Located somewhere in front of orchard's 2nd floor entrance, it is hard to miss TWG Salon & Boutique as there is always a long queue of people waiting eagerly for tables. One morning, when I passed by the place, the queue had not started, hence, filled with curiosity, I quickly grabbed hold of the chance to solve the mystery behind the usual long queues.
We were greated by towering shelves with large yellow bottles of tea leaves. The salon has a classic and exquisite design which sets you in the mood to relax and enjoy your tea and scones.
They have a separate menu from lunch for breakfast, which is sadly more limited in term of choices. We ordered Singapore & New York Breakfast Set, which each came with a selection of tea, fruit juice, scones or muffin and eggs.

| Pu Erh & Mediterranean Breakfast Tea |
I have always liked the aroma of breakfast tea, makes you want to start your day feeling refreshed, but I find the Pu Erh lacks fragrance.

| New York Breakfast |
I particularly like the jelly like marmalade for the scones. I was too busy eating, I forgot to snap photos of it oops... Not much of a fan of Singapore breakfast's eggs though, I think it was poached eggs with olive oil, simple... but I just didn't quite like the taste. The New York set's egg sandwich seemed more appetising.
Price is on the high side and service is slow even when there was only a handful of customers around. Not quite sure why it always attract such a big crowd, perhaps I am not a tea connoisseur, therefore I have not been able to fully appreciate the tea? Haha... But it is certainly a fancy and comfortable place to have hi-tea and chat with friends.
