Romantic Sentosa Restaurant - Wildseed Café at 1-Flowerhill with KKDay Deal

ABBEY: Hearts’ Day is here again, and what better way to celebrate love than with a memorable dining experience? This year, we reserved a table at Wildseed 1-Flowerhill in Sentosa.

After arriving at Imbiah Station, we took a short walk up to this charming colonial house, where the restaurant is located. The place was already bustling with couples and groups, all eager to celebrate the occasion. Once our reservation was confirmed, we were guided to our table, setting the stage for a delightful evening.

For dinner, we indulged in three standout dishes:

• Garden Pesto Pasta – Cooked to a perfect al dente, the pasta was coated in a velvety, cheesy pesto sauce. Unexpectedly, it came with what I believe were French beans, adding a refreshing crunch alongside the traditional pine nuts.

• Truffle Brie Pizza – A massive pizza generously topped with oyster mushrooms and creamy brie. While I forgot to try it with hot sauce, the rich truffle aroma and gooey cheese made it a delicious experience on its own.

• Barbecue Iberico Pork Ribs – The true highlight of the night! These ribs were beautifully caramelized, offering a perfect balance of sweetness, smokiness, and a melt-in-your-mouth meat-to-fat ratio.

Our meal was complemented by a glass of red wine, enhancing the flavors of each dish. As we dined, a live band serenaded guests, adding to the romantic ambiance. Between bites and sips, we caught up on the day’s happenings, making the evening even more special.

Dorsett Changi City: Affordable Hotel Near Changi Airport?

ABBEY: If you’re looking for a comfortable and well-located hotel near Changi Airport, Dorsett Changi City Singapore is a fantastic option. Whether you’re in Singapore for a layover, business trip, or a quick getaway, this hotel offers a relaxing and convenient stay.

During our stay, we were provided with a clean and well-equipped room, complete with a kitchenette—a great feature for those who prefer some flexibility with their meals. The bathroom was spacious and modern, while the soft, pristine sheets and plush pillowsensured a restful night’s sleep.

Although we couldn’t take a dip in the outdoor pool due to the rain, we made the most of the sauna and steam room, which provided a relaxing retreat after a long day. These wellness amenities make Dorsett Changi City a great choice for travelers looking to unwind.

For dining options, guests can enjoy meals at the Cosmo Bar and Restaurant within the hotel. Alternatively, Changi City Point, a shopping mall with various restaurants and retail stores, is just a short walk away—perfect for those who want more choices.

One standout feature of Dorsett Changi City Singapore is its day-use option, ideal for travelers who need a short but comfortable stay. Guests can enjoy full access to the hotel’s amenities, making it a convenient choice for a quick rest or layover.

WILL: Looking for a hotel near Changi Airport? Many travelers visiting Singapore need a hotel close to the airport, whether for business trips, layovers, or short-term stays. While Changi Airport is about 30 minutes from Singapore’s main attractions by train, some visitors prefer to stay nearby for convenience.

If Crowne Plaza is fully booked or not within your budget, another great option is Dorsett Changi City (formerly Capri by Fraser, Changi City), which is just one train stop away from Changi Airport.

Why Stay at Dorsett Changi City? Dorsett Changi City is strategically located in Changi Business Park, a key hub for IT professionals and international banks. Unlike Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD), this area is quieter, making it ideal for business travelers and short-term guests.

During our stay, we had a twin room with a kitchenette—a pleasant surprise! The room included a complete set of plates and utensils, which made our stay more convenient. If you enjoy having basic kitchen facilities in a hotel, this is a great option.

A bonus feature was the tap water access, making it easy to refill bottles. 

The bathroom was clean, and the Elemis toiletries were a pleasant bonus—I honestly didn’t expect that kind of quality here.

I was particularly excited about the sauna—one of the reasons I booked this hotel. Unfortunately, it was not as hot as expected, which was a letdown. If you’re hoping for a proper spa-like sauna experience, this might not be it.

Aside from that, the hotel offers a well-equipped gym, pool and a business area but quieter than the Central Business District (CBD) location. 

Who Should Stay at Dorsett Changi City?

✅ Business Travelers – Close to Changi Business Park and well-connected by MRT.
✅ Layover Passengers – Just one train stop from Changi Airport.
✅ Staycation Seekers – Comfortable rooms with great amenities.
✅ Day-Use Guests – A great option for short stays before a flight.
