High tea at Cova Pasticceria at Paragon Shopping Centre

Interestingly, just a day after editing Peiying's article on high tea venues in Singapore, The Boyfriend suggested that we meet up for high tea (he didn't know that the article was in the pipeline). And we went to Cova Pasticceria at Paragon (which is also featured in the article). There are both indoors and semi-alfresco seating. (Semi-alfresco as in outside the restaurant, no ceiling, but still indoors).

Five different tea sets were available and we opted for the Imperial (at $20) and Royal (at $22) sets. My BFF came over to meet us too and opted for what I believe to be a basic set (at $14).

It was a treat for the sweet-tooth (which we weren't). I think the pastries were great, the sandwiches were fine, but the cakes were a little too sweet for my liking. I think the next time round, we'll go for the Royal set and Classic set (comprising of a selection of sandwiches).

With every set, you get to choose from a selection of fruit juice, tea and coffee. I went for the Assam.

We had lots of fun overall because the ambience was serene yet non-intimidating. The servers smile all the time, which set a relaxed and joyful mood to the place.

The Boyfriend and I have made a resolution to go for a dim sum buffet next. Can't wait!
