Marina Bay Sands: Premier Room ★

Premier Room

It was another impromptu stay over at Marina Bay Sands with my sister. It has been a long time since I stayed at Marina Bay Sands so I called dad to book a room for us! As it was a one night stay for the both of us only, I requested for a Deluxe Room.

Deluxe Room is the smallest room so I guessed it's cheaper but dad told me that the differential in prices between both rooms at that time was very minimal so he got us a slightly bigger room for our comfort :)

PREMIER ROOM

When I stay in the Rooms (and most hotels), I feel sick and couldn't stop sneezing. I found out from my friends (who are working at MBS) that the bed sheets are filled with dusts and it wasn't a good news for someone with SINUS like me :'(

♥ One thing I love about Marina Bay Sands is their bathrooms!!!!!!! ♥
And they have a least one bathtub in EVERY room/suite (Presidential Suite has 3!). I only use hotel bathtub in certain hotels.

The first thing I would do when I go to every hotel is to check their bathroom because it's the most important part of my stay in the hotel!

Anyone with the same pet peeve?

I persuaded mum to go to the gym with us but she didn't stay over :(

It was her first time at the gym and also her first time exercising with us :) We did some cardio at the cardio room before going to the weights room and lastly, sauna & steam bath!

Since there were only 3 of us, we decided to go for something simple, yummy and inexpensive (as compared to other restaurants/cafes in Marina Bay Sands) so we opted for the food court, 

Rasapura

I gave mum and sister a treat since it didn't cost more than $100!

Childhood drink :)

There's a variety of cuisines at Rasapura but our favourite stall is the Seafood BBQ stall.

My aunt brought us there once and since then, whenever we go to MBS in a group of two or three, we would order food from this stall.

I would recommend anyone who wishes to go for yummy and inexpensive food in Marina Bay Sands! It would be worth it if you go with your family :)

Here are our top favourites from the Seafood BBQ stall!

FRIED BABY SOTONGS!
Accompanied by some healthy cucumbers, the sotongs were fried to perfection with a tinge of sweetness. It was also a lil spicy but it was manageable for us except my younger sister who can't eat spicy food.

SHELLFISH!
I'm a fan of shellfish and I got to say this is one of the best dish I've eaten in a food court. The sauce had a mixture of sweetness and spiciness and I couldn't help but to serve over my rice :D

STINGRAY!
Being a Serangoon Gardener, I can tell you Chomp Chomp is OVER RATED. People go there for the name. I agree that the standards of the food in Chomp Chomp deserved 5 out of 5 stars in the past but over the years, standards have dropped.

The price of the stingray in Rasapura is slightly higher than that of Chomp Chomp but it is definitely more worth it.

The plan to chill at FUSE at night, failed (Wen, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. Next one will be a success.)

We had breakfast at The Club @ Marina Bay Sands.

Staying in Deluxe and Premier Room doesn't include complimentary breakfast at The Club but we still had our complimentary breakfast there because....... yeah

You can't expect a 100% good quality for complimentary food but we had to fill our stomach in the morning.

I am utterly disgusted by The Club's custard bun! I'm never going to get the custard bun again. It's cold and hard from the inside :(

It was a clear and beautiful morning at the Skypark before I left for home to my babies :)

I have this habit of waking up early when I stay in hotels because I don't skip breakfast and I don't want to queue so this is right time to display the kiasu side of me :)

Anyway, I had to go to school for (Finance & International Trade) lecture and tutorial too.

6AM in the suite and I was the only one awake......

We can choose to enjoy our complimentary breakfast buffet on Sky on 57 or The Club @ Marina Bay Sands but my aunt and I chose Sky on 57 because it's exclusively for guests who stay in suites and of course, it is more spacious and not as crowded as The Club :)

Sky on 57 ★

★ Sauteed Mushrooms/Baked Beans/Hash Browns/Chicken Sausage ★

Start the day right with a bowl of congee :)

★ Eggs Benedict/Ham ★

★ Chocolate and Vanilla Muffins/Peach and Chocolate Tarts ★

The chauffeur sent me back to the hotel from school and I spent my afternoon in the suite, watching TV and singing in the karaoke room with my cousin! :)

Ready for afternoon/high tea at The Club @ Marina Bay Sands with my cousin and puppygirl ♥

The Club @ Marina Bay Sands ★

I wasn't pleased with the standard and variety of the food on that day. Alright, maybe the I'll give the cod fish some credits because it's sweet and the sauce was tad spicy which was to my liking :)

The standard of fried chicken wasn't bad as well because it's warm and tender. Besides that, everything else was just mediocre. Way below my expectation :(

★ Focaccia Bread/Parmesan Crackers ★

The bread was as cold and as hard as stone! The flavor of the parmesan cheese wasn't that strong as well.

We went back to the suite and sang karaoke again! A tai tai life like this is probably every woman's dream...... :)

I grew up listening to Michael Learns To Rock songs!!!!! v(♥.♥)v

Complimentary nyonya snacks from MBS for our break ★ We felt so pampered!!!!!!!

My relatives and sister's friends came over at night and I had few hours of peace before their "party" started :)

Two awesome nights in Marina Bay Sands Presidential Suite and there are few more rooms/suites to explore before I complete my checklist!

I have to study for my exams now so see you guys again in a bit!

It was my birthday (14 December) and I really can't be more thankful than I already am because I get to celebrate this special day with my loved ones ♥ :)

He observed that my phone doesn't have long battery life so he got me something that will save my phone battery. I was thinking of portable charger but he refused to tell me because he wanted me to unwrap my present and be surprised :')

I almost teared when I unwrapped my present because I didn't expect this..... it also has my nickname engraved on it (my family calls me NANA). It's such a thoughtful present ♥

Continued our Project 22 (Gastronomia & Christmas trees) after dinner :)

We name it project 22 because we got together on 22nd so we plan to take pictures with 22 Christmas trees, eat 22 cakes from Gastronomia and we will start on a new project soon. We will then print pictures and paste it on our sketchbook :)

Some people might laugh and think that it's childish but as long as we are happy, nothing else matters  :D

"It's my birthday today! Do I get any surprise????????? :D", I jokingly asked the hostess. When our dessert (Valrhona Chocolate Soufflé, Creme Fraiche Cream, Caramalized White Chocolate Ice Cream) was served, the host gave me the "surprise" and I made my dad sing a birthday song!

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

With my best friends ♥

A week before common tests, we already planned to visit Slappy Cakes together and few days before my birthday, we had lunch there!

Slappy Cakes is located in The Grandstand. They serve all-day breakfast and we can have DIY pancakes! OH, The Grandstand is such a cool place and it's so near to our school! Gotta go there more often :)

Our fixings: Crispy Bacon, Butter & Cheddar Cheese

The instagrammers :D

For the first batter, we chose whole grain *healthy* :D

Trying out the method from Food Hacks but our teddy bear failed.....

For the second batter, we chose peanut butter! Still prefer the whole grain :)

Thanks for the surprise treat girls! ♥ And the present is sooooooo cute!!!!!!!! (Donald Duck shirt I wore on my actual birthday and it will be shown in the next part of this post hehe)

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

With my aunts and cousins ♥

Spent the actual day at my aunt's place in Katong :)

When I was a kid, we always celebrate birthdays at my aunt's place. We just made jellies, buy cakes, order pizzas and my aunt's helpers would cook food and snacks. Our mums would also dress us up and take pictures together... I really miss those days :'(

Durian and chocolate cakes :D

He had swollen lymph nodes under his jaw so his face was swollen but he still joined us at my aunt's place. ♥ you so much!!!

Couldn't get a proper picture because the pictures disappeared in my aunt's iPad :(

★ Birthday wishes (same every year) ★

My loved ones (including my dogs!) will be healthy and happy every day! :D

Street dogs from all around the world be safe and happy! :D

And WORLD PEACE v(^^)v!!!!!!!
