A brightly lit salon de thé in the swish Marriot Marquis, this beautiful space is like a cross between a grown-up candy store, patisserie, and a casual bistro, serving a sophisticated high tea with sweets, fresh bakes, and a selection of hot Thai plates to satisfy any craving throughout the day. Breakfast here may feature thick toast slathered with a pandan and coconut custard, or fluffy hot cakes drizzled with coconut syrup and filled with cloud-like swirls of ricotta cream cheese.

For something with a more local touch, there’s toast with spicy pork mince and Thai fried eggs, or chargrilled skewered pork served with a sticky, tangy tamarind dip. Around lunch, settle down to a bowl of noodles, everything from the classic Tom Yum Goong to rice noodles in a rich braised beef sauce. Daylong, sweets like Panna Cotta Char Thai, a wobbly pudding made from Thai tea leaves, or banana fritters served with ice cream are the perfect accompaniment to this teahouse’s stellar selection of imported tea leaves. For a change of pace from the usual high tea offerings, settle down to an elegant afternoon tea at the Marriot Marquis that’s replete with rich Thai flavours and the best the region has to offer.
