Singapore has a special way of turning familiar food into treasured memories. From a curry puff picked up on the way home to a plate of nasi lemak shared with family, many local dishes are closely tied to everyday moments. This National Day season, Madison’s at Pullman Singapore Hill Street is bringing some of those familiar flavours to the afternoon tea table with a limited-time collaboration with homegrown favourite Old Chang Kee.

Called A Heritage Walk Down Memory Lane, this special Madison’s x Old Chang Kee high tea experience is available from 1 July to 31 August 2026. Rather than offering a conventional afternoon tea filled mainly with traditional Western pastries and sandwiches, the menu takes inspiration from Singapore’s food heritage and gives well-loved local flavours a more refined presentation.

It is a rather interesting idea for anyone who enjoys discovering familiar Singaporean favourites in a different form. The collaboration also comes at a meaningful time, as Old Chang Kee celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. That makes the high tea more than just another seasonal dining promotion. It is also a chance to revisit some of the flavours that have become part of Singapore’s culinary identity.

A High Tea Inspired by Singapore’s Food Memories

The first thing that makes this promotion stand out is the way Madison’s has approached the menu. Instead of simply adding one or two local dishes to an afternoon tea selection, the collaboration brings Singaporean flavours into both savoury and sweet creations.

Guests can expect some familiar Old Chang Kee favourites, including the Chilli Crab Puff and Vegetable Spring Roll, as well as a Mini Black Sesame Ball. These are the sorts of flavours that many Singaporeans will recognise immediately, but they are presented as part of a more leisurely afternoon tea setting.

For those who enjoy trying something a little different, Madison’s also introduces several heritage-inspired creations. The selection includes Laksa Prawn, Satay Chicken Tartelette and a Nasi Lemak Scone, combining local flavours with the style of an elegant high tea.

The sweet selection continues the same theme. There is Pulut Hitam Mousse, Ondeh-Ondeh Mousse and a Dark Chocolate Chilli Canelé, offering familiar ingredients and flavours in desserts that feel more contemporary.

This balance between nostalgia and modern presentation is arguably the biggest attraction of the promotion. Guests do not simply have to choose between traditional Singaporean food and a Western-style afternoon tea. Instead, the menu attempts to bring both together.

Why Old Chang Kee Makes This Collaboration Interesting

Old Chang Kee has been a familiar name in Singapore for generations, so its involvement gives this afternoon tea a distinctly local character. The brand’s 70th anniversary also provides a natural reason to look back at the food memories associated with Singapore’s development over the years.

The collaboration with Madison’s creates an opportunity to see these familiar flavours from another perspective. A chilli crab-inspired puff, for example, might be something guests normally enjoy as a quick snack, while a satay-inspired tartlette or nasi lemak scone turns those same ideas into part of a sit-down afternoon tea.

That makes this promotion particularly appealing to people who have already tried plenty of standard high tea menus around Singapore. Those who are looking for something different may find the local twist much more memorable.

It could also make an interesting afternoon out for visitors who want to experience Singapore’s food culture without having to travel from one hawker centre to another. Several recognisable local flavours are brought together in one dining experience, allowing guests to enjoy them in a more relaxed hotel setting.

How Much Does the Madison’s High Tea Cost?

The special high tea is priced at S$88++ for two guests, which works out to S$44++ per person when dining as a pair. Additional guests can be added at S$44++ per person.

For a hotel afternoon tea experience, the pricing provides an option for couples, friends or family members who want to spend an afternoon trying something beyond the usual café desserts.

The two-person pricing is particularly convenient for anyone planning a catch-up. Instead of ordering separate dishes and trying to decide what to share, the afternoon tea format naturally encourages guests to sample a variety of savoury and sweet creations together.

As the listed price is before service charge and prevailing taxes, guests should take the additional charges into account when planning their budget.

When Can Guests Enjoy It?

The promotion runs from 1 July to 31 August 2026, giving guests plenty of time during the National Day season to plan a visit.

From Mondays to Fridays, the afternoon tea is served from 2pm to 4.15pm. On Saturdays, the serving period runs from 2pm to 4.30pm.

The afternoon timing makes this particularly suitable for a relaxed weekend catch-up. Instead of rushing through lunch or dinner, guests can settle in during the middle of the afternoon, enjoy the food at a slower pace and have a proper conversation.

Weekday visitors can also consider making it part of an afternoon around the city. Since the serving period begins at 2pm, it can work well as a later lunch alternative or an afternoon break before continuing with shopping, sightseeing or other plans around central Singapore.

Why Should They Go and Enjoy This Deal?

There are several good reasons to consider this promotion while it is available.

Firstly, the menu is different from a typical afternoon tea. Anyone who enjoys Singaporean flavours may appreciate seeing chilli crab, laksa, satay, nasi lemak, pulut hitam and ondeh-ondeh incorporated into a high tea menu.

Secondly, the Old Chang Kee collaboration adds a nostalgic element. With the brand celebrating its 70th anniversary, the experience connects a familiar local name with Madison’s more contemporary dining presentation.

Thirdly, it is a good option for a social occasion. At S$88++ for two, friends or couples can share a selection of dishes while enjoying a hotel setting rather than having a quick meal on the go.

Finally, the promotion is available for two months, so there is some flexibility when planning a visit. Those who cannot make it during the early National Day period can still consider visiting later in July or August, subject to availability.

For anyone who enjoys trying limited-time menus, this is also the sort of promotion worth considering before it disappears. Seasonal collaborations often provide dishes that are not part of the regular menu, making the experience more interesting for returning diners.

A Taste of Singapore With a Different Presentation

The Madison’s x Old Chang Kee high tea is ultimately about taking something familiar and presenting it in an unexpected way. The menu brings together everyday Singaporean flavours, nostalgic Old Chang Kee favourites and the polished style associated with an afternoon tea experience.

For local diners, it could be an enjoyable trip down memory lane. For visitors, it offers another way to explore the flavours that make Singapore’s food culture so distinctive.

With the promotion running from 1 July to 31 August 2026, there is still an opportunity to plan an afternoon around this heritage-inspired menu. Whether it is a catch-up with friends, a date, a family outing or simply an excuse to enjoy a different kind of afternoon tea, Madison’s x Old Chang Kee provides a compelling reason to take a break and rediscover familiar local flavours.

For those who have been looking for a high tea experience that feels distinctly Singaporean rather than predictable, this limited-time collaboration is certainly one to put on the dining list.
