Being a huge fan of Harry Potter, it always enchanted me when there is an opportunity to visit places associated with Harry Potter, allowing a muggle like me to experience a moment in the Wizarding World.
Dropped by Platform 1094, Harry Potter inspired themed cafe located along Serangoon Road. As the cafe is situated at 1094 Serangoon Road, hence the cafe is named as Platform 1094 instead of Platform 9 3/4.
The wood panelled walls to the wooden tiles and tables made me feel like I was being transported to the wizarding village of Hogsmeade. The chairs are furnished with deer prints that resembled a Stag, the Patronus of Harry Potter.
There were props placed on a shelf where you can use for photo taking. They have a collection of owls.
The Green Frog Flexi (Ice Green Tea) made a grand appearance with bubbles popping out from the glass portion. The drink came with a holding stand that added different colours changed to the drink. It was visually magical just by looking at the bubbles popping and the colours transforming. Do note that the drink can only be consume when there is no more bubble.
The Golden Blood Mousse was toppled with Golden Snitch, the smallest ball used in Quidditch that the Seeker has to catch. The colours, Red and Yellow, symbolize the House colours of Gryffindor. The mousse was airy and moist, a refreshing dessert with it's slight sour taste.
The Savouries were served on a black tray with dry ice placed in the center of the tray, creating a magic fog aura. The savouries were:
- Avocado Salmon with Chicken Floss on Magic Ladle
- Bewitching Tuna Sandwiches: The sandwich was too hard for bite. It will be nicer if the bread is softer.
- Hocus Pocus Cheesy Bacon Potato
- Turkey Bacon in Golden Egg Shell
Not much of a theme for the savouries apart from the fog effect, but the food tasted delicious (except for the bread used for sandwich, too hard for biting).
A good afternoon tea made a great afternoon escape with the delicious selection of food and drinks. You don't only enjoy afternoon tea in a hotel, it is available in cafe too. Taking a break from the stressful life, enjoying the moment of peace and savouring the selection bit by bit. A perfect way to spend the raining afternoon at.
