36 high tea places in Singapore to savour fancy afternoon tea sets
2am:dessertbar

With a name that describes the feeling of being present and mindful of the current moment, unbothered by stress, the menu features a playful take on Japanese and Asian flavours and techniques such as miso pork and chicken dumplings wrapped like a candy bun in homemade red white skin.
