Go with your girlfriends~
Needed a nice place to catch up with a girlfriend and decided to go for its 101 Tea selection.
2 seatings: 12pm - 2:30pm and 3:30-6pm, so pick your time and make reservation, coz the place fills up with tittering tais tais quite fast.
Kudos to excellent tea selection, and it actually balances the buffet spread quite well. I had 3 whole pots by myself :) Food wise, nothing really outstanding, although they do try to fit in a bit of everything. Sushi, sashimi, mee rebus, scones, pumpkin soup, salmon pastry, popiah, salads, bread, curry, dim sum, naans, potato skins, slamom cakes, and a reasonable spread of desserts & fruits. Nice tiramisu though.
Service was quite faultless: polite, warm, and efficient. But then again, its Shang, so it is expected. Very good for catching up with girlfriends as the lazy ambience and nicely spaced out couches ensure privacy for your gossip!
A excellent choice for a luxurious afternoon~

Thanks to a dear friend, I got a chance to enjoy their lunch buffet recently. According to her, the variety of dishes has become lesser as compared to before they renovated and moved up the place. Not sure how long ago was that thou.
When I was there, the crowd were mostly the senior citizens who've retired and has lots of time (and money) to spend. There were also families and taitai look-alike there. If not for the lunch meeting, I would probably never have a chance to dine at such a place.
The food though variety is not plentiful, but the spread was good enough for lunch. And the most important thing is that its fresh and taste very well.
My favorite from that day was the Thai Seafood Curry, Fresh Salmon Sashimi, couple of the appertisers and the hazelnut chocolate cake from the desserts bar.
And the highlight at Rose Veranda is the huge variety of tea available free-flow(!!!) for customers. I spent 15minutes going through and deciding which to try. If I had the time, I would have ordered like few options (one after another) to try more varieties.
Rose Veranda is a great place to spend the afternoon with friends over good quality tea and great food. The setting is very comfortable and they've got very comfy sofa seats too.
If you're planning to give it a try, don't forget to call for reservations! Even if its on a weekday!
Next to find chance to try The Line!

The Rose Veranda is known for its 101 different blends of teas. If you are a tea lover, this is the place for you.
Along with the teas, the Rose Veranda serves an international fare, ranging from Salmon sashimi, smoked salmon, selected dim sum, local food, western desserts & fruits in fine china.
A little on the pricey side. This place spots numerous leisurely women who spend their afternoons in congregation.
$36 .
