Xmas at Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge

Spent Xmas with Teddy at Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge (within Takashimaya Shopping Centre) having a peaceful and delicious tea there. The queue became quite a wait as I noticed it built up after we got our seats. Lucky us ! We also manage to get a window view of the Orchard Road.

The decor at the lounge was elegant and lovely. At the entrance of the lounge were some beautiful flowers. I like it so much that I could not resist some pictures of it !


Walking inside the lounge, the place was cosy and surprisingly a little noisy with the diners all chatting away in different languages and accents. Japanese, English, Koreans and Chinese. Many different mixes of people there.

The side wall were lined with the fine pieces of the Royal Copenhagen dining ware. Hmmm, what a a beautiful sight! Each meal on every table was also served with the fine Royal Copenhagen dining ware and cutleries. Admiring the cutleries and dining ware was already well worth the time spent there ...
Teddy had his coffee served in a nice R.C Year 2002 coffee cup. We also ordered the Roasted Mushroom Soup and Salmon Platter to try. (** These were chef's recommendation on the menu) Found the Roasted Mushroom Soup a little too roasted and nutty for my taste. The ingredients added to the soup were interesting. Think it includes small tomato or carrot dices making the soup crunchy to slurp!

Somehow I like the Salmon Platter better. 3 salmon slices rolled with turnips and another 3 smoked salmon slices set on top of potato slices. Served with plenty of greens, herbs and garnishes. Tasting light and refreshing for a beautiful sunny afternoon! It was indeed a wonderful tea at a lovely place for a merry christmas day!
