Rose & Berries Sangria (S$19)

PS Fries (S$12)

Crab Tart (S$32)

Crab meat in tart, a new taste for me.

Rustic Ribeye & Mushroom Stew (S$38)

The slow cooked meat is juicy and soft. I liked it.

Settled the main course, we skipped the cafe's coffee and had it at Hotel's Signature Club Lounge. Coffee and tea with tv under oriental atmosphere, nice.

TWG Selection

Next morning before breakfast at Premier Lounge, we visited the swimming pool. Club room guest can choose to have breakfast at Signature Club Lounge or Premier Lounge or Orchard Cafe at lobby. Basically breakfast spread is the same, Signature Club Lounge a bit lesser, at Orchard Cafe we expect to have breakfast with hotel's crowd. In view of breakfast spread and privacy, that's why we selected to have it at Premier Lounge.

After checked out, we took MRT train to Orchard Central. Wife wanted to visit the newly opened Pompompurin Cafe. It is a cartoon theme cafe showcase Pompompurin a cartoon character under Sanrio umbrella. Sanrio is a company famous of its well-known cartoon Hello Kitty. Too bad, the queue of the cafe was too long. We switched to Lady M Cafe. Lady M, started its first cafe in New York, with its world-famous Mille Crepes cake and other deserts, it spread to Asia region - Hong Kong and Singapore.
