A Lovely Evening

Capella Singapore

On Tues, we had our 4th Anniversary dinner at Capella Singapore, in Sentosa.

This is 1 of the bungalows built in 1880s during the British colonisation which now become a luxury hotel after restoration & extension.

Free parking! We're happy that the first thing that greeted us was a good one:)

The Knolls, where we had dinner. This obviously not taken by me as it's already 80% dark when we arrived.

Hubby was "studying" the menu while I was snapping away...

Tried to capture the nice view before the sun set - the pool & the South China Sea

My hot honey with lemon slices. The waitress offered me this drink when she knew I was having a bad throat & cough. She even replenished the honey for me. We're very impressed by the personalised service & even more when we realised that it's complimentary.

The attentive waitress volunteered to take some pix for us & even told us where to stand to get the best view. But it's too dim to see the pool & the South China Sea.

Hubby's order - Sliced Beef Bistecca. Appparently it's a good choice & a generous portion was served.

My order which was a wrong one - Chicken Makhani. Thought it's some Western cuisine :(


Very good service. We actually wanted to order desserts together with the main course but were advised by the waitress to take our mains first & see if we still could take in desserts thereafter. Not pushy at all. And it's like a private dining as each table (6-seater) is sectioned & you have a choice to keep the doors opened for the breathtaking views. Interesting.

We chose the Dessert Tasting that allowed us to select 4 types of desserts from the menu.

After desserts, we're invited for a tea sampling session. This invitation is extended to all their dining guests every evening.
We had Straits Chai - a spiced & very perfumed tea. So good after a meal. I like!:)


At the end of our dinner, we're billed for only our mains, hubby's Kilkenny & the dessert. Besides the assortment of bread, my continuous supply of hot honey with lemon, the rich serving of belinjau cracker with belachan dip throughout dinner & the spiced tea were complimentary.

After dinner, we took a stroll around the hotel.

At the outdoors of Bob's Bar. Too bad I wasn't fit for any alcohol that day. But hubby promised to bring me back there for drinks;).. in the late afternoon perhaps, so we can enjoy the picturesque view while chilling out...

A long flight of stairs in white. We imagined the classic scene of a bride gracefully walking down the stairs to her guests... Hee...



The evening would even have been better if we could be there earlier & if I wasn't ill.
But it was still a very lovely one with hubby :)
