While enjoying all the comforts of air conditioning, diners get the alfresco treatment at the same! Bird cage-like structures serve as seating, which are nested amidst lush greenery. In the day, natural light pours in through the atrium skylight, bathing the space in a warm, welcoming glow. Talk about a back-to-nature afternoon tea session!

New Afternoon Tea at Portman's Bar @ PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay

As you might have inferred from its name, Singaporean flavours are the star of the Go Lokal afternoon tea set. The selection of sweets and savouries are curated by Pastry Chef Christopher Eng and his pastry team to incorporate familiar tastes of local cuisine like rojak and milo. Bringing home that dining-in-a-garden experience is Portman's Bar's signature picnic basket presentation.

Artfully displayed on the basket tray and on plates resembling Peranakan-style tiles are beautiful little treats. Savouries include Urban Farm's Fruit Rojak and Chicken Floss Sliders.
