Well, for the record, Raffles royally screw3d up.

Despite requesting and receiving confirmation by e-mail that we were booked in for the traditional english afternoon tea, we ended up with the buffet - ...!!! Couldn't switch us as everything was booked out, so no linen tablecloths for us and no real sense of occasion. The food is definitely a couple of notches below the Fullerton and they're simply trading on the name.

Very disappointing - should have gone with my unscientific sample set of 1.
