Celebrate SG60 with a Yip Yew Chong-Inspired Artful Afternoon Tea

As Singapore turns 60, ANTI:DOTE brings you a uniquely Singaporean afternoon tea experience in collaboration with Singaporean artist Yip Yew Chong.

Best known for his vivid art that breathes life into scenes of old Singapore — from hawker stalls and HDB corridors to bustling markets and quiet kopitiams — Yew Chong paints with warmth, nostalgia, and a deep love for local culture. He often says he wants people to “walk into his art” — to feel the sights, sounds and smells of the Singapore he remembers.

Now, you can taste it too.

Working closely with Fairmont Singapore’s culinary team, Yew Chong shared visual references, colours, childhood memories and even favourite foods, inspiring a menu that captures the essence of Singapore’s multicultural identity. Each tier of this afternoon tea is designed to evoke stories from his art — rich in flavour, layered in meaning, and full of heart.

You’ll find familiar favourites reimagined with elegance and creativity, like chicken satay with peanut sauce, lobster with laksa jelly and caviar, and a nostalgic “traffic light” cake made with yuzu, muscat gel and raspberry. Sweets like orh nee, kueh salat, and a whimsical kopi & tea praline round out a journey that’s as much about memory as it is about taste.

Pair it all with handcrafted drinks – including a refreshing Cendol Sunrise mocktail or the artful cocktail Whispers of the Alley, served with a printed icing of Yew Chong’s artwork.

Don’t miss this limited-time experience that brings Singapore’s past to life — through flavour, art, and heartfelt storytelling.
