TWG @ MBS

Was looking for a place to enjoy a cup of tea and decide to drop by TWG at MBS. I won't say it was an ideal place to enjoy a quiet afternoon. MBS was so packed with people and all the TWG at MBS has a long queue.

 

Waited for more than half an hour before we finally got a table. I have to say this. The staff at TWG really need to improve their customer service if they really want their customer to be able to relax and enjoy their wonderful tea.

 

The service was slow. That is slow in taking orders, slow in delivery of the food, and even slow in collecting payment. No wonder all TWG has a long queue since they aced in providing slow service. Already been slow in their service, they will also tend to forget your order. Food was not delivered until you remind them about it. This doesn't happen to my table only. I saw another table that encountered the same problem. Something really needs to be done about their service.

 

Putting their service aside, their tea and food is really not bad. However, price wise, it's a bit costly. I don't mind eating there once in a while. Other wise, it will sure put a dent on my wallet, which is flat enough already. :p

This is their eggs benedict (S$19). It is served with homemade toasted English muffins topped with two poached farmhouse eggs served with creamy hollandaise sauce and a choice of smoked salmon or turkey ham. The picture shows the one with smoked salmon.

I definitely have a sweet tooth. How can I not order a dessert to make my day happy. This is chocolate fondant (S$12). It consists of TWG Tea’s warm chocolate cake served with a light custard cream and a scoop of homemade Vanilla Bourbon Tea ice cream.

This is the cake from 1837 Tea Time Set Meal (S$19). It is served with TWG Tea and a choice of 2 homemade scones or muffins served with TWG Tea jelly and whipped cream or 1 patisserie. Obviously we choose the patisserie over scones and muffins.

Our tea. Can't remember the name of this tea. The tea is from the tea time set meal. All I remember is hot water is refillable for up to three times for this tea.

There are so many types of tea available at TWG, all with very fancy name. We just pick a name that appeal to us. Lucky it tasted nice!

To be on the safe side, we ordered another pot of English Breakfast Tea. At least I know how it taste like by looking at the name itself. Haha... This is not refillable. Really suitable for only one person. I think we only manage to pour out three small cups of tea even though the pot looks big.
