In case you haven't heard, The Royal Touch is a brand created by Carolyn Robb who was the former executive chef to Prince Charles for 11 years. This new bakery café will feature some dishes from the royal recipes including Prince William's favourite chocolate biscuit cake which was also used as his wedding cake (called Groom's cake) in 2011.
Apart from the famous Groom's cake, other British specialties such as the "Royal Tea Set" and scorns will also feature prominently in the "tea" menu.
....and cupcakes of course, how can we forget them?
As for the food menu, it looked surprisingly similar to Angelina's with comfort food being the main theme (think soup, salad, sandwich, pasta and risotto). Unfortunately, I was a little tied up this afternoon or else I would be comfortably sitting here enjoying their tea set.
If it's any consolation, I did pick something from the pastry corner. This Lychee and rose was perfect for the new year holidays because it's dressed almost like a red pocket! (Hope it's bringing good luck to me or my belly.)
It's surprisingly smooth and delicate although I was slightly disappointed with the lack of lychee and rose flavor.
