No one makes financiers like Henri Charpentier, so it's exciting that the French-inspired Japanese patisserie is launching a limited-time high tea set including the iconic financiers and more best-selling desserts. This experience is part of Henri Charpentier's five-day pop-up at Madame on 69 Tras Street from 9 to 13 October to mark the brand's 10th anniversary in Singapore. Rounding up the event is an exclusive workshop, limited-edition gift sets and even a free cake!
Salon de Thé - High Tea Experience

Served on a classic tiered stand, the Henri Charpentier High Tea comes with the most well-loved cakes and pastries balanced with savoury treats. Start with the smooth and rich Smoked Salmon & Caviar Blini, the piquant Truffle Mushroom Tartlet with Crispy Leek, and the satisfyingly crunchy Pumpkin Arancini with Prosciutto & Hazelnut. Refresh your palate with the pretty Terrine de Fruits. After that, savour a trio of deceptively simple cakes that hit the spot - The Shortcake, Double Cheesecake and Coeur Rouge. Of course, there will also be the well-loved and iconic Financier as well as assorted mini baked sweets.
These nibbles can be enjoyed with a free flow of champagne, wines, cocktails, mocktails, tea or coffee.
Ending this indulgent affair is a photo-worthy spectacle - the famous Crêpe Suzette that will be flambéed at the table with Grand Marnier.

Light and soft with crispy edges, the delicate crepe is drenched in a delicious caramelised sauce with refreshing circus notes and a boozy aftertaste.
