Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre High Tea Set at Hari’s Lobby Lounge & Bar
Located next to the hotel lobby, Hari’s Lobby Lounge & Bar, with its high ceilings and view of glass chandeliers, a mix of old style charm and relaxing vibes. The establishment serves afternoon tea sets and, for the months of August and September 2025, it will be rolling out a special high tea set to celebrate Singapore’s birthday.
The SG Sweet 60 High Tea Set features a mix of sweet and savoury bites that draw on well-known Singapore flavours but given a twist to excite the palate.

Box of Edible Wonders
Arriving in a wooden box, the SG Sweet 60 High Tea Set is intended for sharing. Priced at $60 with portions for two persons, it invites diners to reach inside and discover tastes and flavours that will tickle and tantalise.
Our first impression of the high tea set was how packed full it was. With two shelves full of meticulously arranged treats, we almost didn’t know where to start.
There are both cold and hot selections, along with sweets, in the special SG60 high tea set.
Amongst the cold selections were the Kueh Pie Tee with Marinated Baby Lobster and the Lobster and Crab Mayo in Brioche Bread.
However, what we especially enjoyed was the Fruit Rojak in Mini Cone. This was a mini red ice cream cone packed with rojak for a familiar but yet novel bite.
The hot selection included a Grilled Chicken Satay with Condiments, conveniently presented in a glass. We were surprised to find chunks of pineapple in the satay sauce, which gave it a nice tart bite.
The MOMO Nasi Lemak Wrapped was another innovative creation. Looking like a mini popiah wrapped up in a pandan leaf, it actually hid a bite of rice with sambal and was topped off with a quail’s egg and cashew nut.
The Singapore Chilli Crab “Black Bomb” with Ebiko was another surprise.
The crust was light and fluffy and inside was a burst of chilli crab flavour.
Sweets
Afternoon tea would not be complete with some sweet treats and there was definitely an ample selection as part of the high tea set.
Specially created SG60 macarons along with white chocolate creations in the form of a Merlion and Vanda Ms Joaquim orchids gave the set a National Day flair.
Chendol with Gula Melaka Panna Cotta was an East-meets-West pairing that worked very well. We also enjoyed the Raspberry Creme Brulee with Pistachio Biscotti.
Another nod to local flavours was the Baked Orh Nee Tart.
An indulgent treat that we loved was the Golden Musang King Pengat in Chocolate Cup.
The chilled Mango, Pomelo and Peach Gum Soup was another combination that worked really well. It felt like it was a dessert to chase down all the other sweets that we already had.
