Fairmont Singapore, in collaboration with ARTiSTORY and the British Library, presents "Adventures in Storyland," a thematic high tea experience inspired by the timeless tale of Cinderella. This unique culinary event combines enchanting literature with exquisite gastronomy concepts, offering guests a magical journey through storytelling and food.
Fairmont Singapore aimed to create an immersive and whimsical high tea experience for its guests. By drawing inspiration from the classic story of Cinderella, the hotel seeks to blend elegant culinary creations with beloved literary themes, enhancing the overall dining experience and attracting a diverse audience.
The British Library played a crucial role in this collaboration by providing access to its rich collection of literary works.
As the national library of the UK, the British Library strives to make its intellectual heritage accessible to everyone. Through this partnership, the library brought the enchanting story of Cinderella to life, reaching new audiences and inspiring creativity.
The high tea experience is inspired by Charles Seddon Evans' 1919 iteration of "The Little Glass Slipper," a full-length children's novel based on the original French tale.
Illustrated by the renowned artist Arthur Rackham, known for his captivating silhouette drawings, this retold narrative is enriched with over 40 illustrations, making it a cherished piece in the British Library's collection.
The collaboration has resulted in a delightful high tea menu crafted by Chef de Cuisine Jacky Lai and Executive Pastry Chef Yong Ming Choong. The menu features both savory and sweet treats that capture the essence of Cinderella’s story.
Guests were able to enjoy finger sandwiches, Granny Smith Apple Pie, Duck Confit, Apple Sablé Tart, Pumpkin Cinnamon Tea Cake, and more. Additionally, ANTI:DOTE’s lead mixologist Marlon Aseoche has created special cocktails and mocktails, such as the Carriage Pumpkin Sour Cocktail and the Royal Ball Mocktail, to complement the high tea experience. The high tea set is available from 1 to 31 March 2024, offering a magical culinary journey for all guests.
