Long queues at Royal Plaza on Scotts
What’s happening?
If you were in town on 23 September, you might have noticed a snaking queue that started from Royal Plaza on Scotts, and extended all the way to Pacific Plaza.
Josephine Lim, 29, had passed by and snapped a shot of the “very very very long queue” outside the hotel. People were queuing for entry into the hotel’s restaurant, Café Vienna, which was offering high tea buffet at $7.80 per person.
According to Ms Lim, the queue had started at about 11am, three hours before the buffet was to begin.
Staff of the hotel were amazed to see the turnout as well. Two of them, Sharon Teo, 29, and Santhia Moorthy, 33, also sent in MMSes to STOMP separately.
A check with the marketing communications department of Royal Plaza on Scotts revealed that the offer was part of the hotel’s pre-renovation offers. Starting this week, the hotel will be closed for renovations for three months.
Due to overwhelming response, 700 people were served that day and the café’s hours were extended until 6.40pm. The high tea buffet usually ended at 5.30pm.
Ms Sandra Tan, director of marketing communications, those who had given up queuing were give a complimentary cookbook instead, so that nobody left disappointed.
