British Airways serves tea to the Royal couple
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Singapore for three days as part of their Diamond Jubilee tour around Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
This print advertisement, created by BBH Asia Pacific, offers a twist on the much-loved English tradition of a ‘cuppa’.
A British Airways cabin staffer offers up the favourite local choice of tea – ‘teh tarik’ – complete with plastic bag and straws – but on a silver plate fit for royalty.
The print advertisement ran in today’s issue of the Straits Times and in today and tomorrow’s issue of the Today newspaper.

Love it. Looks real, probably is real.
Funny.
well done! absolutely loved it! 🙂
simple idea, amusing effect.
I’ve bought coffee in reused milk tins, foam cups, bubble tea sealed cups but never from a plastic bag.
Let alone one that’s knotted at the top.
Dont get your knickers in a twist..it could be Milo and Ive seen it served that way
I stared and stared at that picture….something not quite right with the hostess’ hands and neck…then I wondered…could it actually be Andy himself….he’s got the stiff pinky and the cleavage….but why crop it ?
I love it.
