A Global Culinary Adventure

This exclusive afternoon tea experience will transport guests through a world of flavors with a meticulously curated menu. The set includes tantalizing delights such as spicy roasted duck salad with homemade sambal, foie gras parfait on brioche, Belgian hazelnut praline crunch, classic Australian lamingtons, and Manhattan-style blueberry cream cheese scones.

According to Ms. Liwei Tai, General Manager of Singapore Airlines Philippines, “Our Singapore Airlines Cafe afternoon tea experience at the Writers Bar allows customers to explore exciting global flavors while inviting them to discover unique destinations within Singapore Airlines' expansive route network.

An Exclusive Collaboration with Raffles Makati and Mastercard

Raffles Makati is equally excited about this partnership, as Mr. Bernd Schneider, Cluster General Manager for Raffles and Fairmont Makati, shared: “Each bite of this afternoon tea set tells a story inspired by diverse global tastes. We are honored to collaborate with Singapore Airlines in crafting a unique experience that celebrates both culinary artistry and the spirit of global exploration.”

Customers purchasing an SIA ticket with their Mastercard debit or credit card during the promotional period can enjoy 50% off the afternoon tea set (original price PHP 3,200++) when they use their Mastercard to pay. For KrisFlyer members, the experience can also be redeemed for 7,500 KrisFlyer miles. Even without purchasing a ticket, Mastercard holders can still savor the tea set at PHP 3,200++ between 2:00 PM and 5:30 PM daily.

Mr. Simon Calasanz, Mastercard Philippines’ Country Manager, expressed his enthusiasm: “Mastercard is delighted to partner with Singapore Airlines and Raffles Makati to bring this unforgettable culinary experience to our cardholders. At Mastercard, we understand that shared experiences are more valuable than material things. This afternoon tea set will take Mastercard holders and their loved ones on a global exploration through food, creating lasting memories.”

Exciting Prizes Await!

In addition to indulging in world-class flavors, guests will have a chance to win fantastic prizes. Every afternoon tea purchase or KrisFlyer Experiences redemption qualifies customers for an e-raffle, with prizes such as deluxe overnight stays at Fairmont Makati. The grand prize offers a pair of round-trip Singapore Airlines business class tickets to Singapore and a luxurious two-night stay at the iconic Raffles Singapore.
