Arteastiq on Tuesday...

We were out again on Saturday to the ..

Mandarin Gallery

on Orchard Road

And found this beautiful tea cafe..

ARTEASTIQ

as you can see, the decor is

chic and pretty.

The cafe is part of a furniture shop and

it's parked in a comfortable corner facing the windows with a view..

the colors on these chairs looks yummy and they reminded me of the color of macaroons.

( I admit these chairs did inspire me to dot colors on my tags found here and here...;) )

Well, macaroons are not on the menu here but a nice selection of

  tea brewed differently.

I ordered Oolong with Lychee tea.

This is the perfect blend...light and refreshing...

served with coconut cookies

and food...oh my

we had apple cake, terriyaki chicken roll on indian crepe (called prata in Singapore),

top shell mango salad, crab salad on toast, turkey ham and smoked salmon

included in the set ..

The experience at ARTEASTIQ was delightful

and we'll certainly be back again.

PS:  If you would like to create this brew,
you could purchase canned Lychees (which is used in this recipe as well)
Canned lychees are commonly found in the asian supermarkets. 

Happy T Tuesday and do visit Kimmie for the list of
bloggers who shares their wonderful tea stories.

A matter of perspective....

"Once we conclude that the basic nature of humanity is compassionate

rather than aggressive, our relationship to the world around us changes immediately.

Seeing others as basically compassionate instead of hostile and selfish helps us relax, trust,

live at ease. It makes us happier."

The 14th Dalai Lama

Have a good week !!

Red and Green T on Tuesday!!

We were out window shopping at the

Orchard 313

on Sunday
and we couldn't resist

checking these out...

After much "deliberation" ;)) ,

we finally chose..

Uji greentea, strawberry and dafuku mochi waffle

with

Red Tea

The verdict?
Just the way I like it- not too sweet and the green tea waffle is delightful

afterwhich
we took a stroll along the Discovery Walk at 313

and Marche is right beside it.

It was like walking into a traditional swiss chalet...

 

and here's a warm hello from Marche's mascot

Happy Tea Tuesday Kimmie and everyone!!!
