Eggs benedict from TWG Tea

If an intimate tete-a-tete is what you are after, TWG Tea invites you to enjoy breakfast with a friend for $19++. Get the day off to a fine start with your choice of hearty egg dishes such as Eggs benedict, eggs l’Americaine, farmhouse eggs, or the Hispanic omelette.

Saveur Art

Or perhaps it is time to savour some joie de vivre by treating your partner to an unhurried, leisurely meal with Saveur Art’s three-course set menu composed of French bistro classics, including duck confit and beef bourguignon, priced at $45.90++ for two.

Weaved into this gastronomic fete is the Signature Indulgences event, a series of curated dinners at three exceptional dining establishments—Taste Paradise, Imperial Treasure and TWG Tea—held in collaboration with Singapore Tatler Dining. These menus showcase signatures from the restaurants’ menus, reinventions and fresh additions specially designed for the occasion.

 

Imperial Treasure

In addition, this is an ideal opportunity to explore ION Orchard’s range of luxury dining restaurants for any occasion. Whether it is to sample fine Cantonese and contemporary Chinese cuisine from one of Singapore’s Top 10 Chinese Restaurants at Taste Paradise, appreciate the chefs’ skill and attention to detail at Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine or taste TWG Tea’s innovative take on refined French fare incorporating some of the world’s finest luxury teas. There is even the option to savour some breathtaking 360-degree views over a meal at Salt Grill & Sky Bar by Luke Mangan. And perhaps spoil yourself further at luxury Belgian chocolate brand GODIVA, which recently opened their first lifestyle cafe in Southeast Asia at ION Orchard, serving exclusive treats, from sundaes, chocolate fondue sets and Belgium waffle with soft serve to its signature cakes.
