Sakura Madness
Missing out on seeing sakura in Japan? Don't fret. Just create your own cherry blossom-themed weekend instead. Head over to the Lobby Lounge at Conrad Centennial Singapore for its Sakura Afternoon Tea, available until May 12, that artfully incorporates the dainty sakura, complemented by savoury delicacies. Some of the sweet treats include a Cherry Blossom Panna Cotta with Sakura Jelly, Lychee Sakura Mousse Cake and Sakura Rose and Raspberry Velvet.
Over at Lady M, the patisserie is now offering a seasonal Sakura Berry Mille Crepe till end April. The crepe has sakura-infused white chocolate ganache and dehydrated strawberries layered in between no fewer than 20 of the signature handmade crepes, along with freshly made strawberry-infused pastry cream.
To see some real sakura, head to the Sakura Matsuri, happening at Gardens by the Bay till March 31, where there are 30 varieties of the cherry blossom trees on display.
