Looking for a luxurious escape that doesn’t require hopping on a plane? Singapore Airlines has found a way to whisk you away on a global culinary journey without leaving Manila. In collaboration with Raffles Makati and Mastercard, Singapore Airlines presents the Teatime Experience Around the World—an exclusive afternoon tea at the iconic Writers Bar.
From 20 September to 20 November 2024, guests are invited to indulge in an extraordinary travel-themed afternoon tea that showcases flavors from across the globe.
A Journey Through Global Flavors
Singapore Airlines’ extensive international network has inspired a menu that captures the essence of the world’s culinary hotspots. With every bite, you’ll be transported to far-flung destinations. The meticulously curated selection includes savory delights like spicy roasted duck salad with sambal, and foie gras parfait on buttery brioche. For those with a sweet tooth, expect indulgent offerings like Belgian hazelnut praline crunch, Manhattan-style blueberry scones, and the beloved Australian lamington. Each dish tells a story—one that invites you to explore the rich cultural tapestry that has shaped these flavors.
Ms. Liwei Tai, General Manager of Singapore Airlines in the Philippines, expresses the heart behind this experience: “Our Singapore Airlines Café at the Writers Bar offers customers a glimpse into exciting global flavors. It’s an invitation to explore unique destinations in our network, while enjoying a world-class culinary adventure."
Savoring Culinary Artistry at Raffles Makati
Known for its sophisticated charm, Raffles Makati provides the perfect setting for this elegant affair. The Writers Bar is transformed into a haven of indulgence, where the afternoon tea menu reflects both culinary artistry and the spirit of travel. Mr. Bernd Schneider, Cluster General Manager of Raffles and Fairmont Makati, describes the experience as a celebration of the world's diverse flavors, where “each bite unfolds a narrative inspired by global influences.”
Afternoon tea at the Writers Bar has always been a sought-after treat, but this collaboration elevates the experience to new heights. Whether you’re seeking an intimate gathering or an excuse to indulge, this is an afternoon you won’t want to miss.
Exclusive Offers for Mastercard Holders and KrisFlyer Members
As an added incentive, Mastercard cardholders who purchase a Singapore Airlines ticket during the promotion period will enjoy a 50% discount on the afternoon tea set (regularly priced at PHP 3,200++). And for KrisFlyer members, there's the option to redeem the experience for two using 7,500 KrisFlyer miles. Don’t worry if you didn’t book a flight—existing Mastercard holders can still take part in the affair at full price.
Mr. Simon Calasanz, Mastercard’s Country Manager for the Philippines, captures the essence of this collaboration: “Shared experiences matter more than things. This afternoon tea is a special moment for people to explore global flavors together, elevating their culinary experience and creating unforgettable memories.”
A Taste of Luxury and a Chance to Win
The delightful surprises don’t stop with the tea. Every purchase of the afternoon tea set or KrisFlyer redemption grants guests an entry into an e-raffle with enticing prizes up for grabs. Imagine enjoying a deluxe overnight stay at Fairmont Makati—or the grand prize: a pair of round-trip business class tickets to Singapore, paired with a two-night stay at the legendary Raffles Singapore. It’s an opportunity to turn your afternoon indulgence into a dream escape.
