We tried the Deluxe high tea set.

I started from the bottom plate which had the heavier items, then moved on to the second plate which was salads, and then the sweet selection.

Bottom plate:

Barbequed Jumbo River Prawns
Before I ate them, I could already smell them, the texture of the prawns were nice and springy.
Crispy Rice Crackers
The rice crackers were really nice and crispy, it was light and had minced prawns on top with a hint of lemongrass.
Chicken in Pandan Leaves
The chicken was really tender and tasted really nice with the sauces provided.

Middle plate:

Pomelo Salad with Crab Meat
The pomelo salad was really refreshing with pieces of delicate crab, there were lots of grated coconut in it too which made it really fruity and fragrant.
Spicy Prawn Salad with Green Mango
This was quite spicy but the green mango balanced it out.
Soft Shell Crab Rice Paper Rolls
The crab was nice balanced by the salad leaves in the wrap.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Top plate:

Sago Pudding with Coconut Cream:
It had bits of taro, sago and sweetcorn and the sweetness was just right.
Thai Pandan Layer Cake
The pandan taste was nice and strong and the sweetness was soothing.
Mango Cheesecake
For those who do not like cheesecake, you can change it to sticky rice with mango, but the sticky rice goes hard after it cools down which is why it is Mango cheesecase by default as the sweet platter is eaten last.
Personally I really liked the cheesecake here and a lot of people will like it too because the texture was soft like mousse and light.

Lychee smash:

I loved this because it was refreshing and it had a hint of lime and mint.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sticky rice with mango:

The ones I have tried before are purple rice so this was quite different as it was white glutinous rice.
I felt that it tasted better because it was not so heavy and it was warm and soft.

Lychee homemade icecream:

This was interesting because usually you get Lychee sorbets, the taste in icecream form was interesting.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mango homemade icecream:

The taste was a bit milky.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coconut homemade icecream:

This was my favourite because the coconut taste was strong and had natural with bits of coconut in it.
