Indonesian Honey Stars in Singapore's Premium Winnie the Pooh High Tea

Singapore is hosting a unique high tea experience, 'Tea with a Little Hunny,' at SKAI Restaurant, Swissotel The Stamford, until August 31, 2026. This event celebrates the Winnie the Pooh and Friends theme by highlighting the rich diversity of pure Indonesian honey as a central ingredient in premium culinary creations.

Elizabeth Wan, Director of Marketing Communications for Fairmont Singapore and Swissôtel The Stamford, stated that the inclusion of Indonesian honey goes beyond mere sweetness. It serves as a vital element in a gastronomic journey designed to introduce the world to Indonesia's rich culinary heritage and diverse flavors. The event aims to offer international visitors a taste of Nusantara's culinary wealth.

The experience features three distinct types of Indonesian honey, each with its own character. Madu Hutan Hitam from Flores, harvested from wild bees in tropical forests, offers a rich taste. Madu Bunga Kapas from Central Java, derived from cotton flower nectar, provides a milder flavor. Lastly, Madu Akasia Gelap from Java's peatlands presents a more complex taste with natural caramel notes. These honeys are incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes, enhancing the overall high tea experience.

According to Wan, the use of food ingredients with strong geographical identities aligns with a growing trend in gastronomy across Southeast Asia. This focus on origin and unique characteristics is becoming increasingly important in the region's culinary scene.
