May 1, 2008 (Labor Day): It was a high tea many were looking forward to. Most remembered the Chinese New Year Lunch we had at the Equinox. The sashimi, the sushi, the happy waiters and the lau-hei (Chinese New Year fish salad tossed with vegetables and crisps), and the splendorous desserts...
This high tea offers the same atmosphere: Equinox is grand, bright and spacious. Located on the 72nd floor, it can't fail to impress with the panorama of the Singapore waterfront. I rate the high tea spread, though, as average, although the quality of ingredients scores well. But I don't take my high tea elsewhere, so I am probably not a fair evaluator. There are focaccia sandwiches, green salads, sushi (again, not as great as those served in the Chinese New Year lunch buffet), spaghetti, Chinese dessert soups, porridge, buffalo wings, taro-fingers, pizza...
My favorites are the taro and chicken wings. Most of my guests voted for the warm apple tart which they said was AWESOME! Alas, I was too filled up to relish it. The next time I go, I won't forget. But I will make sure I go for the lunch buffet. This is, after all, my second high tea, but nevertheless, remains a good experience.
