1 Caramel

Located near the heart of the Orchard Road shopping belt, 1 Caramel is perfect for a spot of high-tea after an afternoon out with your best friend.

At this pattiserie, desserts take the spotlight. There are 27 varieties of exquisitely decorated cakes as well as pastries and desserts baked daily. Try their liquid desserts, like the sinful vodka with a chocolate-covered strawberry ($18.00).

Balance the rich desserts with their gourmet teas. Two can share a pot of Geisha Blossom Tea or Red Chai Tea ($6.80 a pot).

The classy exterior might frighten you into thinking that the price range is out of your budget, but as most slices of cakes are meant to be shared, the prices aren't harsh on your pocket.
