Hotel Fort Canning - Staycation

Having a staycation at Hotel Fort Canning cos Rafi is holding his wedding dinner there.

Met up with Angela & Doreen for lunch at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe at Plaza Singapura before checking-in. After lunch, we went Cold Storage to buy some drinks then cab to the hotel

Hotel Fort Canning

Entrance of the main lobby with CNY decors all up

We booked a twin-sharing Deluxe room @ $285++

The twin-sharing deluxe room has got 2 different concept - Open & partial-open concept! 

Since those sharing the room are of different gender, I opt for the partial-open concept where the bathtub is is the toilet & with blinds to draw down for privacy. 

How about Open concept? the bathtub is in the bedroom & the is with frosted sliding door! ooh~la~la~ .. so sexy oh~~ good for couples planning for a romantic/ sexy get-away!

If you're adventurous or feeling naughty, leave the blind open for the other window! hahaha

Amenities in the toilet 

Complimentary drinks in the room. 

*OK, gotta run! Need to go get prepared for Rafi & Keeris's solemnization & then be the recept for the wedding dinner!

Back! But too late to continue.. shall sleep & explore the hotel tomorrow~  

Good Morning, Sunday! 

Wanted to go collect some sun, but was too tired & lazy to wake up, so end up lazing on the bed. Nevertheless, we still went to check out the poolside before checking out 

Angela & Mike went to check the complimentary drinks station at the lobby while I check out at the counter

Just as we were about to leave, it started to rain. Thus, we hang around at the hotel lobby & enjoy a cup of coffee/tea & some biscuits while waiting for the rain to stop

Didn't really have time to fully check out the hotel's facility cos of the wedding, but I must say the staffs here are very friendly & helpful. Hopefully I can have another staycation again soon. Probably arrange one with Angela & Ivy before Ivy takes up the job offer in Shanghai

Went for lunch at Hot Tomato at Plaza Singapura for lunch before heading home

Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe

Kogu called on Sunday just when I'm done making egg roll, so he came to pick me up for supper as they have not had their dinner. Went to pick Nizam, then head to Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe at Tiong Plaza for our dinner/ supper

Our drinks - Lychee Tea, Sour Plum Coke (x2), Matcha Ice Blend 

Sour Plum Coke doesn't have the taste of sour plum at all.

Sides for sharing - Fried Calamari

Chicken in Basket

All-time favorite, Custard Bun. One of the better ones as the custard still flows evern when the bun is cooled.

Jenny's Instant noodle with ham & egg

My Chicken Chop. Chicken chop is tender & sauce is nice

Kogu's Black Pepper Chop

Nizam's Yin Yong Prawn Noodle - mixture of horfun & crispy beehoon

Fungus for Nizam's dessert

Service here is quite prompt & the aunties working late night are very friendly too.

Cycling & Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe

The Voodoos organized another cycling outing at East Coast Park cos they says I need a refresh course after training session. During the training session, I only cycle less than a hour. This time, I manage to cycle on my own for close to 2 hours without anyone holding the bicycle!

With my little backpack, adidas shoe & tupperware tumbler, I'm ready!

Since I'm early, I had my late lunch at McDonald's first while waiting for them to arrive. I ordered Samurai Burger Meal with additional Hot Fudge Sundae. Honestly, I still prefer Samurai burger without mayonnaise & lettuce to taste the original teriyaki sauce. The pool of sauce you see at the side, it's a mixture of garlic chilli + ketchup + black pepper. I swear, this is the best sauce combination for fries. Another way of enjoying the fries is to dip it in hot fudge sundae. You're really got to try it!

Met up with the rest & we girls (Penny, myself, Angela & Ivy) took a picture while Whye Wan & Wencai went to meet Raymond at the carpark cos he couldn't find his way.. Zzzzz

While cycling, I almost hit a baby in pram cos the whole Muslim family of 8 was walking a straight line on the bicycle track & block the entire track! Luckily I manage to "siam" them but almost fall from my bike. When Ivy told them to stay on the pedestrian track as it is not only dangerous for cyclist, it is also dangerous for them especially when they have a baby in pram, one of the guy mumble to his family in Malay to ignore us! Honestly, what's wrong with these people? So inconsiderate can?! Sometimes I really wonder if they understand English or just simply inconsiderate!

We continue our ride & finally reached McDonald's. As I'm quite tired, I asked them to go ahead while I rest my feet cos my butt is super painful =D

After resting for awhile, I slowly make my way back to the bicycle rental shop (Lifestyle Bike N Skate) before heading to Changi Airport Terminal 3 for dinner

Every restaurant has a super long snake queue, so we ended up at 新旺香港茶餐厅 

As we're in such a big group, we waited for an hour or so to get a table. Thus, took some pictures while waiting

Stew Beef noodle. noodle texture was just right & the beef is very tender. Radish on the other hard is not as soft as expected

Chives Dumpling. Pan fried to golden brown on one side while the it's moist on the other side. Fresh ingredients inside are juicy

Custard Bun is nice with custard flowing out even when the bun has cool down.

Prawn wrap in beancurd skin. Prawn inside is fresh & sweet but it's slightly oily

Complimentary Beancurd with Mango if you spend $50 in a single receipt & charged it to any POSB/DBS card

Ice jelly with watermelon, longan & pearls
