Step into a world where strawberries reign supreme, as the Blushing Strawberry Afternoon Tea returns to Conrad Centennial Singapore. From 7 January to 30 April 2025, the Lobby Lounge transforms into a haven of strawberry-inspired indulgence, where the finest Japanese strawberries—with their blush-pink allure and unparalleled sweetness—take centre stage in a menu that is as artful as it is delicious.
As you settle into the opulent ambience of the Lobby Lounge, complete with its iconic 24-carat gold leaf ceiling, you’re greeted with a refreshing glass of Blushing Pink Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wine, its delicate fizz accentuated by a floating slice of fresh strawberry. This sparkling welcome sets the tone for a culinary journey that masterfully showcases the versatility of strawberries in both sweet and savoury delights.
A Symphony Of Sweets
The sweet offerings are a testament to the pastry chefs’ creativity and passion. Start your adventure with the Classic Strawberry Shortcake, a cloud-like confection of airy sponge cake, luscious Hokkaido whipped cream, and juicy strawberries. For something with a sophisticated edge, the Earl Grey Strawberry Mousse will delight your palate with its 48-hour steeped tea layers, wild strawberry compote, and hazelnut sponge.
Cheesecake enthusiasts will swoon over the Fromage Blanc Strawberry Cheesecake, a creamy, tangy delight, while the Almond Strawberry Tart offers a medley of almond cream, strawberry marmalade, and vanilla ganache that’s almost too beautiful to eat. And if indulgence is what you seek, strawberries dipped in Valrhona chocolate provide the ultimate treat—each bite a perfect harmony of tart and velvety richness.
Savoury Elegance
The savoury selection takes the strawberry theme to imaginative new heights. Who could resist the bold flavours of Strawberry Glazed Foie Gras, where foie gras praline meets smoked chocolate ganache atop a sable base? Equally divine is the Flamed Diver Scallop, paired with tara, pani puri, and marinated roe—a creative blend of textures and flavours.
For those who prefer a more classic approach, there’s the Iberico Croquette, enlivened by pickled strawberries and truffle mayonnaise, alongside dainty finger sandwiches filled with Parisian ham, Comté cheese, and asparagus or cucumber with burnt carrot cream. These savoury delights perfectly balance the sweetness of the strawberry-forward menu.
No afternoon tea would be complete without warm, freshly baked scones. The scones are reimagined with strawberry and raisin variations, served with dollops of clotted cream and homemade wild strawberry jam. Each bite is a comforting embrace, elevating the experience to new heights of decadence.
Sip, Savour, And Celebrate
Complementing this feast is a two-hour free-flow selection of TWG Tea or Bacha Coffee, ensuring every guest finds their perfect pairing for this strawberry symphony. The Lobby Lounge’s tranquil atmosphere and elegant design make it the ideal setting for a leisurely afternoon escape or a special celebration.
The Blushing Strawberry Afternoon Tea is available daily, with two seatings at 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM or 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, and is priced at $55++ per person.
Whether you’re a strawberry lover, or simply searching for a whimsical escape, the Blushing Strawberry Afternoon Tea promises a sensory delight that lingers long after the last bite.
