I’ve been going for some
short trips to Singapore due to work and was too lazy & too busy to go out
for any touristy things during the stay. I think old age finally caught up on me. *sob* However, I think I should blog about it too since I genuinely enjoyed
the accommodation and foods there. One sad thing was there was no per diem
anymore and everything was supposed to claim by receipt. Well, guess this
provided the perfect excuse to eat better food? =P

So far Silkair or Airasia
were taken during the trips depending on the price – the inflight meal of
Silkair consisted of chicken puff or chicken sandwiches. So far the chicken
sandwiches tasted better than the puff. =P

Oasia Hotel (link) provided the base as
hunting ground in Lion City. So far I’ve got the chance to stay in Superior room, deluxe room
& club room. Just to note that I only have the chance to stay in Club Room
since other lower range room was fully booked that time. Lucky me! =P Guess one
must be wondering what is the difference between these rooms –
here you go…
Deluxe Room
Frankly speaking, it
appeared to me that Deluxe Room was the bigger of these 3 types of room. It had all the
basic amenities such as TV, toiletries, 2 coffee capsules and a refill of 4 TWG
tea bags everyday! *wink* There was a rain shower bathroom but no bathtub
though and the bathroom did seem to be better decorated than the one in Superior Room. Oh, did I mention they have a weighting scale and they provide slipper too?

Guests in Oasia could access the
8th floor public swimming pool and Jacuzzi area but unfortunately I
hadn’t try this.

Breakfast was provided
daily at ground floor in Marmalade Pantry for Superior & Deluxe Room Guests. It was quite a spread with
international, Chinese & western cuisines. Only after few days that I
realised that I should be making smoked salmon sandwiches for breakfast since
there was unlimited smoked salmon there everyday! *facepalm* One downside was
the restaurant was always full and sometimes difficult to get a table.

Club Room
Club Room was supposed to
be higher class than Deluxe Room. However, I noticed that the room was actually
smaller than Deluxe Room. Everything is hidden inside the cabinet such as the
coffee station. There was a bathtub in the room and they provided Thann
toiletries.

One thing that set the
amenities apart from Deluxe room was they provided 4 bottles of complimentary
vitamin waters in the mini fridge, 3 types of coffee capsules & 8 TWG tea
bags everyday! Hooray!
Another big
differentiation? You could access “the Living Room” lounge at 22nd
floor which provided free flow of drinks and snacks all day long! Wait, this
was not the best yet - the best was there was this complimentary cocktail
session from 6pm-8pm where alcohol was totally FREE FLOW!!! They have wine,
cocktail and beer – as long as you could consume them, you may order as much as
you want. Too bad I only had the chance to stay in this room for one night thus
only managed to sample a cocktail and a glass of chardonnay.

For breakfast, club room
patrons could choose to dine in Marmalade Pantry at ground floor or at “the
Living room” in seclusion. I noticed the spread in the living room was not as
much as the one at Marmalade Pantry but they did provided artisan coffee or
other drinks such as hot chocolate or steamed milk. The best was there would
always be tables available there. =)
