Nicely tucked in a corner of Ngee Ann city is the Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge on the 2nd storey. It's a perfect place for a tete-à-tête session with your girlfriends, so much so that they even have an award just for that 'occasion'. i personally took some joy in choosing my teacake from the patisserie counter, i chose one which was covered with 'green moss' like how my sis described it...and matched it with a cuppa UVA tea which had a strong vermillion colour with aromatic taste. Actually it was like having a really good cuppa teh-O!!!! Back to their cakes, i heard that the choice favourites were the saccharine pineapple cake (wasnt at the counter today), indulgent coconut cake (i skipped this one cos im not a fan of coconut) or the lusciously rich chocolate brownies cake (mr goh was having indigestion and sore throat). I also saw an old ang-moh guy eating a crumbly homemade scone with twin accompaniment of butter and a flavourful strawberry jam while his wife had a cranberry cheesecake.
if it wasn't that we had our lunch earlier, we would have ordered the set lunch of the day as it was definitely prices far beyond extravagant for it's prime location. If i remembered correctly, the set lunch comes with a cup of aromatic coffee or tea with dessert (obviously their cake), soup or panfried scallop for starters, a choice of seared red snapper or trio opened sandwiches. All for $22.90++ which i tot was really worth its price.
Anyway, the best part of it was everything was served in fine blue painted porcelain, from plates, saucers, cups to sugar condiments! The whole setting was very piquant and fresh with lots of natural sunlight glazing through its double volume windows.
I guess the only downside was the tea and hot chocolate took really long to make its way to our table as the cake arrived almost immediately upon ordering.
I think it certainly worth a once in a visit time.
So make your way there today just like how i make time for it today.
