Cassia is a modern chinese restaurant in a colonial building that reflects a sophisticated interior with lush fabrics and a unique blend of warm and cool tones.
Cassia offers both Asian and Western type of afternoon tea (Dim Sum Afternoon Tea and English Afternoon Tea) so you can have the chance to try out 2 different types of high tea. (This only applies to Weekend)
We chose to have the English Afternoon Tea this round at Cassia and will definitely be back again to try the Dim Sum Afternoon Tea.
Capella Singapore
Quiet and Beautiful Capella in a colonial building
The vibrant lobby to Cassia upstairs. The aircon here is much cooling than Cassia..
If there is no one at the reception here, take the flight of stairs up to Cassia on the right..
This is what you will see when you first enter the restaurant...Modern Oriental settings ...
Love this elegant seat so much!
The seating at Cassia is very nice but they're too low and a bit cramp under the table so not very comfy to sit long if 2 persons sit at the sofa together.
Love the relax and cosy ambience here!
There's a small private dining room behind this partition.
And this is how it looks like - Intimate 6-seater dining...
White Tea (Aromatized tea with Iris, Blue Lily and Orange Blossom) and Marco Polo (Scented black tea with Lychee and Rose)
Do note that the tea is refillable and they do not serve tea in a pot here. But the staff will take note of every table and come to refill your cup of tea regularly. We chose the White Tea (Aromatized tea with Iris, Blue Lily and Orange Blossom) and Marco Polo (Scented black tea with Lychee and Rose). The white tea tastes lighter with orange scent while the marco polo tea is slightly stronger with rose scent and we both preferred the Marco Polo.. :)
English Afternoon Tea
They served the clotted cream and jam for the scone with some strawberries..
Top Tier: From left to right - Horseradish Salmon Sandwich with Salmon Caviar (My Most Favourite!), Egg Croissant Toast, Salmon Burrito with Olive Oil Caviar, Cream Cheese with Pesto, Fresh Tomato & Cheese Lavosh
Second Tier: From left to right: Passion Fruit Macaroon, Cranberry Scone, Green Tea Pound Cake (My Most Favourite - It was very aromatic!)
Bottom Tier: From left to right: Lemon Tart Meringue (My Most Favourite!) , Chocolate Pastry Cream Eclair, Fruit Tart, Opera Cake
Oriental Dim Sum Afternoon Tea
I have to rave about the English Afternoon Tea here - This was one of the BEST that we had! We enjoyed every single item as they were all very high quality, really nothing to complain about.
Just that we were a little unhappy about their service at the initial stage - We were the first to arrive and order for the afternoon tea before the next 2 tables arrived but we were the last to receive the 3-tier set which made us feel we were treated unfairly. Other than this incident, the service was very good, our tea was refilled regularly.
Remember to leave the restaurant by this outdoor terrace to overlook verdant gardens and the distant city.
*Highly Recommended*
