Head Chef Chris Lee, whose illustrious pastry background includes stints at Tea Palace and The Patissier, delivers a refined spread that balances sweet and savoury with modern flair.
Among the savouries, the Harissa Salmon Kueh Pie Tee is an instant standout. Visually arresting and deliciously inventive, this elegant twist on the local classic swaps out the traditional radish filling for smoky harissa salmon, making each bite a burst of spice and umami.
Equally satisfying is the Chicken Morel Cream Pie, a warm and hearty option with a luxurious, earthy richness that feels far more substantial than your typical high tea bite.
The sweet offerings are where Chef Lee’s pastry pedigree truly shines. The Green Tea Tiramisu is a gentle, aromatic take on the Italian classic, while the Jasmine Chrysanthemum Bavarian Cream Cake offers a delicate floral finish that lingers on the palate.
The Waffle with Milk Tea Ice Cream, served as the final course, ends the afternoon on a truly sweet note. Crispy, warm, and comforting, it is paired with a scoop of creamy ice cream infused with the familiar flavours of milk tea.
Throughout the experience, the subtle infusion of teas – from jasmine to green and beyond – adds a cohesive and refreshing theme, making each item feel like part of a larger, well-composed narrative. Paired with free-flow coffee or a selection of quality teas, this is the kind of afternoon escape that feels like a luxurious indulgence, without the actual splurge.
Sky22 is located at 99 Irrawaddy Rd, Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena, Level 22, Singapore 329568. High Tea for Two is available daily, from 3pm to 5pm at S$48++ for two persons. Make your reservations here.
