Sometimes, it is good to spend a little and indulge in luxury. With this, sharing our high tea experience at High Street Lounge. Located at Shangri-la, The Fort in BGC, a five-star luxury hotel.
High Street Lounge offers a luxurious and relaxed atmosphere, featuring high-ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, carpeted floors, and elegant interior.
For our high tea experience in High Street Lounge, we tried the two sets available: the regular Afternoon Experience and the seasonal Festive Afternoon Tea.
The Festive Afternoon Tea set includes freshly brewed tea or coffee, along with cocktails.
The high tea is served on a three-layer serving tower, which includes various bite sized snacks: scones on top layer, sandwiches on the middle layer and sweets on the bottom layer.
Similar to the Festive Afternoon set, the Afternoon Experience of High Street Lounge includes welcome drinks and your choice of coffee or tea. However the Afternoon Experience was not served on the usual serving tower. Instead, it was served trays, then the scones includes an ice cream lollipop and the sweets were Filipino-inspired.
For the sweets, my favorite was the turquoise-colored macaron with Davao dark chocolate ganache.
Lastly, the Afternoon Experience of High Street Lounge includes a glass of champagne.
Unfortunately, the service during our visit was very slow. They forgot to serve the Savoury section of this set despite several follow-ups. We were left with no choice but to take the sandwiches to-go. Aside from that, the high tea experience is unique and ideal if you are in BGC and looking for a place to enjoy a leisure afternoon tea in a high-end setting.
Recommendation: Reserve in advance and request for a table by the window.
