\nLike I said here<\/a>, I think that Mandarin Oriental has the best in-hotel dining in Singapore. I bet the first thing that comes to locals’ minds is Morton’s, but no, this isn’t about the famous steakhouse – I didn’t even step inside. I mean, I would’ve loved to try it out but I have yet to find an occasion to splurge a hundred dollars for a plate. \ud83d\ude09 Anyway! This post will feature their room service, buffet breakfast, and pool treats – dining experiences that are way<\/i> underrated. Not only is the food good, the service is above par. Here, you will also find out the exact moment that converted me into a full-fledged MO fan. \ud83d\ude09 <\/div>\n

\n1) First night: Room service.<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMe to my mom: you know the only thing missing from this perfect hotel room? HOT CHOCOLATE.<\/div>\n
\nMy mom: why don’t you order?<\/div>\n
\nMe: it’s not in the room service menu.<\/div>\n
\nMom: why don’t you call and try?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAND VOILA, MY POT OF HOT CHOCOLATE. \u2665<\/div>\n

\nI’ve said it a million times on this blog, but I’m gonna repeat it once more just in case you forgot- I LOVE BREAKFAST.<\/b> Mandarin Oriental did not disappoint in this front. They had my staples (croissants and cold cuts) and then some (home made yogurt, mmm). They offer a huge breakfast spread with almost anything you can want in the morning – cereal, eggs, dimsum, ham, noodles, name it, they have it. PS- sorry guys, I was in a rush and didn’t have the luxury to take photos of every corner. The stuff you see here are those that ended up in my belly, haha!<\/p>\n

3) Afternoon treat at Dolce Vita<\/b><\/p>\n

\nI was hoping for sunshine and a tan, but it was rainy and gloomy during my poolside afternoon in MO. I didn’t let that stop me from having this sorbet treat though. \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

4) Room Service: Dinner<\/b><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nOn our second night, my mom was out with her colleagues and I was suffering from a major headache so I opted for an in-room dinner. I ordered penne carbonara and it was so yummy! It even came with crisps, tea, and a marshmallow treat. I also appreciated the quotable quote included in the table set-up. Not only does it inspire you and make you think, I feel that it totally reflects the hotel’s philosophy too.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a> <\/div>\n

\nThe moment that stole the cake, however, was when Debbie, the MO staff who brought my food, rang the bell again and brought me a pot of honey lemon tea coz I wasn’t feeling well.\u2665 It was the nicest gesture I have ever experienced in a hotel. I really wasn’t expecting it coz I just casually mentioned it during the “how are you” small talk upon my carbonara’s arrival. THAT IS WHY I AM IN LOVE WITH MANDARIN ORIENTAL. Their service is really top notch and as a guest, you can really feel that you’re well taken care of. I am, in all honesty, just blown away. I didn’t think that 5 star hotels can get any better, but Mandarin Oriental Singapore definitely raised the bar. <\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nMandarin Oriental, you really are my cup of tea. \u2665<\/div>\n

\nMandarin Oriental <\/b>is located at 5 Raffles Avenue, Marina Square, Singapore 039797 <\/div>\n
