Woobar @ W Hotel (Sentosa Cove)

I came across reviews about WOOBAR while googling "High Teas in Singapore" and thought that it's an interesting idea to have the savory delights served in a decorative bird cage :)

Since my mum and aunt had not been to Sentosa Cove before (it was only my 2nd time there), I brought them to WOOBAR for their high tea set :D

Outfit Of The Day/OOTD ★
Floral Dress (Forever 21)
Bejeweled Blazer (Forever 21)
Olivia Bag (Paul's Boutique)
SWDAISEY Thin Strap Sandals (Steve Madden)

Look at my eyes, 3 hours of sleep clearly isn't sufficient for me and not to mention I looked bloated after the high tea session.

Ambience: ★★★★☆
I chose the seats near the window so we could get a better view of the marina and hotel pool.


Though there weren't many customers, it is advisable to make a reservation as there are limited seats.

There were only 3 of us but the hostess recommended 2 sets (for 4 persons) but at the end of the high tea session, I felt that a set would be enough for us. I even had to take away some pastries home because we couldn't finish it :(



It was Christmas so they had some savory delights specially made for this season! ❄

Angel Cupcakes, Chocolate Log Cakes, Fruit Mince Pies

I wouldn't say that the mince pies and chocolate log cakes were impressive but I do like the angel cupcakes though I believe that we can bake it ourselves.



The highlight would be the three-tier exquisite silver decorative bird cage~

Top tier

I was expecting macarons to be on the top tier but they replaced it with star and crescent shaped hazelnut & cinnamon cookies for Christmas! Though I would prefer macarons to hazelnut & cinnamon cookies.....


Middle tier
Vanilla Cream Slice 
Crisp Pastry

Cranberry Scones
Strawberry Curd & Clotted Cream

The crisp pastry was one of my favourite though it's tad sweet. Nothing goes wrong with vanilla :) I like their plain cranberry scones paired with strawberry curd! I was never a fan of cream so I didn't pair it with the whipped clotted cream.

Lowest tier
Rich Baked Gruyere Tart 
Thyme Tomato Jelly

Foie Gras Ganache Tart 
Pot Wine, Gold Leaf

Toasted Bread
Drizzled with Olive Oil

Baked Ham Sandwich

For this tier, I like the baked gruyere tart, baked ham sandwich and toasted bread. For the gruyere tart, the cheese goes well with the tomato jelly. And who doesn't like ham sandwich?

I didn't like the foie gras ganache tart as the taste was too strong. Nevertheless, this tart deserves a solo picture  because I thought it's pretty with my favourite color GOLD :) 

The chef himself made the tuna tartare!

A complimentary drink from WOOBAR
If I'm not wrong, there's a mixture of oolong tea and passionfruit syrup~




Any recommendations for high tea? I love high tea  because it makes me relaxed and happy. Just sitting down with my loved ones and enjoying every moment.

My mum didn't want to take pictures with me because she said she didn't put on make up.

It was my birthday (14 December) and I really can't be more thankful than I already am because I get to celebrate this special day with my loved ones ♥ :)

He observed that my phone doesn't have long battery life so he got me something that will save my phone battery. I was thinking of portable charger but he refused to tell me because he wanted me to unwrap my present and be surprised :')

I almost teared when I unwrapped my present because I didn't expect this..... it also has my nickname engraved on it (my family calls me NANA). It's such a thoughtful present ♥


Continued our Project 22 (Gastronomia & Christmas trees) after dinner :)
We name it project 22 because we got together on 22nd so we plan to take pictures with 22 Christmas trees, eat 22 cakes from Gastronomia and we will start on a new project soon. We will then print pictures and paste it on our sketchbook :)

Some people might laugh and think that it's childish but as long as we are happy, nothing else matters  :D

Triple Chocolate Mousse from Gastronomia

The sisters ordered steak but my parents and I couldn't eat as it is against our religion to eat beef so we ordered other mains :)

With the sides Cavatappi Pasta, "Mac and Cheese" & Wild Field Mushrooms



"It's my birthday today! Do I get any surprise????????? :D", I jokingly asked the hostess. When our dessert (Valrhona Chocolate Soufflé, Creme Fraiche Cream, Caramalized White Chocolate Ice Cream) was served, the host gave me the "surprise" and I made my dad sing a birthday song!


★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

With my best friends ♥

A week before common tests, we already planned to visit Slappy Cakes together and few days before my birthday, we had lunch there!

Slappy Cakes is located in The Grandstand. They serve all-day breakfast and we can have DIY pancakes! OH, The Grandstand is such a cool place and it's so near to our school! Gotta go there more often :)

Our fixings: Crispy Bacon, Butter & Cheddar Cheese

The instagrammers :D


For the first batter, we chose whole grain *healthy* :D


Trying out the method from Food Hacks but our teddy bear failed.....



For the second batter, we chose peanut butter! Still prefer the whole grain :)










Thanks for the surprise treat girls! ♥ And the present is sooooooo cute!!!!!!!! (Donald Duck shirt I wore on my actual birthday and it will be shown in the next part of this post hehe)





★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

With my aunts and cousins ♥

Spent the actual day at my aunt's place in Katong :)

When I was a kid, we always celebrate birthdays at my aunt's place. We just made jellies, buy cakes, order pizzas and my aunt's helpers would cook food and snacks. Our mums would also dress us up and take pictures together... I really miss those days :'(

Durian and chocolate cakes :D

He had swollen lymph nodes under his jaw so his face was swollen but he still joined us at my aunt's place. ♥ you so much!!!


Couldn't get a proper picture because the pictures disappeared in my aunt's iPad :(




★ Birthday wishes (same every year) ★
My loved ones (including my dogs!) will be healthy and happy every day! :D
Street dogs from all around the world be safe and happy! :D
And WORLD PEACE v(^^)v!!!!!!!
