Before the Bak Kut Teh Brunch, we had purchase 2 bottles of white (1 brown brothers moscato, a mild 5% and a Pearly Bay Bubble, another mild 8%) and a big bag of CHEEZELS which was my ultimate comfort food and a bottle of Lay's Stax-Sour Cream & Onion Flavour (Big Mistake! Lay's Stax did not taste as good as the normal ones) for our get away at Siloso Beach Resort. Poor Singaporeans, where else can we go for a short getaway?
Anyway ridiculous official check in time of 3pm. We requested an early check in at 1pm (subject to availabilty as highlighted by hotel) as any time before 1pm they were going to charge us extra! Anyway we manage to check in at 12.15pm or so , FOC of course. Who on earth is going to pay extra to check in at 12pm (Most hotels I know in Singapore check in time is 12pm!)?
They kindly upgraded up to Deluxe room (5th floor), pool level but no sea view. I think Sea View was 7th floor and above. Superior rooms were on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Anyway most Singaporeans would have checked in on Saturday and out on Sunday. So when we were there on Sunday, would have been low occupancy already. Tried to request for a late check out on Monday but they only gave us till 1pm.
After putting down our luggage, went to walk around the hotel and check out the place. Than we changed and headed for the pool. Took the Cheezels, wine and had our private little party at the pool side. Luckily the staff did not chase us away for not ordering from their own F & B Service. We ate, drank and swim. Heavenly ~ ~ ~ After couple of hours there, we headed for Siloso beach to swim as opposite the Siloso reosrt is Cafe Del Mar, playing some very happening music, with lots of Bikini Clad Babes and Hunks in Shorts! Beach was bustling with activity. Spotted one very HIAO Girl, I think model wannabe or something doing all sorts of poses for the camera. Funny but entertaining haha. She seem oblivious to the surrounding world. By the time were were done swimming at the beach, time to go back and shower and take the monorail to vivo to get another bottle of bubbly (Jacobs Creek) as no kick from first two bottles!
By the time we were headed for dinner, it was almost 8pm already. Funny how the time flies when you are relaxing and on holiday. Went to this place called Coastes located on Siloso Beach itself. Seated Al Fresco. Weather was good and windy. One down point though was the smell and smoke of the finale fireworks from the musical show which floated over to Coastes with the wind direction.
We ordered a Seafood Stew ($ 26) and 3 pcs-Chicken Wings ($ 9). The Seafood Stew was a very mediterranean style dish, ample portion for 2. It was served with garlic bread. Dip it into the stew very shiok. Chicken wings were bbq with a tinge of sweetness to them, accompanied with spicy sambal chilli. They were very good as well. After dinner headed back to the room to rest as we were quite beat from the swimming, sun and sea etc.
Next Morning - Monday 14/09/09 woke up for our American Buffet Breakfast at Siloso Beach Resort. Pretty Disappointing spread. I will list my disappointment below. As you know usually eating buffet breakfast at hotels will cause me to be SO STUFFED but this was not the case at all!
1. NO BACON?!?!
2. Food served (Cream Potatoes, Omelette, Scramble Eggs) was pretty plain tasting. Maybe I was expected to put my own salt which I could not find anywhere?
3. Fried Noodle Standard was Inconsistent (First round noodles not bad. 2nd round noodles which was served had the rawest bean sprouts and they must have ran out of salt and overdosed on water)
Anyway did not really go and reload our plates. Left not with empty stomach but neither with a bloated stomach! After breakfast we headed for the beach for final shaded tan and swim than back to the pool to swim again before it was time to say Goodbye to Nuaing here.
We headed to Vivo City and caught a Movie called Blood Ties, Singapore production. Better than expected considering it was a Made In Singapore. Very violent and gruesome scenes. So Watch it if your heart can take it.
