TWG Tea Company, Singapore

-
TWG Tea Company was established here in Singapore and the funny thing is, the first time I finally went to try it was during my sister's recent visit as she agreed to meet up with her college buddy R for an after-dinner night cap. Being the protective sister that I was, I just can't leave her alone so I insisted to tag along whether they like it or not. Well... another reason is because I was dying to finally try TWG too! *evil laugh*

So, we got there an hour and a half before their ION Orchard branch closes. We promised the server that we will be quick and we just want to have some tea and cakes. Look how pretty the store is! The entrance is lined with the wide array of TWG flavors available on one side and a long line of pretty colorful macarons on the other. Oh, this is such a pretty, dainty place for a girly catch-up.

As soon as R arrived, we wasted no time in ordering our desserts and drinks. They had a rather complex menu of tea blends and sensing our confusion, our friendly server guided us through. First, he asked if we wanted something fruity, floral, nutty and so on. After giving him our preferences, he continued to give suggestions on what he thinks we would like. Each pot starts at S$11 and sadly, they don't encourage sharing. Our server suggested that I try the Silver Moon Tea which I've been hearing a lot about. I know that this is one of TWG's more popular tea blends and I instantly knew why after taking my first sip. It had a light green tea base with strawberry-infused flavor notes. It was really yummy and perfect as a dessert tea. I happily shared my tea with Pan and R who liked it very much too.

Of course, what's a tea time catch up without cakes right? TWG has this pretty dessert cart where you can choose which slice to get. Since we couldn't decide which one to get, then we agreed to just get one each and to share.

So, our first choice was the Raspberry Tart which I love love love! Pan and I fell in love with it the moment we both saw it. This was indeed a good choice as we enjoyed this light fruity dessert that perfectly matched our cups of tea. The custard filling was creamy yet light, the tart crust had a good crunchy bite and the fruits on top just sealed the deal perfectly.

We also tried the Matcha Mousse which was a sponge-y cake covered with a raspberry-like jelly coating. I have to admit that after falling in love with the Raspberry Tart, this was just a-okay for me.

Lastly, we had the Singapore Surprise which ... well blew us by surprise! Imagine a simple looking tart that actually has a delicious creme brulee top and filled with custard cream and strawberry. It was pretty good as I love anything like creme brulee. 

I had fun tagging along Pan and R's quick Singapore catch-up. :) Well they did most of the talking while I took care of the eating and drinking. Haha! Will definitely be back for more cups of tea and cakes at TWG!

I just wonder why TWG in Singapore always has two branches per venue. Anyone knows the answer? 

TWG Tea Company is located at ION Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn, #01-29 Singapore 238801. Call them at 6463-1837. They also have another branch at the 2nd level of ION Orchard, in Marina Bay Sands, Takashimaya Department Store and in Republic Plaza.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
