10|Scotts @ Grand Hyatt - The Weekend Grand Afternoon Tea

On weekdays, afternoon tea at 10|SCOTTS takes on a more traditional format, with a selection of savouries and sweets presented on a tiered stand. On weekends, however, the experience becomes a little more indulgent. The Weekend Grand Afternoon Tea features a more substantial semi-buffet spread, allowing diners to graze at their own pace through salads, charcuterie, cheeses, sandwiches, appetisers and hot dishes, before ending on a sweeter note with freshly baked scones and a selection of dainty desserts presented on a stand.

Hot Chocolate and Coffee

Juices

The spread is complemented by a generous selection of drinks, including a welcome drink of Saicho Jasmine Sparkling Tea, free-flow juices, and two servings of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

Salad Bar

At the Salad Bar, diners can choose a pumpkin salad or build their own plate from a selection of fresh greens and leafy vegetables, accompanied by assorted condiments and dressings. It is a light way to begin before moving on to the other items.

Charcuterie and Cheese

The Charcuterie selection features freshly sliced meats accompanied by chutney, pickled onion, cornichons and olives. Cheese lovers can also stop at the Artisanal Cheese counter, which features a curated range from Les Frères Marchand, served with chutney, dried fruits, seeds, nuts, and crackers.

Sandwiches

The Sandwiches section features an assortment of simple finger sandwiches, including familiar favourites such as egg mayo, lobster and chicken buns. While the flavours were decent, the selection felt conventional and didn’t leave a strong impression.

Smoked Salmon Waffle

I preferred the Smoked Salmon Waffle with Cream Cheese from the live station. Prepared fresh in small batches, the waffle was still warm and crisp when I tried it.

Roast Beef with Roasted Vegetables

Butter Chicken with Biryani Rice

For something hearty, we also offer dishes such as Roast Beef with Roasted Vegetables, Butter Chicken with Biryani Rice, and Mushroom Soup. These warmer dishes give the afternoon tea a more substantial feel and make it feel closer to a light lunch than a conventional afternoon tea.

Sweets

Scones

Once you have had your fill of the savouries, the scones and sweets are brought to the table on a tiered stand. This also ensures that the scones arrive warm. Both traditional plain and raisin scones are available, accompanied by clotted cream, seasonal jam, and an interesting kaya foam that adds a local touch to the classic afternoon tea staple. I was also impressed by the selection of five sweets, all thoughtfully composed and distinct from one another.

Calamansi Meringue Tart

The Calamansi Meringue Tart was one of the more refreshing options, with citrusy calamansi curd balancing the meringue’s sweetness on a crisp tart base. Interestingly, the curd is made using fresh calamansi harvested from the hotel’s own garden.

Black Glutinous Rice Mousse with Thai Mango

The Black Glutinous Rice Mousse with Thai Mango is another contemporary take on familiar Asian dessert flavours. I particularly enjoyed the contrast from the little bits of glutinous rice within the mousse, which made it rather unique.

Date Sponge

The Date Sponge was another delicious confection, paired with gula melaka and vanilla Chantilly. The combination brought together warm caramel notes with a light creaminess.

Bandung Pudding

Local flavours continue with the Bandung Pudding, comprising layers of smooth milk pudding and fragrant rose jelly. I am usually not much of a pudding person, but this was surprisingly enjoyable.

Banana Chocolate Moelleux

My favourite, however, was still the Banana Chocolate Moelleux, made with Guanaja dark chocolate and banana compote. Chocolate and banana is a classic combination that is hard to go wrong with, and this was pure chocolatey goodness.

Overall, the Weekend Grand Afternoon Tea at 10|SCOTTS makes for a relaxing afternoon with plenty to eat and drink. The elegant yet comfortable lounge setting complements the unhurried nature of the experience. With weekend seating from 2pm to 4.30pm, you have ample time to settle in, linger over a drink, and leisurely work your way through the spread. Do note, however, that takeaways are not permitted for the afternoon tea, including any remaining items from the sweets stand.

The Lobby Lounge @ Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel - AI-Powered Personalised Wellness Afternoon Tea with Luli

Looking for an afternoon tea experience with a wellness twist? The Lobby Lounge at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore has partnered with Luli to introduce an AI-powered Personalised Wellness Afternoon Tea, combining seafood-inspired bites, sweet treats and customised herbal tea recommendations.

Available until 4 October 2026, the experience begins with a tongue scan powered by Aiteaic, Luli’s AI wellness platform. Guests then receive a personalised herbal tea recommendation based on their individual TCM wellness profile, making the pairing more personal.

Luli specialises in Traditional Chinese Medicine-inspired beverages, combining traditional herbal ingredients with a contemporary approach to wellness beverages using natural, premium ingredients.

Oceanic Treasures Afternoon Tea 3.8/5

Priced from $68++ for two, the afternoon tea features a selection of savouries and sweets from the hotel’s Oceanic Treasures Afternoon Tea, alongside Luli’s wellness teas. As my profile was ‘Balanced’, I was served the earthy and nutty Coix Seed and Adzuki Bean Tea.

The savoury tier is seafood-focused with Salt & Pepper Soft Shell Crab, Seafood Glass Noodle Salad, Stone Crab Mango Salad and Smoked Salmon Bruschetta.

The Salt & Pepper Soft Shell Crab was fried crisp, while the Stone Crab Mango Salad was served chilled with a sweet-savoury combination.

For something lighter, the Smoked Salmon Bruschetta had a familiar combination on crisp bread. The Seafood Glass Noodle Salad was pretty appetising, with a slight spice and tang, but we wished it had been served in a bigger portion.

The sweet selection features Kahlua Tiramisu Chocolate Cup, Salted Caramel Macaron, Pistachio Chocolate Choux, Ruby Velvet and Philadelphia Baked Cheesecake.

The selection offered a good mix of textures and flavours, ranging from chocolatey to fruity and sweet-savoury. We preferred the Pistachio Chocolate Choux for its mild sweetness and nutty notes.

No afternoon tea would be complete without scones, and guests can enjoy unlimited Blueberry and Buttermilk Scones, served warm with clotted cream and a selection of jams.

For those looking to make the experience even more special, personalised wellness beverages are also available as add-ons, including a wellness mocktail at $12 for two or a low-alcohol wellness cocktail at $24 for two.

The Courtyard @ The Fullerton Hotel Singapore - Exclusive Collaboration with World-Renowned Pastry Chef Antonio Bachour

There is something rather special about an afternoon tea when the pastries are created by one of the world’s most celebrated pastry chefs. The Fullerton Hotel Singapore welcomes internationally acclaimed pastry chef Antonio Bachour for a limited-time collaboration, bringing his signature contemporary pâtisserie to The Courtyard.

Known for his vibrant, highly refined approach to pastry, Chef Bachour has received eight prestigious international accolades, including the World’s Best Pastry Chef title from The Best Chef Awards and the Pastry Innovation Award from La Liste. With more than 25 years in the industry and eight recipe books to his name, his creations are as much about visual artistry as they are about flavour and texture.

For this collaboration, guests can look forward to an Afternoon Tea experience featuring a selection of Chef Bachour’s signature creations, alongside an assortment of cakes, pastries and viennoiserie available throughout the collaboration.

Priced at S$75 per adult and S$45 per child, the Afternoon Tea is available from 15 August to 15 November 2026, with seatings from 12.30pm to 2.30pm and 3.30pm to 6pm. The menu takes a contemporary approach to the familiar Afternoon Tea format, moving from savoury bites into an indulgent line-up of pastries and sweets.

Starting with the savouries, the Foie Gras Crème Brûlée offers a luxurious take on a classic French dessert, transforming the familiar crème brûlée format into an elegant savoury bite. The Crème Fraîche Tart with Caviar pairs creamy crème fraîche with the delicate salinity of caviar for a refined start to the experience.

The smaller savoury creations continue with the Lobster Roll and Lox & Choux, combining familiar ingredients with Chef Bachour’s polished pastry techniques. The lobster roll offers a touch of indulgence in bite-sized form, while the lox and choux cleverly brings together smoked salmon-inspired flavours with the light, airy texture of choux pastry.

Of course, the sweets are where Chef Bachour’s personality really shines. The Exotic Pressed Sable showcases the pastry chef’s flair for balancing textures and tropical flavours, while Bachour’s Rocher is one of the highlights for chocolate lovers. Developed over his more than 25-year career, the creation takes inspiration from the iconic Ferrero Rocher and reinterprets it through Bachour’s contemporary pastry style, with layers of chocolate, crunch and richness packed into an elegant petit gâteau.

Another standout is the Coconut Panna Cotta with Guava Soup and Tropical Fruits, one of two creations developed specially for Singapore. The combination feels particularly fitting for our tropical climate, pairing creamy coconut with the bright, fruity character of guava and tropical fruits. It is a refreshing contrast to the richer chocolate and pastry components.

The experience is rounded off with freshly baked Vanilla Bean Scones and a Mango Brioche. The scones bring the familiar comfort of Afternoon Tea, while the mango brioche adds a more tropical interpretation with its buttery, soft crumb and fruity character.

Beyond the Afternoon Tea, guests can also get their hands on a collection of Chef Antonio Bachour’s signature cakes and pâtisserie creations. Highlights include the Singapore-exclusive Calamansi Yuzu Matcha Entremet (S$92 nett, whole), the second creation developed specially for Singapore. It brings together bright citrus notes from calamansi and yuzu with the earthy, slightly bitter depth of matcha, creating a combination that feels both distinctly modern and suited to local palates.

The Chocolate Berries Basket (S$92 nett, whole) takes a richer direction, pairing chocolate with the freshness and acidity of berries. For something lighter and fruit-forward, the Berry Shortcake (S$82 nett, whole) offers a familiar combination elevated with Bachour’s signature precision and presentation. The tropical theme continues with the Piña Colada (S$82 nett, whole), inspired by the flavours of the classic cocktail and transformed into an elegant pastry creation.

The selection also includes viennoiserie for those looking for something smaller. The Mascarpone Strawberry Bow Tie (S$10 nett) combines creamy mascarpone with strawberries in a beautifully laminated pastry. In comparison, the Pistachio Pain au Raisins (S$12 nett) puts a nutty spin on the classic French pastry, marrying pistachio with the familiar sweetness of raisins and buttery layers.

What makes this collaboration interesting is the way Chef Bachour’s distinctive pastry language has been adapted for Singapore. His creations are immediately recognisable for their immaculate finishes, intricate layering and playful combinations. Still, the inclusion of tropical ingredients such as calamansi, yuzu, guava, coconut and mango gives the collection a sense of place.

For pastry enthusiasts, the Afternoon Tea offers an opportunity to sample several of Bachour’s creations in one sitting, while the cakes and viennoiserie provide an option to bring some of that pastry artistry home.

You can order cakes and pastries online at shop.fullertonhotels.com, with delivery or self-collection available from The Fullerton Cake Boutique.

The Antonio Bachour collaboration is available for a limited time at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, so it’s worth checking out if you enjoy contemporary pâtisserie or simply want to experience Afternoon Tea with a more modern, pastry-forward twist.
