Weekend Stay at Pan Pacific

To celebrate our 5th ROM anniversary, we decided to check in to Pan Pacific hotel at Marina. It's also a good break after my reservist duties and make up the time lost with Baby A :)

We had almost tried all the hotels in the Marina area, like Fairmont, Swissotel, Oriental and Ritz Carlton. Pan Pacific sounds like a logical choice as we wanted to stay in this area and it has high floors, which hopefully offer a scenic view.

Did manage to bring my tripod along this time. The landscape kept changing over the years. This year, the Marina Bay Resorts came into operation.



As usual, after check-in, it's off to Marvelous Cream at Citylink Mall. Baby finally get to see what Mum and Dad are crazy about :)



We didn't like the food at Global Kitchen in Pan Pacific so we decided to hop over to Oscar's at Conrad Centennial next door. We had quite a good experience last time we went there.

Again, the food didn't disappoint. Managed to snap a few shots before I were stopped by one of the staff.



I realised that it's never easy to take photos with babies. They never look towards the camera. Hehe, only Mum and Dad were smiling.



Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a night show from the room.



Baby A seemed to enjoy himself as usual.



He didn't get left out. He had a nice porridge with freshly mashed banana for breakfast.





Well, although we did enjoy the time together, we couldn't really say the same for the room and service at Pan Pacific itself. The door to the bathroom is lourved, so the noise from the shower disturbed Baby's sleep. We asked for a baby high chair but it never came. There's no shaving kit for me ... Room is smaller than Ritz, Fairmont and Swissotel. Calls to the Service Desk are not picked up immediately but placed on hold. Guess we won't be going back in the future ...

Afternoon Tea at Pan Pacific Hotel

After the photo shoot, it's time for some snacks. The cakes and tarts are nice! So are the sandwiches, what can I say? They are my favourite ham and cheese!



On seeing that CP is pregnant, they offered her complimentary juice instead of coffee or tea. I thought that was quite a nice touch!

To end off this year's ritual, I booked a one night stay at Ritz Carlton Millenia hotel. I always wanted to enjoy their "open" bathrooms!



High Tea over at Pan Pacific's Global Kitchen



Seems I've gotten it wrong. It's just normal buffet high-tea, not English afternoon tea. That is over at the Atrium downstairs ... Anyway, food is really a no no. I can't imagine why is packed, maybe it's buffet. Mostly local fare which I can't imagine paying $32++. Not a lot of selections. Some of the forgettable stuff include mee goreng that isn't spicy and overly sweet almond jelly.

Dinnertime, we are still quite full. After a hot soak at the bathtub, we chanced upon Jack's place. I feel the need for steak and non-expensive steak at that.

CP ordered lobster @ $55++. It sure beat my ribeye steak in the taste department.


Shitake Mushroom Soup

Bland and tasteless.

Ribeye steak.

Firm texture but tasteless. Now we know why the steak cost $20 and those at fine dining restaurants cost $80.

Breakfast at Greenhouse in the hotel.
