Hubby and I went for a one night trip to Singapore after Christmas. Actually, the purpose of the trip was to drive hubby's aunt back to Singapore. So I took this opportunity to take a short break and spend some quality time just the two of us.
After I settled Aston, we drove him to my parents' house before picking hubby's aunt in Subang. I thought I will feel very heavy hearted after leaving Aston at my parents' place but somehow I was looking forward and couldn't wait to reach Singapore just like a small girl going for a holiday! Perhaps deep down I am desperate for a break. Or maybe the idea of staying in St. Regis even for just one night overpower my heavy heart.
We arrived Singapore quite late because we decided to stop over in Malacca for lunch. We were hoping the GPS will bring us to some authentic Nyonya food but unfortunately the GPS bring us to a restaurant that cannot be found! We spend nearly 1 hour looking for restaurant after restaurant listed in the GPS but all no where to be seen plus the heavy traffic in town we lost our patience and decided to just park around Jonker's Street and grab whatever we can find. We ended up having Wanton Mee that all 3 of us agreed does not resemble Wanton Mee at all.
We dropped by aunt's house and had dinner before driving to St. Regis. We were a bit phobia with the GPS after our incident in Malacca. Anyway, surprisingly it was very accurate and we arrived St. Regis without any error. The moment we arrived St. Regis we were greeted by the porter. We were asked whether do we want to valet the car and being a 'kiasu' hubby asked whether can we parked ourselves. At the back of our mind we were thinking it must cost a bomb for it to be valet parked at St. Regis....but surprise..surprise... it's complimentary! So of course being a typical 'kiasu' we immediately said OK to the valet.
The porter helped us with our bag and brought us to the reception area for check in. Suddenly we felt like some rich and fabulous. The check-in was a breeze and we were being showed where we can have our breakfast the next day. The porter then brought us up to our room. And this is what our room looks like...ahh heavenly!

I am a terrible photographer. I have actually missed the walk in wardrobe and the touch screen telephone. So anyway, the bed is just perfect. Not too firm or too soft. There's also a pillow menu which again I have missed out. Only found out minutes before we check out. Roughly went through the list there's all sorts of pillow ie down feather, firm, U shape etc.. The sound system was excellent! There were two jazz CD given and the music makes the room even more romantic. We even get to choose the lighting to set the right ambience.
The breakfast served was really good as well especially the eggs station. They even served eggs benedict. Hubby said that the 'har gow' was really good because it was whole prawn inside. Anyway, we had a long breakfast to enjoy as much food as we can because everything was so good.
Overall, it was money well spent! No regrets and I wonder when we will ever get a chance to indulge in such luxury again......
