Wow, I am still in daze! Tonight is one of the most magical night I have ever had so far. A lovely night of window shopping at Suntec, City Link Mall and Raffles City, brought us to Bakerzine for a naughty conversation over dessert. After some "serious" contemplation, we headed for Raffles Hotel, Singapore's Most Famous Hotel. I was very proud when I first stepped in eventhough in my heart, I felt completely underdressed. The atmosphere was just the right concoction that will make you feel at ease and at home. In the matter of seconds, I felt completely relaxed in my mood and my wallet too! I always wanted to try the drink created here by the late Mr Ngiam Tong Boon decades ago. You guess it right, the Singapore Sling!
Our barman is a lovely guy who feels so much at home at his bar. His movement and his speech reflects that he has so much pride in what he does. I honour such a person... He made us the original Singapore Sling from scratch! What a rare combination of a refreshing cocktail and a pleasant conversation with a French stranger, introduced to us by the barman and his supervisor!
After a nice and lovely sling, we are pampered by four glasses of premium Champagne! Our first glass was a $55 and followed by a string of Taittinger(s). With fine pralines and cashew nuts as accompaniment, life is almost perfect and worth standing still for! Cheers!
