Last Friday i met Li-Su for a lovely high tea session at Tea Cozy. Of course we dressed up to take photo's while we were there, so i went with a WC Chiffon Top and some nude pink shorts. Li-Su came in a super cute dress which had a cute embroidery around the neck area and the tulle skirt made it a fun outfit to wear.

Before finding a seat and ordering i decided to check out the place to find the best spot to take photo's of our brunch session. So enjoy the photo spam of the place.
In the end we decided to sit outside since the weather was sunny with the occasional clouds and it would have better lightning when we took photo's.

So let me get started with the entire high tea review! The high tea included a range of ribbon sandwiches, scones, 2 jams of our choice & 2 drinks per person!

Tea Cozy High Tea Menu Ratings:
Taste: ★★★★☆
Everything was just so lovely, nothing was out of place but i wish they had offered small cake pieces into their menu's too since i love eating cakes and sweets when it come to having high tea.
Overall:★★★★☆
It get's a four star because of the cake reason but other than that I LOVE THIS PLACE! Definitely will be taking my mummy out here on our next mother-daughter date!
As the high tea includes 2 drinks per person, we'd be having four cups of tea between the two of us. So i ordered the Red Fancy Fruit tea and Li-Su got the Madagascan Vanilla tea.

I really enjoyed this tea because it was fruit and sweet. It also had a lovely aroma too! Made me feel really cozy indeed!
Price: ★★★☆☆
All tea's are $4.50 per person if you order them individually!
Overall: ★★★★☆
Highly recommend this tea to those who like the fruity sort of taste.
Madagascan Vanilla Ratings:
Taste: ★★★★☆
This one had a more homey feel. I cannot exactly describe the flavor but it reminded me of drinking warm milk at night with a hint of vanilla.
Price: ★★★☆☆
All tea's are $4.50 per person if you order them individually!
Overall: ★★★★☆
If you're up to something unique then this is the tea to go for!
Soon after our high tea set came. The setting was three tiers where the top row had the 2 jams and thickened cream, the middle row was our ribbon sandwiches and the last were their scones!
|
Our little tea session! |
The first food Li-Su and I attacked were the ribbon sandwiches because we were super hungry!!! The different fillings of the sandwiches were creamy tuna, curried egg, ham & dijion and cucumber & cream cheese.

Ribbon Sandwiches Ratings:
Taste: ★★★☆☆
Me and Li-Su both agreed that the creamy tuna and the ham & dijon were the best tasting ones on the plate. But overall the sandwiches were all quite delightful to eat, especially because we were hungry.
Then we tried the scones, jam and double thickened cream and it was just amazing!!!!! The jams we picked were the Fig & Ginger and the Pawpaw, Lime & Passionfruit jam.

Jam & thicken cream |
Jam & Thicken Cream Ratings:
Taste: ★★★★★
I loved both the jams!! They were really nice but i'm a bit bias toward the pawpaw,lime & passionfruit jam as i like a more fruity taste. The Fig and ginger jam was more paste-like so it was slight harder to spread out. But they were simply amazing on the scones!!
|
Freshly baked scones! |
Scones Ratings:
Taste: ★★★★★
No wonder this place is well known for their scones!! Their scones are freshly baked out of the oven. Not only that but we left the scones to last and we entirely forgot that scones start to harden once they are left to cool for some time. Here is where their magic happens, even though the scones were not piping hot out of the oven by the time we start eating them they were still warm, soft and moist! They were the perfect scones!! So i highly recommend everyone to try their scones!!!
Oh! We didn't stop at scones because we still had our second round of drinks. We decided to replace our two individual pots and get a jar of ice green tea with strawberries. Another friend, Stephanie soon joined us and she helped us finish the scones and the ice green tea as Li-Su and I were so full!!

Ice Green Tea with Strawberries Rating:
Taste: ★★★★☆
It had a really refreshing taste but it was really odd so i didn't fancy it as much.
After finishing off our food and drinks we decided to take some photo's around the shop as they had interesting things to look at. My favorite would definitely have to be the display of the teaspoon collection!
|
Look at all the little teaspoons! |
|
Free jars!!! |
We also went upstairs to check it out and the room was beautifully furnished. There were also seating's outside on the veranda, where i took a snapshot of someone else's tea which they had left.
Of course where would we be without a little luvo-ing. My lovely friend Stephanie helped us take the photo's!!
