This May and June, Mandarin Oriental is teaming up with Porsche Singapore to roll out Teatime Dreams.
It’s a curated experience celebrating the love and spirit of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, offering a symphony of sweets, savouries, and a test drive in some of Porsche’s most electrifying cars.
Held at the hotel’s newly refreshed Lobby Lounge, Teatime Dreams combines Mandarin Oriental’s famed hospitality and Porsche’s design-led engineering, translated into edible elegance.
The menu reads like a love letter to craft. Imagine biting into the Beef Medley, crispy savoury bites that hide braised beef simmered in dark beer and ginger for six hours. Or try the Bavarian Bites, a bold reinterpretation of the classic pretzel, featuring a decadent homemade cheese mix of Camembert and cream cheese.
There’s even a little East-meets-West happening on the plate. The Black Forest Deli marries spiced Asian Achar with savoury ham, a pairing that sounds unlikely until your taste buds beg for more.
The Fruity Nutty mousse cake, shaped like the Porsche crest, sings with citrus and floral notes of bergamot. Then there’s the Golden Fan, a chocolate sable whose name and form are tributes to Mandarin Oriental’s signature emblem.
Perhaps most intriguing is the Tofu Oabika, which showcases fermented cacao and the nutty richness of black sesame, with a sly hit of shoyu umami rounding out the flavour.
On the weekends of 10–11 May and 14–15 June, celebrating Mother’s Day and Father’s Day respectively, guests can elevate their tea experience with a 30-minute spin in selected Porsche electric vehicles.
For SGD 78 per person, you get the Mandarin Oriental afternoon tea set, a test drive, and a Singapore edition of Curves magazine to take home.
Expect to see the Taycan or Macan on offer in May, and the 718 or 911 sports cars revving up in June. Limited test drive slots are available and require 48 hours’ notice, so if this sounds like your cup of tea (and petrol), better book early.
Between 1 May and 30 June, fans of the Stuttgart marque can also browse an exclusive pop-up featuring Porsche Lifestyle products at The Mandarin Cake Shop. As if the tea wasn’t tempting enough, there’s also a 15% discount on these stylish wares, with vouchers redeemable at the pop-up, the Porsche Studio at Guoco Midtown, or online.
