Singapore (Cafes)
In Singapore, traditions such as British high tea and the Chinese tea ceremony live side by side with a growing coffee culture. These popular hangouts are all over the city. Here are a few places to try.
British High Tea
Two fabulous places to take high tea in style are at Raffles Bar & Billiard Room at Raffles Hotel, 1 Beach Rd. (tel. 65/6331-1746), and Equinox at Swissôtel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Rd. (tel. 65/6431-6156). Both places are lovely, if pricey. The buffet will cost anywhere between S$35 (US$21) and S$45 (US$26). High tea is served in the afternoons from 3 until 5 or 5:30pm.
Chinese Tea
There are a few places in Chinatown where tea is still as important today as it has always been in Chinese culture. The Tea Chapter, 11A Neil Rd. (tel. 65/6226-1175), and Yixing Xuan, 30-32 Tanjong Pagar Rd. (tel. 65/6224-6961), offer tranquil respites from the day and cultural insight into Chinese tea appreciation.
Cafes
Western-style coffee joints have been popping up left and right all over the island, so coffee-addicted travelers can rest assured that in the morning their favorite blends are brewing close by -- as long as you don't mind spending up to S$4 (US$2.35) for a cup of brew. Starbucks, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, The Coffee Club, Spinelli, and many more international chain cafes have outlets in just about every shopping mall in the city.

My favourite is Goodwood Hotel's Coffee Lounge -- they do a Nonya High Tea from 2.45 pm every afternoon for a reasonable $18 (I think?? last time i was there).
Good stuff like mee siam, laksa, roti john, kueh pie tee; desserts -- ice kacang, apom berkuah (that pancake with banana sauce thing), lots of nonya kueh, bubur hitam...
I like to take overseas guests there (air-con and chicken wings if all else fails)
I think they have an arrangement with UOB credit cards too - but call ahead to ask (and make reservations - it gets crowded on the weekends)

Raffles Hotel? Tiffin Room / Empire Cafe? Hmm for buffets can check out various hotels as they are often having promotions. Or just go to any good ol' hawker centre. Lau Par Sat / Chinatown / Geylang / East Coast = food haven. :)
