Having visited
Solaire Resorts and Casino and dining at Fresh Buffet twice, I could never have thought that it could even be expanded with their new
Sky Tower. There's even an access to the
Sky Tower from
Fresh.

| Oasis Garden Cafe |
Sky Tower includes two new establishments: Oasis Garden Cafe and Waterside Restobar. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Oasis Garden Cafe Launch Afternoon Tea Party which I gladly accepted since I just love tea parties. Oasis Garden Cafe is found on the Sky Tower Atrium. It has an exquisite and sophisticated structural design that makes it stand out.
It has a beautiful sophisticated bird's nest-like divider that surrounds the establishment.
It has a circular bar, cake display chiller and cozy lofts upon entry. Going up a few steps will leads you to a classy lounge-type area fully carpeted with cushioned seats and round tables. There's a highlighted platform for the piano. What's unique about it is that although you're cool and comfortable indoors, you are surrounded by nature. Yes, you can sift the floral scents of the blooming flowers and minty leaves. The clear glass roofing also affords a nurturing brightness.
The other side affords more privacy and elegance with its crescent-shaped booths.
What's a party without music?
We were serenaded while we enjoyed our snacks.
There were so many to choose from...
There were scones, hand-crafted petite fours, tea sandwiches and all sorts of pastries.
There were delicious chocolates similar to the ones I had at
Fresh.

What I Sampled
 |
| Caramel Tiramisu, Fruit Cake, Pistachio Opera Cake, Coconut Ube Pound Cake, Scones and Solaire Chocolate Cake |
Everything is delicious! I'm impressed at how feather-light the
Scones are.
 |
| Assorted Crostini and Tea Sandwiches |
I especially loves the
Cheese Crostini and the
Smoked Salmon with herbed creme fraiche, capers, chives in toasted brioche.
 |
| Roast Beef Crostini Topped with Caramelized Onions |
 |
| BBQ Pork Pastry |
The
BBQ Pork Pastry reminds me of the Chinese dimsum.
 |
| Egg Benedict |
The
Egg Benedict is glamorous with poached quail egg covered with hollandiase sauce, ham, tomato jam laid on a crisp cheddar cheese biscuit.
 |
| Fire Cracker Spring Rolls |
The
Fire Cracker Spring Rolls is filled with seafood bits and dipped in sweet and sour sauce.
Tea
 |
| Naicha |
Of course, the high light of an afternoon tea party are the teas. I had the ice cold
Naicha which was sweet and creamy.
 |
Seffarine Tea
|
I also had the cool, minty and lemon citrusy
Seffarine Tea.
 |
| Passion Green Tea |
And, the floral and fruity
Passion Green Tea.
Congratulations
Oasis Garden Cafe for a successful launch! I hope to be back and spend an afternoon tea with the family.
