[Staycation] Revisiting Pan Pacific Singapore @ Raffles Boulevard, Experience Breakfast, Afternoon Tea and Evening Cocktails @ Pacific Club Lounge

Reservations made, bags packed and arrived during lunch time to check-in. It was right after New Year's day, hence people might have settled in or have checked out to continue their daily things. Considered an 'off-peak' period. Was ushered to the check-in queue and all the counters were occupied (three counters were observed to be active) and there was a family in-front of me waiting as well. 

After some 10 minutes, a new counter was opened and I was next in line. When it was my turn, the staff probably noticed the GHA membership displayed in the user database and was invited to the GHA VIP Lounge to continue with the rest of the check-in process. Hehe. Oh, the GHA member amenity (a box of macarons) was presented at the lounge instead of it being left in the room.

Was given the Club Room at Level 32, so that was nice. Club Lounge is at Level 38.

Champagne Breakfast (7am to 1030am)

Pacific Club breakfast menu

Champagne and orange juice (mimosa, deconstructed)

three-eggs omelette

Club French Toast with Caramelised Banana

The menu does not have the caviar with waffles anymore, and staff mentioned that this was probably due to it being an unpopular item. Hmm.

The french toast have quite a strong crust for the thick bread. I liked the softer parts of the brioche after cutting away the hardened crust. 

perfect bite

Also tried the nasi lemak section where you could pair the coconut rice with typical nasi lemak ingredients such as chicken rendang, hard boiled egg, fried anchovies, sambal, cucumber, achar or otah.

nasi lemak plate

Absolutely loved the piping hot plate of nasi lemak. The rendang and sambal weren't spicy so it's more for the fragrance and the taste of spice without the heat.

Eggs Benedict

runny yolk

The hollandaise sauce for the eggs benny was one of the better ones tasted. However, the muffin had its underside burnt.

Afternoon Tea (3pm to 5pm)

enjoying tea-break with fresh mixed juice (orange, apple and carrot)

curry seafood fried noodles was flavourful though texture a tad mushy

mini charcoal burger, potatoes, heirloom tomatoes salad, chicken pie and wrap

can't get enough of juice

The charcoal bun was one of the driest I've tasted. But if you see chai tao kuay or the local fried carrot cake, that I highly recommend.

Afternoon Tea beverage menu

lovely kuehs

mochaccino

I think I like mochaccino more than cappucino. 

delicious fried carrot cake

green apple juice

carrot cake and pandan chicken so delicious, it deserved an encore

beautiful kuehs and tea cakes for finale

There was a guest at the table across mine, and he was intrigued by the pandan chicken and asked the staff on how to get it out of the wrapper. As I had one, I kaypoh and showed him on how to unwrap the chicken albeit the messy way with his partner looking at me. Hahaha. Well, the chicken was well marinated and tasty, so it was worth the effort. There might be a better way to unwrap it with more elegance but between him and me, neither of us know how. Keke.

Evening Cocktails (6pm to 8pm)

If you enjoy your cocktails strong, this is the place to be.

Champagne, cheeses, pastrami slice, salad and smoked salmon

sirloin slices, chicken and minced octopus pie

everyone seemed to be getting a Lychee Martini

lamb slices with mint chutney, sausages

assorted fruits

Lime Margarita

The only thing that I drank excessively were coffee and fruit juice.

Overall experience, lovely to be back at this place.

Let's Sip Some Champagne for Breakfast, Shall We? @ The Edge Pan Pacific Singapore

The blackout curtains in the room did a good job to keep one well rested. That, and the comfy bed. For Day 2, I was up early before 8am and went down to The Edge where breakfast is served for Pacific room guests. For Day 3, I overslept and went down at around 9+am.

The Edge

After Safe-Entry, the staff would pass you a piece of paper with a code written on it. This is the number that one keys in when ordering breakfast from the QR code located at each seat assigned on the box containing sugar sachets.

Items such as eggs, waffles and pancakes are ordered through own device. After trying the omelette with capsicum and the one with ham and cheese, I'd prefer the capsicum version for the fresh taste of the bell peppers.

What is your must haves for a staycay breakfast? For me, it is eggs. Usually I'd go for scrambled or omelette.

The waffles also fared better than the pancake. Pancake was a tad too dense for my liking while the waffles was crisp on its outerside and fluffy inside.

Day 2 morning, which happened to be my birthday. Was surprised when one of the staff at The Edge, Fahmi came out with a cake slice after I had done with breakfast. This made the other table looked at us and sang along. Hahahaa! Thank you for the sweet gesture.

thank you Fahmi for the birthday treat

Taittinger Brut Champagne was available upon request. It is rather unusual for me to be sipping alcohol that early in the day and I shall remember this Champagne Breakfast at Pan Pacific.

The Edge was really busy on a Saturday morning and there were guests who came by for breakfast at about 10am. My order for omelette which was placed at 915am was also missing till I enquired for it after I had finished the pancake.

Had the chance to observe and liked that the staff treated all guests similarly with polite greetings upon arriving and leaving the restaurant.

For solo guests like me, when staff are not too busy, they'd drop by to enquire if you'd place your order or if there's anymore drinks that you'd like. It was a welcoming feeling in general.
