TWG is an ideal place for chatting over tea and scones, but it's not very ideal for much else. Our family ordered three dishes and waited an hour for our food. The mini burgers arrived eventually, but the problem was with the other two dishes. The chicken we were served, after waiting for that long, was ****** and undercooked. After returning the chicken to the kitchen, it was, yet again, served undercooked. The salmon we ordered was raw as well. In the end we cancelled the two dishes and paid for the third. The only redeeming quality of that visit was how the staff managed the incident. We ordered three macarons while waiting for the food, and we were not asked to pay for them. The management really was apologetic, but I doubt my family will be retiring any time soon. (Except maybe for tea)

TWG is a good place to just drink tea and rest. My friends and I just stumbled here on a late afternoon since we want to chill and drink something. TWG offers great variety of tea so we asked the server to recommend for afternoon tea (addressing sleepiness). We got the Rose Zephyr Tea which is very aromatic and strong. It is a good combination with the dessert. Will visit again if we want tea. :)

Ending our day with the refreshing 1837 green tea???? i super love its fruity blend that leaves an aftertaste of sweet fruits. The aroma was so relaxing that makes me want to sleep after. I also ordered crepe and macarons. Crepe is good but nothing special. However, I will come back to try other teas. The place is awesome????????????
