Birthday Celebration Part 2 - Mandarin Oriental Singapore - Staycation~ Paradise Inn - Dinner ~

Exciting part of my Birthday Celebration is ~

Staycation @ Mandarin Oriental Singapore ~

Where I held my wedding banquet at~

[NO post on wedding yet cos i am STILL waiting for the photos from the camera man from the bridal Studio~]

I or I should say WE [Mr Lee also] fell in love with this hotel DEEPLY~

Mr Lee is not some 1 who speak up or show he like or dun like something~

So, if he mention or say he really like means REALLY REALLY LIKE~

HeeHee~ 

Can See how much love we have for this hotel?

HeeHee~

I hope this hotel always have such standard, don't drop and keep improving~

Mr Lee mention that, when he check in at the reception, [no photos as too many ppl at the lobby area at that time] he was greeted by the reception "Welcome Back! Mr Lee~"

I was not with him @ that moment, so i believe he is really impressed by the service~

THou many will say, that is normal, but come to think of it, not all service staff do that~

and you don't get it ANYWHERE~

HeeHee~

The Lobby Area~ 

1st time, in my life, someone lead us up to the hotel room [other then when we have our wedding banquet]

Is def not the bell boy, is a lady~ 

She bring us up to the room, open the door for us, intro the room to us and wish us a good stay!

I never experience such service before, I definitely a mountain turtle~ HeeHee

We also got a free upg to Ocean View Room and a LATE Check out~

[All this is subject to availability]

That is what we all look for when Staycation~ HeeHee~

It may be due to is my birthday and a nice gesture from the Hotel~

"OMG~ even the chair is comfortable"

Wahaha~

But their in room slipper is so soft that, i can't help but keep wearing it~ *Silly*

See Through Toilet~

Really Beautiful View~

After resting, we decided to walk ard the hotel and take pics~

Interior~

They have this Zen Feel area for Guest who do Yoga~

Just outside the fitness room~

Inside the fitness room

Towels 

and selected drinks are provided~

No Pics on the machine as there are other guest doing their workout, not very nice of me to take a pic~

Swimming Pool is on the same level with fitness room~

THey have very nice benches, sun bed and tend for guest to laze around the pool~

Baby Pool ~~

Baby Pool~

There are a lot of guest at the pool area, so we did not stay at the pool area~

Which make me very regret ~

No swim, so we took photos beside the pretty pool~

Shenton Way / Office Area View from the Pool Area~

The sun is really hot~ No rain for many days in Singapore~

We quickly return to the room to enjoy the aircon and the wine we brought~

How can there be NO wine for celebrations?

HeeHee~

*Ding Dong*

Here come the complimentary Cake From The Hotel~

Yummy Chocolate Cake ~

I keep jump around when I took the 1st mouth~ 

Its so yummy~ Hmmp~~

And I forgot eat the dessert on my wedding day~

I think they do very good chocolate cake ? 

The dessert for my wedding banquet which is hazel royal choco cake [ I think so ] also very nice~

Many guest ask for more serving ~

After all the eating, drinking and photo taking ~ 

We took a nap~ Cos the bed is too good~ 

The nap is a little too long~ By the time we woke up is already Dinner time ~ 

HeeHee~

WAnted to try the buffet dinner at the hotel, but due to the heavy lunch~ 

We doubt we can eat that much, so we decided to walk to Marina Square [ nearby Shopping Mall] to have dinner~ HeeHee~

We bath and refresh ourself~ 

[ I flood the toilet while bathing :~( ]

and Head out for dinner ~ 

I don't want anything from food court or fast food for my birthday dinner~

We selected Paradise Inn Restaurant~

1 of our favorite restaurant~

Their soup is a must when ever we visit, but due to the price of the food is on the high side for us~

We only visit when there is celebration or when we want GOOD food~ 

Wahaha~

Us @ Paradise Inn Marina Square ~

They usually serve food very fast~

But this visit they took really long time to serve the food and we had order the food at the reception area  before we were lead to our table ~ 

They even missed out our order for the soup ~ 

:~(

The soup supposed to be served 1st but it end up to be the last~

Really Like their utensils ~

Always nicely set up ~

Jelly Fish~

Don't be deceive by the plain look, it is marinated and it taste good~ 

Salty Egg with Mince Meat~

Fish ~

Veg with 3 types of egg~

Must finish the "sauce" is Good~ 

It goes really well with rice too ~

Wasabi Prawn~

Here comes my long waited soup~

I like the way they serve their soup~

The soup is kept warm throughout~

Their staff will always come and top up the soup for us~

Which i really like~

For people who like to do the top up themselves, please be caution~ 

The pot is hot~ 

HeeHee~ 

I love the chicken feet in the soup~~ 

The ingredient of the soup is boiled till soft~ 

The Meat can remove easily from the bones~

Be it the chicken feet or pork rips~ 

I am really really VERY VERY FULL when I finish the dinner~

I really can't let any drops of soup go to waste~

HeeHee~

We walked around the mall for a while and return to the cosy room!

I just want to spend more time in the room~

Service of Mandarin Oriental is really good~

When we are back to the room, we were shocked~

Expecting a messy bed, toilet, chair and table~

But what welcome us was actually a packed room~

They have arranged the chair, bed, clear away the cake tray and also cleared up the toilet~

They even top up the shampoo and soap which we have used~

I am REALLY IMPRESSED~

Anyone coming to Singapore or wish to Staycation~ 

Please choose Mandarin Oriental~

HeeHee~

I am really impressed by them till i share my experience with all my friends~ wahaha

Nice Night View~

Our stay inclusive of Breakfast @ The Melt

I ensure that the Staycation include Breakfast as We missed the breakfast during our stay for our Wedding banquet~ As we both was REALLY TIRED~

Which Make me very upset~

Hee Hee~

So this time I set alarm clock to ensure we both wake up on time to enjoy the breakfast!

Once we reached the restaurant and inform them our room number~

We were greeted " Good Morning Mr and Mrs Lee!"

HeeHee~

Before we were brought to our seats, the staff ask if we are familiar with restaurant...

The lady bring us ard the buffet and introduce us when she know that it is our 1st time~

Of course, again~ 

I am impressed  by the service~

  

No much pic for the buffet as is a weekend~ Many people at the restaurant~

Many photo taken are block by people~

Table set up~

Premium Ham~

Their egg benedict is pre-preapred~

Can you see the oozing eye yoke from the egg benedict?

I am surprise to see that, as the egg is prepared and kept on heated food tray~

Which usually the egg yoke will be harden~

Don't miss out the harsh brown~ potato inside is not crushed/cubed 

IT IS MASHED~

Cheese~ Lots of Variety for Cheese Lover ~

Healthy Choice~ 

Cold Noodles~

Diff Type of Milks ~ Include Soy Milk~

Gluten Free Bread~

Freshly Squeeze Juice~

The juice was served to us when we sat down~

So nice of them~

Different type of jams for the Waffles~

Pastries~

Dim Sum~

Toasted Bread and Tuna Mushroom Pastry~

Freshly made Egg Omelette ~

Seafood Noodle Soup~

Cold Noodle and Nasi Lemak [Behind]

Healthy Traffic Lights~

The breakfast has lots of variety and the food they serve is a premium standard to me~

The ham, harsh brown, gluten free bread, egg benedict~

The spread of the breakfast suit anyone who have different eating lifestyle~ 

After breakfast, back to the room to get ready for a swim in the pool~~

But~~ IT rained~

This rain make me upset and happy~

Upset as I did not have the chance to swim in the nice pool which I also missed the chance to do it on my Wedding Stay

Happy, because Singapore have no rain for nearly 2 months? The plants all turn yellow~

HaizZ~

Nothing much to do, we watch TV in room all the way till our late check out~

:(

Last selfie @ the Lobby with we check out~

Mandarin Oriental has really good service~

Lots of personal touched~

It always leave us with lots of good memories when ever we leave~

15 March 2014 Birthday Celebration Part 1

This year celebration was simple and warm ~ 

Vegetarian Lunch with My Parent~ Sister ~ Aunt [Ah Yi]~ and Of course my Hubby~ Mr Lee ~

My family practice to be a day vegetarian on the 1st and 15th of Lunar / Chinese calendar and this year,  my birthday land on 1 of this day~

So my mum suggested to have vegetarian instead on normal buffet~

Some may think, its BIRTHDAY~ 

Should just skip the vegetarian and celebrate it~

But, to me, as long everyone sit down and have a meal together happily~ 

It does not really matters is it veg or meat~ Wahaha~

At the time same, i am more excited on my Part 2 Celebration ~ HeeHee~

Table Full of Food~

The Yam Ring of this Vegetarian Restaurant is very nice~

The yam is really mashy and soft ~ 

The other must try items is the 

Curry veg~ 

Fried Spring Roll~

Sweet and Sour Peanut Beancurd~

Was a little too hungry and i forgot to take individual pic~ waha~

Other then the food is nice~ They are also closing as the building is taking over by the government [which the building will be pull down] and hear that they will not be relocating as all the staff is old already~

Thank You Mummy

Having lots of conflicts with her for this period of time when I am busy and stressful preparing for my wedding...

I thank her for betraying my trust that she will prepare the food for the guest on my 过大礼 day... Which she promise d and did not do it... Cos we did not ans to her question....

She also threaten that she will be out of the house with her car and ask us to settle it ourself .. knowing that we need the car to distribute the invitation all over the world...

Grateful that she only did not prepare for the food.... and caused me lots of stress and unhappiness. ..

安床.... out of no where... the night b4 she claims she is not important and will not be at home... as she 1 2 send the car to repair....

Luckily the next day she manage to be back home on time...

Night before going to ROM @ Fort Canning .... She asked me is the MUA staying me throughout the banquet... I say... kind of... knowing that she is super sensitive. ... I process in my brain and adjust my tone and told her nicely... the MUA will not touch up her make up for her... She accused me saying that she show concern and  I shoot her back with nasty words like dun hope for MUA will touch up her make up...

We argued! And she purposely SIGN... loudly and say she is not happy at all with this wedding... Asking Mr Lee is he happy? Happy hor? But I (she) not happy at all!

Claiming that she is like a maid... Work a lot... Clean up the whole house... Seriously which mum dun do housework? Which mum dun do such preparation for their daughter wedding....???

She said she wanted to give me more for my wedding... But cos of my attitude. .. She is not giving...

I cannot believe she say this to me... She said she got a chain for me.. To wear for my wedding ... Must return to her after the wedding...

I seriously could not understand this... is that chain for a show? Or is it sincerely given to me?

Throughout the preparation... I did not ask for much help or suggestion from her...

To get a good date for wedding... I have a master intro by my cousin... @$130 for 3 dates .... actual day... an chuang... guo da li...

The master she find...  $200  plus for 1 date...

Selecting the hotel for banquet...

Invited her along to view the hotel... she will suddenly say on on on ... this hotel... asked her why on this hotel .. she cannot ans. ..

Out of no where... she sudden not happy and say she dun 1 2 invite any guest to the wedding as she might not be there...

Wow wow wow...

All kind of suggestion for food tasting...
Change menu... change items in the dish.. adding additional items...

Non stop nagging to achieve what she wants...! I really had enough ...!

2 more days to my wedding...

Many ask... am I excited? My ans is NO!

Till just now... as she have 1 empty slot in her friend guest list.. I asked.. I will slot 1 person in... she say cant as she 1 2 get 1 person who cant confirm...

She insist to reserve the seat for that person...

Wanted us to slot it to other table which already have 10 pax...

Seriosuly... is paying double... paying for a empty seat of 1 table and pay at another table to get 1 more seat...

So so so so so much more... which could not pen it down...

Feelings~

This 1 whole yr i didnt blog much or didnt blog at all cos im busy with my wedding preparation ~

This Happy event has lots of unhappiness ... due to family .... i really have a hard time struggling ~ ~

Advice to people who dun like trouble ~ dun organise anny banquet... just do it as simple as possible ~
