With Chinese dramas like Story of Yanxi Palace giving us an insight into what it was like living in the past, it is no surprise that traditional Chinese outfits like Hanfu have also caught the attention of viewers. In recent years, it’s even growing as a fashion trend.
For those who are curious about this traditional costume, you can now experience it for yourself by wearing one during a Hanfu afternoon tea session in Chinatown. Continue reading on to find out more about this one-of-a-kind afternoon tea sesh.
It is not everyday you get to wear a Hanfu and at Meng Hui Another Day, a shophouse in Chinatown, you can expect an authentic experience.
For this Hanfu High Tea Set for 2, they have collaborated with Sweetea Caffe to provide you with delicious treats while you’re transported to the Han Dynasty with your bestie.
Before the “time travel”, each person gets to choose 2 sets of Hanfu from their array of specially tailored and customised Hanfus. You will also receive a complimentary hairdo from their staff ‒ a chance for you to sport those complicated braids you’ve always wanted.
Once you’re done dolling up, you can enjoy an hour-long of indoor selfies by posing against the pretty backdrops and sets at Meng Hui Another Day.
For more surreal photos, you can also make use of their accessories like fans and lotus baskets as props while you snap photos for the ‘gram.
It is only normal to feel peckish after an hour-long of photo taking, and as part of the Hanfu High Tea Set, you can head over to Sweetea Caffe for a 2-hour long afternoon tea.
The menu includes both sweet and savoury items like Sweetea Caffe’s signature dessert, assorted mini cake, seasonal dessert, luncheon fries, satay and teriyaki chicken skewers. To quench your thirst while you catch up with your BFF, 2 drinks are also provided.
The Hanfu High Tea Set lets you experience a memorable afternoon tea session while you spend quality time with your bestie. From now till 29 January 2022, you can head down to Meng Hui Another Day and Sweetea Caffe for this unique experience at $188 for 2 pax.
