Think “high tea”, and our minds will likely go to fancy restaurants that will leave us with a hefty bill for a light meal. However, this is definitely not the case for the newly opened Teahouse 1973 café in Aljunied.
With a delectable high tea set for 2 at only $35, you can treat your BFF or bae to an atas dining experience on a budget.
According to a post in the 走,新加坡 Facebook group, netizen Ms Cheah shared that her experience at Teahouse 1973 was nothing but exceptional.
This beautiful slice of cake, among a variety of others pastries served beautifully on a regal looking cake stand, would be perfect for an afternoon snack.
The gleaming cutlery with gold lining certainly add a touch of royalty so you can imagine dining in a palace far from here.
Teahouse 1973’s menu states that the High Tea Set includes fresh homemade cakes and a pot of fruit tea, which you and your BFF or SO can share.
The set is only available from 2pm – 5pm on Tuesdays and Fridays, so make sure to check the date before heading there.
Before you think that the limited offer is their only draw, Ms Cheah shares another perk of dining at Teahouse 1973 — no GST or service charge.
Besides giving the establishment’s service, food and interior a 5 whooping stars, Ms Cheah claims that GST wasn’t imposed on their meal. She even shared her receipt as proof.
No frills, no GST, and great food to boot.
If you aren’t in the mood for high tea, Teahouse 1973 also serves up authentic Penang dishes.
