2/5 Melodie L. 4 years ago on Google
For
the
steep
price,
you
would
expect
a
much
higher
standard
of
pastries.
The
selection
is
relatively
small
(compared
to
what
you
would
get
at
the
Raffles
or
Westin
Hotel)
but
this
would
be
forgivable
if
they
actually
tasted
good,
which
was
not
the
case
at
all.
The
2
small
scones
with
Chantilly
cream
were
the
only
good
thing
to
eat
in
this
entire
set
–
even
still,
the
scones
were
a
little
dry.
It
comes
with
a
lemon
curd
which
does
not
pair
well,
so
we
asked
for
a
raspberry
jam
which
was
much
better.
In
the
next
drawer
came
the
sandwiches.
The
smoked
salmon
finger
sandwiches
were
fine,
but
the
egg
mayo
sandwiches
were
barely
filled.
The
brie
in
the
cheese
sandwich
was
tasteless.
The
next
drawer
had
some
mini
chocolate
pots
filled
with
banana
crème
and
coffee
soil
–
bearable
but
the
crème
was
too
sweet.
The
blueberry
tartlet
casing
was
underbaked
and
hence
soft
and
crumbly
–
this
was
the
issue
with
all
of
their
tartlets.
All
of
the
cakes
on
the
top
layer
were
awful.
The
person
in
charge
of
making
sponge
cake
must
be
retrained!
All
the
sponge
was
dry
and
lifeless,
which
did
not
help
cakes
that
were
disgustingly
sweet
and
flat
in
flavor.
No
pride
was
put
into
the
cakes
whatsoever.
The
lychee
marshmallow-like
tart
with
desiccated
coconut
was
so
pudding-y
and
sweet,
it
was
inedible.
The
only
mildly
passable
thing
was
the
green
kaya
cake
which
had
a
nice
strong
pandan
flavour.
That
chocolate-glazed
cake
atop
a
‘biscuit’
base
was
bad
–
the
base
was
neither
biscuity
nor
soft
and
spongy,
just
chewy
and
dry.
I
saved
our
delicious
morrocan
mint
tea
and
hot
chocolate
for
last
to
wash
away
this
sugary
nightmare.
It’s
a
shame
as
people
pay
a
good
amount
for
this
with
nothing
to
show
for
it
except
maybe
pictures
and
some
nice
tea
and
scones.
