Was checking out the hotels in Hong Kong and Macau in preparation for our trip in Jul.
Found that the hotels in Hong Kong are so expensive for the tiny rooms they offer.
Was tempted to stay a night at the Peninsula Hotel for the killer view but at S$900 a night, tink my eyes will pop out!
The Grand Facade

This is the Grand Deluxe Harbour View Suite

This is the Harbour view from the bath tub to die for.

Nice pool and the view too!

Peninsula spa

Well if you have a lot of money to spare, try the Peninsula Suite.

Tink we will go for the afternoon tea at the Verandah instead. Looks alot like Raffles hotel dun you tink.

It reminds me of Ritz Carlton and their Paranormic views of the Harbour.
Deluxe Marina Bay View room

Finally decided to settle on the Cosmo Hotel in Wanchai which is situated close to Times Square.
The rates are pretty cheap and the decor looks like a boutique hotel.
This is the lobby

The rooms come in 3 colour schemes which you can choose.
This is the yellow room.

I like the orange room better.


Shutterbug likes the green room.


The interesting thing is that the room numbers are on the floor.

Their bar look sorta hip too!

Until then, looking forward to my dive trips in May and June.

Weekend Highlights

Had a smacking gd time shopping and eating our way in Marina Square over the weekend.
Me and shutterbug went to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao for a light lunch.

Yup, tats me enjoying the xiao long bao. Its even better than the one at Ding Tai Feng. Yummy.
While shutterbug went to meet his client, I went to Rocky Masters to have a cuppa and read my book. We went shopping after his appointment for facial masks together and bought quite a lot; enough for 2 months supply at least.
After window shopping for quite a while, decided to try out the Jap restaurant we happen to chance upon at one obscure corner of Marina Square.

They were having a buffet promotion and so we decided to give it a try.

We were quite hungry by then and he is looking forward to the spread.

Their salmon and unagi temaki looks fantastic!

We also ordered the salmon sashimi, our all time fav.

Thats the chilli steamboat!


And the spread that came along with it!
The beef was very sweet and tender and it was definitely worth another visit.
It was a fulfilling trip back home after that =)
