left) - Double Chocolate, Melting Chocolate, Original, Original, Original again... and lastly Banana!

Disect into half... and this is how melting chocolate looks like... I thought the egg custard could be much better... chocolate just taste like chocolate... but I don't really like the way they go together... no a perfect match....

And so was the banana egg tart... the banana is just that little slice you see at the bottom, and similarly, the egg custard was hmm.. not too good... Banana and egg tarts just don't match too...

Sorry Fancy Delight... Others might find you lovely, but not me larh... Tong Heng still owns you big time... but but... you are the innovative one...
