Singapore 2012
Spending my last 2 weeks of leave this year in both Hong Kong and Singapore and actually was quite busy……
First of all my annual Singapore trip, this year I spent most of the time around Marina Bay area staying at 2 different Hotels, ..and redemption ticket on CX Regional Business Class quite a vintage product….
Luckily I have reserved the bulk head seat months ago……really after traveling with the non-AVOD inflight entertainment on this, I miss you a lot SQ Economy…….
ok…use my own……
A boring Salad, and the appetizer was quite blend in taste….
both main courses were quite good in taste , it would have been better if they’re not under heat….
Cheese and fruits….ooops forgot to take the pic of the fruits, Banana Chocolate cake
It was Down Pouring with countless Lightning and Thunder when we arrived Singapore Down town.. …..it actually looked like a scene from the movie “Day After Tomorrow’ or ’2012′
The Fullerton Bay Hotel Reception area
The room is equipped with nearly everything…….
After a couple of hours down pouring, I managed to take a picture under a clear sky…..
A light supper at the People’s Park Hawker Food Centre in China town
I just love those fish balls stuff with minced pork, a typical SIN style Laksa
Satay and a different kind of Carrot cake…..
Then went to a Gay Bar ‘DYMK‘ to meet up with friends….
Following late night snack with Congee at Tiong Shian Porridge, Chinatown Street
2nd day having breakfast
Though the selection of Buffet breakfast was simple, the quality of the food and service were real good…
Even at the Conrad, Grand Hyatt, Mandarin Oriental, Four Season, InterCon in Hong Kong I haven’t seen the staff replacing your used cutlery sets each time they come to clear you plate, but here at the Fullerton they serve in details….
just too bad they cannot choose their clientele
The pool is actually not a bad one…
Meeting up with friends for a late lunch….hahahah I didn’t eat much on this round just accompanied them
Mee Siam, the Carrot cake which is to my taste….
forgot the actual name of the noddle and the Kaya Toast with Soft Boiled eggs
Surprisingly it’s cool and comfy without an air-con….!
Just loving this home made dinner
Tomatoe Rice, Chicken Curry
Gado Gado(ooops which the sauce) stir-fried veggie
Asam Prawn
Back to the hotel and pampering myself with a hot bath while watching TV….
A small snack before heading to our next hotel , and please don’t ask me why, I just love KFC within SE Asia
Then the Marina Bay Sands, while they charge more than the Fullerton, I’m sorry to say they could not offer what they should be offering a Luxury Service, to me it’s big, just like one of those Las Vegas or even Macau Casino/Hotels, no personal touch, the staff just want to finish their job and get rid of you, that’s why you have all those in-room check out, express check out kind of service. you have to tell them to come to make up your room, because they don’t even bother to check whether you Make Up the room light is on or not if you have passed their schedule. During breakfast, since they have too many guests and they cannot accommodate all with teir 3 restaurants/cafe , table sharing is the only option, and the food is just like those Cheap Mr Foodie Buffet outlet - Starch in different forms are the main offerings, while the protein you can find are usually those thin sliced meat…….while the fruit, you can find the taste of stale……what’s more I can say the experience is totally a disappointment….ok be fair the one and only reason to be here is the Infinity Pool on the 57 floor….
I miss you The Fullerton Bay Hotel……
The pool , the one and only reason to be here…..
Dinner at the Marche I just love the food at this Swiss style restaurant
Seafood Paella, and the famous Swiss Crispy Rosti
Sauteed mushroom with cognac, Roasted Pig Knuckle
Bouillabaisse
A a fattening dessert at the Swensen’s
The EarthQuake
ok Here the breakfast at the Marina Bay Sands
Though the the breakfast is included with the room rate, after such a bad experience, I decided not to have it the next morning….
Light snack after spending over an hour at the pool
coffee from The Coffee Bean and Tea, and a local Chee Cheong Fun
a rather new attraction Garden by the Bay
Flower Dome
Dinner with another group of friends at the Strait Kitchen Grand Hyatt
A local food Buffet, is like a fine dinning Hawker food but the quality is a much more better…..
This Roasted goose is really good…..and lots of tropical fruit
last but not least….bought some pork jerky b4 leaving….
As I have mentioned before, I have given up the breakfast at the Marina Bay Sands to the food court with some simple Pinoy food
Heading to the airport on the MRT
the Skyview Lounge, actually an ex- CX Lounge which she has decided to let others to take over
on the way back to Hong Kong on semi vintage Regional Business Class product

Sounds like you had a “eating” trip! I’ll try the Fullerton Bay Hotel and buffet at the Hyatt on my next visit to the Lion City.
@CurryPuffy - true…an eating n meet up with friends trip….
if you’re not going to stay at the Fullerton Bay , can have a High Tea set at their Landing Point, seems like a popular place for the locals….
Looks like a good trip. We went to DYMK last time we were in Singapore. Cute place, nice crowd.
@christao408 - it’s quite a nice hang out place……
omg. were we both in spore in the same weekend? i was just there last week from the 7th-9th.
@rudyhou - wow….that’s nice….. I was there a bit earlier 23-27NOV
@agmhkg - ah. missed you by a week
Wow… lots of pictures! The room at the Fullerton looks very nice and I like the “f” on the coffee. All those food pictures are making my tummy growl.
@ElusiveWords – I think Fullerton will not disappoint you
