MERRIMENT TEA SET

If you have been good about staying in for most of the year, head out for a Christmas treat. Try the Classic Afternoon Tea at The Lobby Lounge (InterContinental Singapore, Tel: 6825-1131). The Merriment set (from $98 for two) has highlights such as a tree-shaped chocolate mousse with mango passion fruit compote, panettone with apricot jam and kirsch-soaked morello cherry as well as candied chestnut Mont Blanc tart, all served in one of the most beautiful hotel lobbies.
