Any British or elderly person will tell you that no warm beverage is complete without sweet treats to pair with it. Don’t believe us? Try it for yourself, brew a pot of your favourite tea, and try to down it all on its own. We bet you’ll feel the absence, much like one feels a phantom limb. The good news is that in Singapore, we are blessed with endless selections to complete our afternoon tea. A personal favourite of ours would be the simple yet hearty choice of biscuits. With so many different flavours and brands to try out, we’ve compiled a list filled with our top choices of the best biscuits in Singapore.
