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.

 |
| 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.

| enjoying the view |

 |
| 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.

I think I like mochaccino more than cappucino.
 |
| delicious fried carrot cake |
 |

 |
| 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.
