Raffles Hotel

Last year, I stayed with five others in Singapore. Four of my travelling companions had already been to the Raffles (years ago) and said that it had been a good experience – an English High Tea, the pleasant surrounds and the history involved.
However when we went this time around, the meal was overprice, and we were given a choice of smorgasbord which consisted mostly of snacks targeted at the Asian tourists who are becoming so frequent in Singapore. Together we paid $175 for the meal, and between us probably managed four plates of food (two each for the resident gannets who would eat anything; very little for the rest of us).
However after the High Tea, we went upstairs to the bar and drank outside on the balcony, which slightly lessened the horror. Alcohol on the empty stomach ensued that we came away with the disappointment of the experience dimmed, but it was not forgotten.

Nice to have a Singapore Sling in the place that it was invented. I had mine in the Palm Court.
