Lipton's World-First Pop-Up High Tea Bar @ Plaza Singapura

For a limited period from 16 to 21 April 2013, Lipton the largest tea brand in the world, brings to you the world-first pop-up High Tea Bar in Singapore. The High Tea Bar is located at Plaza Singapura Main Atrium at Level 1. Lipton has also collaborated with Canele Executive Pastry Chef Mr. Christophe Grilo and Unilever Food Technologist, Ms Wong May Chee customising 3 High Tea Sets specially for the Lipton High Tea Bar.

The 182 square metres pop-up High Tea Bar in all offers 6 tea sets paired with Canele Patisserie Chocolaterie sweet and savoury items. Each set is classified under a mood and customers can select their desired High Tea Tea Set based on their mood of the day. The six high tea sets are,

- Liption Forest Fruit Tea with Chicken Mini Burger (Indulge)
- Lipton Citrus Tea with Traditional Salmon and Cucumber Sandwich (Adventurous)

Among the 6 high tea pairing sets, my favourite is the Lipton Blue Fruit Tea with Cheesecake (Refresh). The fruity scent of blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry and raspberry goes perfectly with the velvety smoothy vanilla cheesecake made with fresh and luscious cream cheese on a sweet crumble base. The Lipton Blue Fruit Tea seems to have a harmonious combination with the cheesecake, enhancing the aroma and body of the tea, uplifting the enjoyment.

From 16 to 21 April 2013, members of the public can redeem and enjoy a complimentary High Tea set with a minimum spending of S$25 at Plaza Singapura or a purchase of S$15 worth of Lipton products at the Lipton High Tea Bar.

SPR MRKT @ Mccallum Street (Telok Ayer)

Established in 2012, SPR MRKT is a lifestyle food, retail and art space in the heart of the CBD at the enclave of Telok Ayer area. The self-service bistro and concept shop has collaborated with Urban landscape architect cum photographer Mr Akai Chew Hung Kai on his first art showcase featuring 2 main themes, Fine Art in Architecture and Fashion from 6 April 2013.

Mr Akai's art pieces can be enjoyed around the bistro in a relax and chill atmosphere while sipping a cup of coffee or indulging in the delectable food at SPR MRKT.

Here is a photo of Mr Akai Chew himself giving a brief speech for his Art launch at SPR MRKT.

Some finger foods were also served but there were not SPR MRKT regular items from the menu. Actually I am interested to come back for the food at SPR MRKT after knowing that the kitchen is helm by Chef-owner Joseph who has spent his formative culinary years with Les Amis Group  of Restaurants and Waku Ghin. Even Pastry Chef Furrence Hoh has also worked in some top hotels and restaurants for over 10 years. I look forward to my next visit at SPR MRKT and do keep a look out for the review.
