[Review] InterContinental Singapore and Comvita Debut Honey-Themed Afternoon Tea by Pastry Maestro Jason Goh

If you are a fan of afternoon teas and all things honeyed and golden, mark your calendars.

From now till 17 July 2025, InterContinental Singapore’s The Lobby Lounge is turning into a sweet sanctuary, thanks to an exclusive collaboration with Comvita, the world’s leading UMF Mānuka Honey producer.

Dubbed the Golden Nectar Afternoon Tea, this elegant experience is a love letter to the golden elixir of wellness, in this case Comvita’s Mānuka and Gourmet honeys – celebrated through a series of whimsical, bee-inspired creations by Executive Pastry Chef Jason Goh.

A name well-respected in Singapore’s patisserie circles, Chef Jason Goh is known for his delicate artistry and flavour-forward desserts. Having won numerous accolades for his creative flair, Chef Goh brings his signature finesse to this latest showcase, infusing every bite with thoughtful textures and well-balanced notes of sweetness. His honours over the years include numerous Gold medals in FHA’s culinary challenges and also the Gold medal in the 2018 Expogast Culinary World Cup.

The tea set is a curated balance of sweet and savoury delights, each subtly enhanced by the floral, earthy richness of Comvita’s premium New Zealand honeys.

Savoury Items:

Foie Gras and Duck Rillettes on Brioche – velvety, decadent and just the right touch of indulgence in a one bite.

Brie Cheese and Wild Mushroom Tart – creamy, umami-packed with a buttery crust. This deconstructed tart sips like a soup and was one of our favourites.

Clover Honey-Miso Glazed Salmon – an inventive balance of sweet-savoury, presented elegantly.

Quiche Lorraine – a savoury crowd-pleaser, this is a timeless classic.

Dessert Items:

Chrysanthemum Honey Pavlova – delicate vanilla panna cotta meets luscious Multifloral Honey, crowned with airy meringue and a charming honeybee for a melt-in-your-mouth finish. This is another of our favourites.

Honey Redcurrant Mousse – featuring a tender financier sponge, vibrant lemon yuzu compote, and the golden richness of Rewarewa honey, this is light, tart, and beautifully layered.

Ginger Mānuka Honey Tartlet – where warm spice meets floral sweetness.

Medovik Clover Honey Cake – a Russian classic reimagined.

Pistachio Mānuka Honey Choux Puff – delicate pastry shell with creamy, nutty filling.

Plain English Buttermilk Scones and Raspberry Scones – served with Devonshire Clotted Cream, handmade Passion Fruit Compote and Wild Blueberry Jam.

The indulgence does not stop here. Pair your treats with either the Queen Bee, a sophisticated cocktail crafted with Comvita UMF 5+ Mānuka Honey, or opt for the Honey Buzz, a refreshing mocktail marrying Mānuka Leaf Blend Tea and honey with citrusy accents.
