Our third anniversary (Part 2)

We were looking forward to Part 2 of our staycation as this time round we were more prepared and were ready to have a blast. P surprised me by requesting for a room on the higher floor (32nd floor) and facing the city. The view was truly awesome and breathtaking. We actually took time off from work to collect the renewed LTVP from ICA prior to this so we were earlier this time round. We checked in around 4pm and were in the room resting for a bit before we decided to head down for a early dinner (as both of us were famished after check-in). 

Awesome view from our room

P meant to take this pic as a trial for his tons of photos

The premiere room looked even bigger than our previous stay 

Even though it's really odd for us to do staycations during weekedays when we're working, this FOC offer is too good to be missed. Too bad we had to redeem it within the month of August as there's some school holidays coming up in September and October which will be a better timing for us.

Rare for us to dine at Michelin star restuarant

We had the early cuts

This time round, I planned for dinner early and booked a table at Wolfgang Puck since I've been wanting to try a Michelin Star restaurant for the longest time. It's a splurge but the price was slightly cheaper since we're going for the early cuts which ends at 7pm. Our initial booking was at 6pm but I called from the room to change it to 5pm. The whole restaurant was dark as the light was dim and there were only a few groups of patrons when we went in, but it slowly filled up until we left at almost 7pm. I would say the service was top notch as there were many servers hovering around to serve us with big smiles and they were really attentive. I decided to give P a treat as he really loves steak and this will be a really awesome meal. 

Complimentary bread from the restaurant

Soup with lobster bits

Sirloin steak with sides (creamy spinach and fries for me)

The dessert came with a card

I was hungry when we sat down even though we pushed the appointment earlier so I ate quite a bit of the bread and starters, in the end I did not even finish the smallish piece of steak. CUT is famous for its steak but we found it just average (we didnt order wagyu due to the price) and the nicest part was really the dessert and service. P decided he wouldnt want to visit again as our bill came up to near $300 for quite average steak. No surprise as he didnt appreciate the expensive Japanese ryokan kaiseki dinners too. After the dinner, the friendly servers came around and asked if we wanted to order some tea. We were wondering if it was complimentary but still went ahead to order anyway, and it added a little to the bill as each pot of tea was around $20. We were too shy to ask! 

Complimentary macarons

Late night supper

We were really full and sleepy after the dinner so we went back to the hotel and knocked out into a nap. We had a swimming pool booking at 9.30pm till 10.30pm (the last slot) and P was really keen to go for a dip so we dragged ourselves up and went for a quick dip at 10pm. I thought it was quite a hassle to change and lug back the wet swimsuits just for the quick 5 minutes in the book. After we washed up, it was past 11pm and P felt hungry as we had dinner early, he was specifically craving for char siew bao. He first went down to the MRT station as we remembered there was a 7-11 there and they might have some food there, but alas the 7-11 was closed as the last train service had left. We decided to get room service instead, the food was actually not too bad and P brought the remaining pizzas back to school in the morning to heat them up for breakfast.
