Mark and I went for another short hotel stay over the last weekend as a pre-birthday celebration for me, as well as an 'escape from Hershey' getaway. The recent hotel stays have made me realize that Singapore's city skyline is changing so fast, and I do like the new skyline a lot. Frankly, it's not as iconic as Sydney's Darling Harbour with the Opera House, nor is it as majestic as the view of Hong Kong island from the Kowloon side, but it gives us an 'identity'.
The view from our room was lovely, but alas, we had to miss the fireworks that'd have taken place right in front of our window because we had to go to a pre-arranged family outing.
It was a very lovely day on the day we checked in, so immediately after putting down our stuff in the room, we changed and went to the pool. The color of the sky was incredibly bue and the cloud formations had my complete attention for quite a while. Although we already had a heavy breakfast, we ordered a Club Sandwich to share because we simply couldn't resist it.
The nice folks from the hotel gave me a bottle of champagne and a birthday cake as a surprise... and that night, after our family outing, Mark planned for some of our friends to come over for drinks (and more cake!!!).
Lunch the following day was very memorable too. We went to the Italian restaurant (Dolce Vita)for their champagne lunch. It's my first time tasting food prepared by a Michelin star chef, and the amount of food they served us blew my mind away. Basically Mark tried every single dish they had listed on the menu below, i.e. 8 Starters, 12 Main Courses and 4 Desserts. (I surrendered after sampling all the starters but Mark went all the way).
