Celebrating mid-20s Part II

Here comes my pretty bday pressie and a complimentary staycation at Fullerton Bay Hotel for a night from larling's parents. I'm very thankful that I've such a wonderful bday celebration this year :))

I've finally got a Miu Miu!
What a beauty..
Super hearts!











The night before the stay, dinner was at Paradise Dynasty, Ion Orchard

Finally get to try their famous colourful Xiao Long Bao.

I like their original and Sze Chuan spicy.

Their baos are very soupy and it's a good alternative to Ding Tai Fung if you're ready to brace the long queue




White colour (original)

Green colour (ginseng)

Brown colour (foie gras)

Grey colour (garlic)

Black colour (black truffle)

Yellow colour (cheese)

Orange colour (crab roe)

Pink colour (Szechuan)

At first we thought it's Fullerton Hotel, but actually ours is Fullerton Bay Hotel. It's a new addition at the marinabay front along Collyer Quay.


It belongs to the same family as Fullerton Hotel, but the Fullerton exudes a vintage feel while the Bay gives a modern look.


Beehive-looking chandelier at the lobby






Some of the pictures obtained from their website gallery:


That's their rooftop pool with Lantern.

A nice place to chill at night.








That's our deluxe room


In the spacious bathroom








I love king beds.

Only king beds can make me snore and sleep till daybreak
















At the balcony



Their room slippers are so comfy that I brought them home.

They even have a female size and male size

Very sweet!






Nespresso

We drank two cups before going out for dinner and movie.

When we were back, they topped up the capsules, filled ice bucket with ice and made the bed for us!

Impeccable service!









See-through bathroom
Such concepts are getting common, but still cool max





Normally I don't use a hotel's bathtub as too much water will be wasted and you won't know how clean is the tub,
BUT,
upon seeing that bathsalt is provided and the tv is mounted atop the bathtub, it's too tempting to say no!!




































Toiletries kept in tubes





Look at how neat the paper clips were arranged.



This Bose sound system is quite good,

compact yet powerful
























We went up to the rooftop to take a look

Their in-house club, Lantern is just beside the pool.

At the main lobby..







Went over to Suntec for steamboat buffet at Joaquim.

On a rainy brr day, we were craving for steamboat.

Wanted to try Chong Qing but it was far too exp (SGD36++) while Joaquim was only $26nett




Individual steamboats

They didn't serve pork for a couple of wks due to Hari Raya festive, so meat selection that day was quite limited - only chicken and beef










Tin Tin movie after that

Larling's sis has Snowy soft toy!

How nice if he's real






Stroll back to hotel..


Impressive night shots all thanks to larling's fujifilm X100

















But I find it difficult to use as it's too technical








Breakfast at Clifford








Happy me after having a hearty breakfast!



10 thumbs up for Fullerton Bay!
