With the “Go Lokal” afternoon tea over at Portman’s Bar, it’s a celebration of all things local. From now till August 31, tucking into this exquisite afternoon tea set is one of the more enjoyable ways to spend this year’s National Day. Plus, there’s an air of sophistication to this hotel lounge at Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay. With a pavilion resembling a gilded bird cage and its leafy surrounds, it’s an ideal setting to while away a lazy weekend afternoon this August.
The set comes beautifully presented in Portman’s Bar’s signature picnic basket, filled to the brim with locally inspired dishes. Savouries include a chicken floss slider, a spiced chicken satay, and a large crab wonton that’s been doused in a decadent chilli crab sauce. There is also a range of sweets, from an old-school butter cake to a pandan coconut tiramisu. If still peckish, make the most of Portman’s Bar’s roving Sweet Wagon for a selection of patisseries, macarons, and other sweet bites.
The "Go Lokal" afternoon tea starts from $58 per person, and you can also choose to add on two hours of free-flow Taittinger champagne for $68 or Prosecco for $38. You can also choose a classic Milo dinosaur or roselle tea mocktail for an additional $10.
