Back at this hotel after 3 years. Read more about previous stay experience here. Some rooms have been refurbished since then, but funnily, I was upgraded to a room that's not. Haha!
Anyways, decided to book the Birthday Treat package as I hadn't been making use of this privilege even though it was part of the member's benefit for the GHA Discovery programme.
Checked-in at 11am on a Friday, and was attended to by Anson. He was friendly, efficient and offered his help to redeem the Discovery Dollars. Thank you Anson for your help! Was upgraded to Pacific Club Room, so that was nice.
This time, the room was located at Level 26 which is the same level as Studio 26 where guests staying at the Executive Marina Rooms could access for light refreshments and pastries.

I was checking out the room when the doorbell rang. Staff brought me a tray of things, complimentary as part of the birthday package and Discovery welcome amenities.

The birthday cake was nicely moist and not too sweet. Goes well with a cup of coffee.

Was exploring the room and found an interesting booklet on Sleep. Apparently one could order a cup of hot milk to aid in sleep. Wanted to make use of this interesting benefit but forgot to do so during my stay. Next time, I'll try it!
In-room dining menu was provided via the physical copy as well as the digital copy one could find from the TV menu, or the scanning of a QR code on a card located at the side table.

The complimentary mini-bar was fully stocked and it has sparkling water, coke zero, red bull, sprite and orange juice. Replenished daily too.

The pastries, cakes, salads are available as self-serve (buffet) style. And, sometimes staff may come by with a trolley of specials (food or tea) to introduce to the seated guests.
 |
| savouries |
I liked that there were savouries and sweets available for guests. There's also potato chips/local crackers like muruku as nibbles.
 |
| Bacha Coffee |
 |
| sweets |
 |
| chendol dessert |
 |
| pulut hitam dessert |
Quite liked the theme of local flavours for the sweets. There were some options for vegetarians as well but do be aware that some may still contain eggs/dairy.
 |
| savouries |
For savouries, usually there's mini pies/quiche, and dumplings of sorts. The prawn fritters were pretty good.
 |
| minestrone |
The tangy appetizing flavours of the minestrone soup was good. I had more of this as well.
 |
| pretty plate |
For drinks, I loved their freshly squeezed juices, and the green apple was nicely sweet.

Evening Cocktail
Available from 6pm to 8pm for guests with Club access.
 |
| fruits |
 |
| charcuterie and cheeses |
 |
| salad, ham and Tropical Breeze cocktail |
The crab salad was pretty good and beef pastrami was flavourful. Thought the beef pastrami looked dry, but it was surprisingly good. The virginia ham was nice too. Unfortunately, I didn't like my drink because there was something in there that reminded me of cough syrup.

| meatball, roasted chicken and mussels |
The roasted chicken was the least enjoyable as it was tough and slightly dry.

Champagne Breakfast
Available from 7 to 1030am, guests with Club access will be able to enjoy Champagne Breakfast here. If you opt for breakfast at the Edge (which you could), just be aware that the free-flow champagne is excluded there.

 |
| omelette, french toast, Champagne and coffee |
There are also cold cuts, smoked salmon, salad, cereals available on a self-serve style, so feel free to eat to your heart's content! But then, who can eat that much in the morning. Ok, I take that back. Judging from the countless mukbang videos, I think everyone else can eat alot anytime of the day. Hahaha!

| Virginia Ham |
Pan Pacific does pretty good hams and sausages, so I'd sample some of those when I see it for breakfast, or evening cocktails, or even at the Edge buffet.
If you're having french toast as secondary plate, it would be better to place the order later. I made the mistake of ordering it too early and the bread ended up as less enjoyable as it stayed out for a tad too long.
 |
| Pengat Pisang Brioche French Toast |
Loved the pengat pisang (banana verrine) and the coconut ganache on the french toast. The bread was a tad too thick for my liking. No extra syrup is required.
 |
| assorted sausages, bacon and ham |
 |
| DIY nasi lemak with sausages and chicken rendang |
The chicken rendang was good. Nicely tender and the sauce flavourful. Not too spicy. Even the sambal was leaning towards sweet, savoury rather than spicy. Liked the pork sausage more than beef sausage.

Tried Potato Waffles and Caviar and it turned out to be a good choice. Nice pairing for the champagne too.

The potato waffles on its own was mildly sweet. Not too heavy for breakfast.
