Staycation at Fairmont

The much anticipated staycation turned out to be quite a damper when A developed high fever just days before the stay!

The last time we went (last year) he had fever too! However, it did not stop him from eating the chips with gusto later on ...

The Fairmont Premier room. Newly renovated. However, this was much smaller than the Premier room we stayed in last year. Room rate is $248++, includes breakfast. I had a room upgrade using a Feed at Raffles voucher.

I really liked this soap! Le Labo Rose 31. Can't seem to find it anywhere in Singapore.

Our signature photo. This was a rather impromptu pose by the kids but it turned out to be the best.

In-room dining. I had bourbon coke, CP had Singapore Sling and we all had chips.




Dinner was at Prego's. I found out that OCBC had a better offer than Feed at Raffles' discount. 30% off compared to FAR's 25%. Good. My parents joined us too and they were pretty ok with the food.

A had seabass and a bit of spaghetti from B's plate. Rather expensive for the little portion of fish though.

Delicious bread.

I found we kept ordering back the same appetizers. Maybe because they were good ... here was poached octopus - Insalata di Polpo.

Pan-seared scallops - Capesante.

Seared foie-gras. Good, cripsy on the outside, soft on the inside - Fegato Grasso.

Linguine Vongole e Bottarga - Too salty. Now I faintly remembered we did say it was salty before ... oops ... hopefully not for the next time. It did go well with the bread.

Hawaii pizza. I liked thin-crust pizzas!

Roasted pork belly - Pancetta de Maiale. Very good. Crispy skin with juicy fats and succulent meat.

Desserts, pana cotta. Nice, milky and creamy.

Of course, we all liked the tiramisu!

Nothing much had changed at Prego's after all these years.

The bar Anti:dote seemed interesting. So after a short rest, we headed down for drinks. The kids were wild over the chips again. B even took the empty bowl to ask for seconds.

CP had the Corpse Reviver ... It's sour ...  No wonder it could bring the dead back to life!

I had the Marina Julep ... It tasted like medicine :(

The kids munching on the chips like there was no tomorrow.

Breakfast was good. Good selection of food.

Marina Bay Sands Free Staycation

We had a free night stay, thanks to someone ... I wouldn't be too keen if I were to pay ... I felt that MBS was too crowded.

The room seemed nice, especially the bathtub. Service was good too. We had in-room dining.

Ordered a prime beef burger, warm chocolate tart with praline ice-cream, Singapore Sling and Tequila Sunrise. The ice-cream was such a huge portion, much like a mini-tub. Definietely worth the price.

Breakfast was of course good. My first and only criteria of a good breakfast was that they could do sunny-side up eggs, something which RWS had do away with. Well, it helped that MBS had a carving station of honey-baked ham, nice dim sum, salted butter, juices, soy milk and wide selection of bread.

B enjoying her sunny-side up egg.

A enjoying his favourite noodles.

I like western breakfast.

I only hated the long walk to the carpark and the crowded and boring infinity pool at the top ...

Another Staycation

I got word of this offer from Feed at Raffles membership. $200++ for a night stay at Fairmont Hotel, inclusive of breakfast and dinner!

What a deal, how can we not take it?!! So off we went for our 4th hotel stay this year with Baby A.

Initially we were given this rather cramped and dark room, with a long walkway.




However, CP and I had stayed here before and we know the room was much better. Baby A also started to whine the moment he stepped in. So we requested for a change of room. After some hassling with the front desk, they managed to give us another one.

Much better now!


No complains with this. I really like the spacious bathroom with raindrop shower.



Dinner is complimentary, at Plaza Market Cafe. Service was quite bad. No one clear our plates and we had to wait about 30 min for the baby chair, even though we had a reservation. I doubt I'll ever go there again. Food is local asian, with a bbq grill section.


Breakfast is at Prego. Again, we waited very long for a baby chair. What's with this hotel ... they had a lack of baby chairs ...


Huge pot of coffee ...


After breakfast, Baby A had a swim. He was scared of the water still. Halfway through, he simply gave up struggling and lay on the float to sleep.


After that, it's checkout time and a rush to another birthday party!
