Just over the weekend Isaiah and myself treated ourselves to a mini break in Fairmont Hotel, Singapore. I like to pretend that I'm a travel magazine writer/hotel reviewer/someone-who-gets-paid-to-stay-in-hotels-for-free person! So sometimes, we try to live this dream alittle. Heh.
We checked in early - where we each rushed some work till about 4pm (!!!) But with the emails sent and our hearts at ease, we happily went swimming in a bid to lose some calories for our major pigging out fest later on.
Prego Restaurant
Fairmont Hotel
Warm lovely bread for starters (which they kindly refilled :))
Tuna carpaccio for starters
Prego Speciality Pizza - Parham Ham, Rocket leaves and cheese i believe
Chicken dish with mashed potatoes that came with Isaiah's set
Glorious Agnolotti (Pasta with minced beef filling)
Rice Tapioca & sorbet ice cream for desserts
light and yummy - absolutely perfect way to end of a really huge meal

The meal was awesome overall. I wouldn't say that it was drop dead absolutely wonderful - but at the same time, the food was just right. Even the heavier dishes didn't give this sense of being too full or too sick of the same dish. Service was absolutely excellent and attentive.
After the huge dinner we went on to catch a movie - Going the Distance. Neither of us can tell you what's the movie about or how it ended because we both fell asleep (!!!) while watching the movie. Even moving our feets and getting back to the hotel, which was just a stone's throw away, was such an ordeal.
A couple of pictures i managed to snagged off my sis' camera (which she still doesn't know i took and i cleverly didn't check to see that the batteries are dying) before we dozed off with happy dreams of our dinner :)

A great breakfast is a great way to start a morning :)
Thank God the hotel was kind enough to grant us late check-out the next morning. So as Isaiah was making his way to work, i had a variety of options - sleep/swim/stone - to choose from. Of which, i did all :))
Fairmont was awesome - albeit alittle on the old side. But with super fluffy towels and old world charms, and for the price we paid, i would say it's definitely worth it. Not too sure if i'll recommend if someone's paying to stay there at full price ($200ish) though. Nevertheless, a much needed break fulfilled and a great way to start the work-filled hols!
