We
had
a
wonderful
afternoon
tea
experience
at
the
Lobby
Lounge.
The
service
was
impeccable
from
beginning
to
end!
The
staff
were
incredibly
attentive
and
helped
us
with
preparing
&
serving
the
gelato,
which
you
typically
take
yourself.
They
also
offered
to
help
us
take
pictures
and
checked
in
on
how
we
liked
the
food.
We
were
able
to
stay
for
3
hours,
beyond
the
2h
afternoon
tea
slot.
We
ordered
both
the
whimsical
(classic)
and
vegan
sets.
There
are
components
of
each
set
we
enjoyed
more
than
others,
so
here
is
our
honest
review:
-
For
the
whimsical
set,
the
chilli
crab
stood
out
among
the
savouries.
We
found
it
quite
spicy
but
so
delicious!
Might
be
quite
strong
for
those
who
don't
typically
take
spice.
The
others
were
fine
but
nothing
extraordinary.
All
of
the
desserts
were
quite
chio
and
pretty
good
tasting
as
well
-
our
personal
favourites
were
the
Cheshire
(interestingly
tasted
like
perfume)
and
the
Ace
of
Hearts.
-
For
the
vegan
set,
the
curry
puff
with
chutney
was
fantastic!
We
think
that
the
nuggets
and
fishless
fingers
were
from
Quorn
-
which
tastes
nice,
but
we
did
not
expect
pre-made
items.
The
veggie
bao
was
quite
ordinary,
we
have
had
better
ones
at
kopitiams.
Among
the
vegan
desserts,
we
enjoyed
the
caramel
banana
tart
most.
It's
not
out
of
the
world
but
was
very
yummy.
Unfortunately,
the
taste
of
the
other
desserts
were
subpar;
we
seldom
eat
vegan
desserts
so
the
lack
of
dairy
and
eggs
could
have
contributed
to
this,
plus
the
madeleine
was
quite
dense
and
we
aren't
fans
of
mint
-
hence
our
reaction
to
the
vegan
sweet
treats.
-
There's
free
flow
gelato
and
sorbet
as
part
of
the
afternoon
tea,
and
we
tried
the
chocolate
and
cookie
dough
gelato
which
were
fantastic!
Wanted
to
try
more
but
was
too
full.
-
For
drinks,
we
got
earl
grey
tea
(which
comes
in
a
beautiful
large
pot
and
special
sugar
crystal
stick)
and
iced
latte
(which
we
added
caramel
sauce
from
the
classic
scone
too).
Lovers
of
caramel
macchiato
or
have
a
sweet
tooth
may
appreciate
this
modification.
Despite
our
mixed
feelings
about
the
food,
we
are
still
giving
5
stars
because
of
the
excellent
service,
ambience,
and
presentation.
The
food
is
largely
ordinary
in
terms
of
taste,
with
a
few
hits
and
misses,
but
we
still
enjoyed
it
regardless.
We
give
our
sincere
thanks
and
compliments
to
the
staff
working
at
Lobby
Lounge!
