Review: Crossroads Cafe, Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel (Singapore)

Crossroads Cafe is the main all-day buffet dining restaurant at Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel along Orchard Road. Thanks to a HSBC Wow weekend 1-for-1 promotion, my husband and I were enticed to give it another shot despite a rather mediocre breakfast experience during our last stay. The theme of the buffet this time was John … More Review: Crossroads Cafe, Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Coffee Lounge – Taiwan Porridge Buffet, Goodwood Park Hotel (Singapore)

During our last stay here at Goodwood Park Hotel, my husband and I didn’t get to dine at Coffee Lounge and check out the ambience as it was packed during breakfast. In addition, having heard many positive reviews of the Taiwan Porridge Buffet served here, an inevitable visit has been at the back of my … More Review: Coffee Lounge – Taiwan Porridge Buffet, Goodwood Park Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Peach Blossoms Restaurant, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay Hotel (Singapore)

During our recent stay here at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay Hotel, my husband and I didn’t have the opportunity to dine at Peach Blossoms as we had all our meals taken care of at the COLLECTION club lounge. Amazingly, I received a mailer from HSBC for one of their WOW weekend deals, which entailed $50 … More Review: Peach Blossoms Restaurant, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Oakwood Premier AMTD Hotel & Serviced Apartments (Singapore)

Yet another score from one of the HSBC WOW weekend promotions was this 1-night stay at Oakwood Premier AMTD Hotel! This property actually started out solely as serviced apartments but has since expanded its operations after applying for a hotel licence, so it now welcomes both long-stay and short-stay guests. Located in the heart of … More Review: Oakwood Premier AMTD Hotel & Serviced Apartments (Singapore)

Review: Raffles Hotel (Singapore) – Part 2

We began Day 2 with breakfast at the Tiffin Room! Established in 1892 and previously going by the name of ‘Currylicious’, this restaurant is said to be one of the oldest North Indian restaurants in Singapore known for presenting their dishes in tiffin boxes. Breakfast was served in an a la carte fashion with unlimited … More Review: Raffles Hotel (Singapore) – Part 2

Review: Raffles Hotel (Singapore) – Part 1

Ah, Raffles Hotel, the stuff of dreams. Think grand colonial architecture, elegant polished interiors, fascinating stories of old and personalized go-the-extra-mile type of service. Founded in 1887 by the Sarkies brothers, this heritage hotel has always evoked in me feelings of yearning mixed with resignation – yearning for the day I will finally amass enough … More Review: Raffles Hotel (Singapore) – Part 1

Review: Goodwood Park Hotel (Singapore)

Recognized for its significance in Singapore’s built heritage, Goodwood Park Hotel’s iconic Grand Tower was gazetted a national monument back in 1989 (another familiar Singapore national monument is The Fullerton Hotel). Its colonial architecture retains a sort of old-world charm and opulence that distinguishes it from its more contemporary hotel counterparts in Singapore. Spanning six … More Review: Goodwood Park Hotel (Singapore)
