Being tea lovers, 1837 TWG Tea Salon & Boutique has long been on our wishlist.  Naturally, we're scheduled it to be on our agenda one time.

We've seen the different 1837 TWG Tea Salon & Boutique branches and we all agreed that the one in Shangrila East Wing is the best because of its wide area. And, if you're lucky like us, there was an orchestra performance that night as our musical background.


As we approached the entrance, we were immediately assisted and ushered to our table.  We passed by their very enticing gift shop section, which we came back for on our way out. 

Of course, 1837 TWG Tea Salon & Boutique is also famous for their macarons.  This is a must buy in every visit.  Before, we dined here, we've long been purchasing these.  And, do note that every Macaron Day, they are offered for a discounted price.

There's a bar and a dessert chiller where you can view the cakes that are available.

And, of course, the dining area where we can pretend to be sossy like the English.  It has big cushioned seats with table a table covered in super clean white linen.

Food

Complimentary French Brioche

The Complimentary French Brioche was served crunchy on the outside and warm and soft in the inside.


Main Course

♥ Pan-Seared Sea Bass (795 php)

The Pan-Seared Sea Bass is a fillet of sea bass served with pumpkin risotto and asparagus drizzled with a Red Chai Tea infused cream enhanced with notes of citrus fruit.  It tastes as glamorous as it sounds.  Even my mom who isn't too fond of risottos was enchanted by the nice citrus taste that enhanced the light Red Chai Tea infused cream.

New Creations

♥ Scallops Pasta (395 php)

The Scallops Pasta is scallops, shrimps, cherry tomatoes, shallots served with linguine pasta and a cream sauce infused with Silver Moon Tea.  This is our favorite dish for the night as this was executed perfectly.

♥ Oven-Roasted Chicken (400 php)

The Oven-roasted Chicken is infused with Silver Moon Tea served with spinach fettuccine and capsicum button mushrooms, shallots with tea-spiced chardonay butter cream sauce.  This is a sophisticated dish which we all enjoyed.

Desserts

TWG Tea Patisserie Collection

♥ Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake Infused with Earl Grey Fortune (220 php)

I have to admit, chocolates cakes are my least favorite when it comes to cakes.  But, my gosh this Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake Infused with Earl Grey Fortune is to die for!  It is dark rich and bitter-sweet.

♥ Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake Infused with Earl Grey Fortune (220 php)

It is coated in smooth velvety chocolate ganache.  Followed by cool, silky chocolate mousse cake with fudgy moist chocolate chiffon center.  It is so good that I could finish this all alone in a snap.

Tea Ice Cream & Sorbets

Earl Grey Fortune (120 php)

The Earl Grey Fortune has rich notes of black tea, bergamot and chocolate ice cream.  It was delicious too but the Sugar-free Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake Infused with Earl Grey Fortune gained most of the spotlight.


TWG Tea Macarons
And, of course, we bought some macarons.

Napoleon Tea and Caramel (55 php),  1837 Black Tea and Blackcurrant (55 php), ♥ Matcha (55 php) and Moroccan Mint Tea (55 php)

We got the Napoleon Tea and Caramel,  1837 Black Tea and Blackcurrant, Matcha and Moroccan Mint Tea.  But, my favorites are actually not available such as the ♥ Earl Grey Fortune & Chocolate and ♥ Bain de Roses Tea.

Tea List

Exclusive Tea Blends

♥ 1837 Black Tea (195 php)

The 1837 Black Tea is bold yet smooth in delivering its spiced flavors.

♥ Sweet France Tea (195 php)

The Sweet France Tea is a sweet white tea rose.  If you like sweet floral flavors, I recommend this.


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
1837 TWG Tea Salon & Boutique is a must-try not just for tea lovers.  I'm sure any foodie will find their tea-infused menu quite interesting.  Everything we ordered is splendid.
