Embark on a Luxurious Culinary Voyage: The Peranakan Afternoon Tea Returns to Four Seasons Hotel Singapore

Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Singapore’s bustling cityscape, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore beckons discerning travellers and epicurean enthusiasts to indulge in an exquisite journey of taste and tradition. As the sun begins its descent, the elegant ambience of One-Ninety Bar transforms into a sanctuary of refined luxury, ready to welcome guests to an unparalleled gastronomic experience – the much-anticipated return of the Peranakan Afternoon Tea.

A Fusion of Heritage and Elegance

In a celebration of Singapore’s rich cultural tapestry, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore proudly collaborates with the world’s first Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant, Candlenut, to present a culinary masterpiece that seamlessly weaves together tradition and modern luxury. Building upon the resounding success of their partnership in 2021, this year’s Peranakan Afternoon Tea promises an elevated gastronomic affair, curated by the culinary maestros of Four Seasons Hotel Singapore and Chef-Owner Malcolm Lee of Candlenut fame.

Savouring the Delights of Nyonya Cuisine

From the Hotel, Executive Pastry Chef Audrey Yee delights with her rendition of Peranakan sweets, serving up a delightful Kaya Coconut Cake, Cempedak Crème Brûlée and Pulut Hitam rice pudding dessert made of black glutinous rice and coconut milk, and not forgetting Chef Yee’s freshly baked Rempah Udang scones that are accompanied by a house-made pineapple jam and clotted cream.

On the savoury side, guests can look forward to Chef Lee’s Mom’s Chicken Curry with Prata, the dish that sparked Chef’s culinary journey and a treasured family heirloom recipe that has been passed down from one generation to the next; an enduring favourite since Candlenut started its journey back in 2010. Other highlights include Boston Lobster with Achar Bun, King Salmon Otak and Chef Lee’s Laksa Crab Cake, inspired by the local Laksa dish, where Chef combines the rich and spicy gravy with shredded blue swimmer crab, deep-fried till golden brown.

Crafted Libations Inspired by Tradition

The journey continues with a trio of locally-inspired craft cocktails by Beverage Manager Gabriel Carlos and Head Bartender Sophia Kang. Chendol is a captivating cocktail that transforms the beloved traditional Chendol dessert into a spirited delight, delivering an innovative libation that pays homage to the classic flavours of Chendol and is reminiscent of Kang’s Korean heritage growing up with Bingsu, a Korean shaved ice dessert. It’s a harmonious blend of velvety coconut cream, Engenho da Vertente Cachaça, Koko Kanu coconut rum, azuki red beans, lime juice and pandan. Crowned with vibrant green pandan jelly strands, this cocktail delivers refreshing, sweet, and slightly savoury notes to the palate.

Made with Ocho Blanco tequila, pink guava, makrut lime leaves, white cardamom, jasmine and soy milk, the Little Nyonya is a perfectly sweet weekend afternoon libation to sip on. Alternatively, the Straits Old Fashioned with Michter’s American whiskey, coconut ginger, spices and lime bitters is an innovative take on the classic, but a timeless one to indulge in.

Alternatively, for bubbly lovers, a Taittinger champagne-tasting flight is available for those keen on embarking on a journey of effervescence to celebrate the weekend.

Complete the afternoon with the Candlenut signature tea blend – an exquisite blend of oolong and butterfly pea flower with fragrant notes of jasmine and pandan, a fine selection of specialty teas or coffee freshly brewed.
