Gelato First, Thai Feast Later: My Orchard Road Food Stop

Friday The 13th at Orchard My husband and I were in the Orchard area for The Friends Experience at the Fever Exhibition Hall, and instead of eating first, we decided to enjoy the experience before thinking about food. After the exhibition, the warm evening left us a little thirsty, so we looked for something refreshing nearby. That’s when we spotted Gelatissimo , a small kiosk just outside Shaw House. We grabbed a couple of scoops of gelato and enjoyed them at the al-fresco seating while people-watching along the always lively Orchard Road. After that, we took a leisure walk through ION Orchard before making our way to Far East Plaza, where we ended the evening with a comforting Thai dinner at Nana Original Thai Food Restaurant in the basement. Gelatissimo outside Shaw House First Stop: Gelatissimo Our first food stop was at Gelatissimo, where we decided to share two scoops of gelato as a refreshing treat after the exhibition. We picked a mix of Dragonfruit Sorbet and Raspberry Gelat...

Tea Time at TWG

Christmas is round the corner.  Orchard is filled with Christmas mood everywhere.
Finally I am having an afternoon tea with my fren at TWG Ion Orchard on a Saturday afternoon.  
Woohoo... Love it so much!  Waited for about 15-20mins before we get a seat. Ordered 2 tea time sets, Sublime and Majesty.
I was so into the teapot while q-ing outside.  Nice right?  They sell teapots and accessories... Wow... So fascinating!  I ordered black tea.  Was recommended with Nuwara Eliya OP, a light one.  I don't really know how to appreciate tea but I do know what I like.  Just tat bits of sugar to my tea, it is just so perfect!  Without adding, it tastes so natural too... I love black tea. 
She is having a good taste of the tea for don't know x-time.  Orange tea, am I right?  Nice pose from her too.... Thumbs up!
Oh man... Look at that!  I simply love the display of that bottles of .... tea?  Or I should say is tin of tea?  Look at that BIG 'Creme Caramel' tea... Can I bring one home?  Ohhhh......
That is mine!!!!  Sublime set.  2 tiers but is just nice.  I realized that there is a slight difference in the tea time menu which is from 3pm - 6pm.  I did my research before coming.  Actually at Ion Orchard, there is 2 TWG.  1 at Level 2, which is larger shop and the other at Level 1, where I had my tea at.  Nevertheless, so long as it is nice, I'm okay... 
And that's both Sublime and Majesty set.  Difference of them is that Majesty set has 3 tiers, top tier is chocolate.  Got to taste the cheesecake of which my fren choose. Taste nice.  For mine, it is so berry.... Woohoo... Raspberry!  
If you have realised, there is few layers in the cake.  So sweet.  Mama Mia...  And there is a total of 3 one sided macarons though you may see just 2.  Added to the sweetness... Gosh!
Finally is finishing this!  Petite but just right the size for tea.  Guess what?  One of them had foie gras in it.  The other is salmon... Best!
I just can't forget the taste.  So I bought a pack of teabags home.... Cost me $23 for 15 teabags. Wow!
I like their simple yet elegant packaging.  Hmm... I will go back to TWG Tea Company... For tea of course.  And also try other places for a nice afternoon tea.  *Muackz*
