Renku bar offers some interesting cocktails but unfortunately some were not available. We had Fly me to the Moon which tasted a little bit like a kaya drink.

The cake has generous amount of mangos.

Thought this was going to be expensive considering the location but $5.00++ did not hurt the wallet so bad considering how I ordered this pretty much without looking at the price tag. Thought the choux pastry was a well-executed one considering how the pastry was light and crisp on the exterior. Much of the pastry is filled with a smooth and luscious chocolate mousse within, whilst topped off with and aromatic vanilla mousse over the top; a sponge cake soaked in coffee is hidden somewhere in the middle — a surprise element that brings the "tiramisu" into this dessert whilst dusted with chocolate powder over the top. Though the pastry was pretty much on point, the cream puff felt a little remote from being an item that replicates the classic Italian dessert, especially considering how the chocolate seemed to be the most dominant flavour here. A pity how this also seemingly lacked an alcoholic punch; perhaps a move to keep it kids-friendly to the young guests that may visit the hotel lounge.

Their signature Black Forest was one of a kind. Layers of its trademark flavours in consistent smooth mousse. All the flavours came together beautifully in the attractive pastry. The Strawberry shortcake had such light cream it married the fresh sweet strawberries for a delicate treat.

The scones were really good. I enjoyed the savoury finger sandwiches as well as the exclusive Marina Pearl Tea.

Located right under MBS’s massive cloud-like installation, Drift, Renku Bar and Lounge exudes sophistication and comfort with their cosy clusters of wingback chairs and plush couches.However, the best part is still the array of delectable nibbles and creative tea blends.

From the variety of sweet and savoury treats on offer, my favourites were the not-so-petite Smoked Salmon with Garlic Cream Cheese, textured Tomato Burrata with Macadamia Pesto on a crusty bruschetta (so guud, I had 3) and lovely White Chocolate Chantilly Berry Tarts. And of course other finger sandwiches, pralines, chocolate bonbons and dainty confections are up for grabs though note that selections vary daily. Renku’s fresh house-made scones were really great too! Warm, slightly crumbly and golden on the outside; the plain and cranberry-studded scones were served with luscious orange butter, clotted cream and tangy strawberry preserves.

What’s more, tea lovers will definitely be impressed by their many teas from ETTE! Rolling up to your table, the custom tea trolley is where all the tea magic happens with the Tea Master creating bespoke artisan tea if the selection off their menu doesn’t catch your fancy. Making use of the ingredients picked from their garden, you can build your own blend with a base of green, white, oolong and black tea. But for the lazy me, I enjoyed the exclusive Marina Pearls for its mellow Jasmine fragrance as well as delicate floral-fruity notes from the marriage of Lily Blossom, Lychee and Juniper Berries. (Psst… you also get watch the tea master in action performing Chinese Traditional Gongfu Tea and bring home samples of the teas you tasted there)

Overall, loving some quality girl-time with my bff, the experience was made even better with the friendly staff attending to us. Shoutout to the adorbs Jackie and Tea Master Drake!

[Available daily at two seatings (2pm and 4pm), priced at $48 on weekdays and $53 on weekends]

Chill-lax and watch the world go by. Thanks to @tjang.fonda for the invite. We did just that, high teaing and spent "gudetama" moments.
▫️▪️
@renku.lounge high tea has both the savories and the sweets. Paired with local @ettetea range of tea. Clueless on what goes with which, the tea sommelier will help you with the pairing and brew the tea at your table. We certainly had the pleasure of savoring the Marina Pearl tea, Mango Sticky Rice and Nanyang Breakfast tea. ▫️▪️
On a side note, Renku's tea-blending masterclass is back on 6th Nov by Victor Koh, founder of local tea atelier ETTE.

Personally, all the teas attracted my attention for it has its own charms but my ultimate love was “The Moon Represents My Heart” (月亮代表我的心). On side note, major love for their mini smoked salmon bagel as well as the raisin scone that was served with fresh orange butter, jam and clotted cream❤️

P.S. Swipe to see the food and tea menu!
