Staycation: Day 3 Fairmont - YL's Birthday

It is mid week! Finally!!!

Okay, now... The final post of my 3d2n staycation at Fairmont.
We woke up reluctantly again.... hahaha. So sad, its the last day already!
After some struggle to get up to wash up, we decided to go MacDonald for breakfast.

I used to buy big breakfast, then when deluxe breakfast came out... I upgraded. Now i cannot resist the grilled chicken.... Yet dont want to forgo the pancakes. hehe. So we ordered both to share. Love the grilled chicken.


Its champagne time after breakfast! Since we request for late check out.... 


After we check out from the hotel, we went town....Had sushi at sushi express...
19 Plates...

On Monday, my colleague prepared breakfast for us! Wraps and Pita with ham, bacon & mushroom, butter head lettuce and tomatoes! We totally love it~ Good way of starting our Monday Morning~~~

Tuesday breakfast was done by another colleague, she fried Pork leg bee hoon for us! nomnomnom~~~

This morning i prepared 'Continental Breakfast' for them. wahahahhaa. Multi Grain bread with Cream cheese, Yogurt with hibiscus jam topped with multi grain cereals + krispy creme donuts. LOL.

I bought the hibiscus jam last weekend at Taka Food Fest... Will share more about it soon!

Enjoy your Wednesday! :))

Staycation: Day 2 Fairmont - YL's Birthday

Time pass slow today!!! Arghhh!!!

Anyway, Day 2 of staycation at Fairmont.... 
We had a great night, bed is so comfy that we dont feel like waking up. 

Guess what time it is??? 
IT IS 10am! and the room is still so dark.... We thought it is 6am! wahahahaahahhaa! Now u know, the curtains is good tooo~

After dilly dally for awhile, we finally got out of the room for Brunch! 
We went straight to Marche Bistro.... actually was considering Brotzeit too, in the end Marche Bistro won. 

Ordered Cold Cut Threesome $11.90! Actually i ordered grilled chicken Sandwich... but i saw the server carrying this plate to other table, and i changed my order. Never regret at all! 
2 types of Ham and Cheese. The Cheese is rich~~~ nomnomnom

The bread that came with the Cold Cut Threesome



Marche Bistro Brekkie $14.90 - bacon, choice of eggs: we choose scrambled, and 3 english sausages. 


Comes with the same bread as Cold Cut Threesome, and another bread. 

It is a pity that their bread is not hot... They dont toast their bread, i am not sure if it is their culture. 

Hot Chocolate. Looks normal yea. 

Look! It is a Bowl of Hot Chocolate! How not to be full after drinking this...... and it only costs $5.90! 

Our small table full of foods. 

We also ordered another dish. 
Something majority of the people loves....

After our very full breakfast, we went shopping!
We bought Panda Tees for my Godson and his Meimei.... Its so cute and Cheap! hahaha. 


Also bought a few things before going back to our room for Nua-ing session again! wahahaha.

Back to room to nua, see newspapers (famous Kovan murder)... and darling friend came to visit us... brought us tea break toooo~~~ 

Grapefruit and Orange Juice, Smoked duck with mango salsa and 4 slices of cakes....
seriously, we are so full!!!!

Chit chat with darling for about an hour... Time flies! 
And it is time to dress up for our dinner, YL's Birthday Dinner. :))

This is the place - Morton's Steakhouse! 

Table was decorated with personalized menu. Menu has 'Happy Birthday YL! and date 13th July 2013'
How nice yah.... =D

We ordered Steak & Seafood Menu. 
The server told us the serving is huge, and that 1 set is enough for both of us. All we need to do is to upsize the steak! True enough, we can't even finish the steak! Sadly, we had too much during the day.... 

Even the complimentary Onion Loaf is so big, its bigger than my fist... It is like a Big Big Pau. 

I like it with the salted butter given. nomnomnom

We choose Caesar Salad. This portion is after spliting into 2 plates. Big portion right???!! The bread is delicious! Crispy and tasty!

Yes, the steak and scallops is here! I love scallops, and their scallops is 1 of the best i had! As for the steak, we upsized it to Prime Ribeye, Medium. Good as well. 

The set includes a vegetable or potato, YL wants baked potato... The potato is BIG also. Bacon chunks super good leh! 

Complimentary Dessert when you go Morton's for celebrations! I chose Chocolate Souffle! 


Another complimentary is Photo. :))

Initially we thought we are able to finish the dinner by 8pm, but we couldnt... So, we missed the Fireworks! But we enjoyed the dinner alot~~ 
Total bill was $164.66 plus a Hot Tea $9.90++, the set after upsized is $130++. 

Go Morton's for celebrations! It is worth to go!

Staycation: Day 1: Fairmont Singapore - YL's Birthday

Last saturday was YL's birthday and we went for a 3d2n staycation at Fairmont. 

I LOVE STAYCATION! cause i get to NUA in the room without feeling guilty. hahahaha. When we travel, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GO OUT TO SEE SEE LOOK LOOK EAT EAT instead of staying in the room even if your room is super good. 

Anyway, I was really lucky to have great friends! I managed to get a room not knowing that there will be NDP preview - which also means FIREWORKS! (well, we didnt get to watch the fireworks.- will tell you why later). And, having VIP service! 
I am really Thankful for my friends to help and arrange these! YL was so happy and excited the whole time. 

Initially i dont know what to plan for YL's birthday. Because we thought that we will just stay in SG, so i planned for a staycation. After doing some research etc, i suddenly thought of i could ask my friend for help. Finally hotel is done. Next i planned itinerary for the 3d2n.
When her birthday is near, i mailed YL a letter on her Birthday plans. LOL. And yes, YL was surprised of course.



Our Room! The bed is really so comfortable, WE ARE STILL MISSING IT NOW! FYI, it is named Heavenly Bed. 



Toilet. Clean and normal. 

Spacious area for you to apply your make up and brush teeth.... 

The toiletries amenities! 




There is a bathtub, and the shower is like rain-shower... The water flow is STRONG. LOL.

The complimentary water, tea and coffee. They are using coffee capsules, if you drink coffee - Good for you! Red wine and pringles are not free. haa. Moscato - MINE.

Minibar Fridge.

Wine Glass and Rock Glass.

View from our Room. When we look down, it is the Pool.

Tennis court

The view ahead. 

After settling down in the room, we nua awhile. 
Dinner was at PS Cafe. We heard good reviews about their Truffle fries and being a fans of Truffle fries, we must try!


The Coaster

The menu that is not printed. 

Its pretty dark in there. 

Truffle Fries $15! hehe. Very big portion! We only managed to finish half. 

Foie Gras Salad, with Brioche on the bottom, and figs. $20


Mushroom Wellington $26. We didnt like this and ate 1/4 of it only. In the end, we asked to void this item from our check - successfully. Well, we asked for void not because we are stingy but we felt it is not worth paying. 


Make reservation at least 2 days in advance! They have 4 outlets.
The one i went is Palais.
PS Cafe at Palais
Level 2, Palais Shopping Centre
390 Orchard Road

After the dinner, we went to watch Despicable Me 2 ! hahahaha. I still prefer part 1, ITS SO FLUFFY IM GONNA DIE! LOL. 

My darling friend set up everything for me... So when we went back, all these are on our table! 

Moscato and Moet Chandon - Chilled!
