Cafe: High Society

High society is part of That CD Shop and you can find them at Pacific Plaza or Marina Bay Sands. (I went to the Pacific Plaza one). As we approach the cafe, it has this distinctive design of chequer Italian marble flooring, golden chandeliers and white walls with golden frames. Basically, it looks atas from the outside. They do sell mains here but I guess it's better for you to come here for a high tea or just chill over some desserts and a coffee.

With Ally's recommendation, we made a visit here after our shiok maki dinner at Wisma. The desserts on the shelves looked really appealing to us so we quickly got ourselves some seats and decided on our desserts. The entire cafe was quiet, and the seats we were comfortable. Lights were slightly dim, feels pretty calm and peaceful right in the middle of a busy orchard road.

Oh... something that I thought was pretty bad? The waitress. She took our orders.. and then she forgot all about them.. made her colleague to come over and take our same orders AGAIN. When we told her that her colleague had already taken our orders she told us "oh, my colleague forgot what you ordered". Like seriously? I'm not sure about you but, I didn't/never would have expected that coming. I think that waitress needs extra training, like really.

Though there's no 'wow' factor in the desserts and it ain't that affordable (in my opinion) but it's okay to dine here once in awhile for a good high-tea relaxation with your friends. (cause the ambiance is good) If you're someone who's really anal about service (sometimes I get a little too affected about such stuff...) then maybe you won't want to come here and increase your blood pressure.

It's really tough for me to say if I'd come back again or not. I'm pretty neutral bout this place.
