Cathay Cineleisure Orchard -- FREE Food Platter for Platinum Movie Suites

ABBEY: We wanted to watch Fifty Shades Darker in comfort :) So Wilma booked tickets for Platinum Movie Suites at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard. Wow. The experience is great. The seat is soft as well as the blanket (more or like a quilt as it is thick). 

And the table is movable so I can still munch on my snack while still leaned back. Yes, snacks are provided. I had the Signature Chicken Platter. But you need to pay extra for the drinks. I hope it will be included in the future offers also.





WILL: Almost all of the establishment is offering a Valentine's Specials and of course couples are ready to splurge on this kind of occasion and that is the reason why some took advantage and hiked-up their price but not Cathay's Platinum Movie Suites.  

On its regular price of $28 they giveaway a free food platter. I ordered Vegetarian Delight which comprised of Samosa, Spring Rolls and Potato Wedges. What I love the most is their samosa. 

Thanks Cathay's Platinum Movie Suites for this good food while we are watching 50 Shades Darker. It made our day, dining in comfort of the la-z-boy seats. :)

Fifty Shades Darker

ABBEY: This is the second installment of 50 Shades series. 

Mr. Grey wants Anastasia back. And he did everything in his power to reach his goal. The moves were suave; giving lavish gifts, buying the company she's working on, dressing her with designer clothes. All is well until his past haunted him. One of his past (submissive) went rouge. But Mr. Grey and rich as he is, it was taken care off. 

The "steamy" scenes were wilder than the first one: from the shower, to the red room and to the childhood bedroom of Christian. But I just can't imagine how the other elevator passengers didn't take notice of what's happening at the back :)

WILL: 
I am frustrated with the first batch of 50 Shades Trilogy and I am so confused why I made a decision to watch the second movie. 


Well, I can't blame myself, I am blushing whenever Christian Grey make something to their "un-vanilla" relationship with Ms. Steel. 

If I will compare it with the book, ahmmm 2/10. But if it is a standalone, for "kilig" factor, I will rate it 9/10. 

Will I watch next year the 50 Shades Freed? of course! Hehe!

Colony at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore - Valentine's Day Dinner Special

ABBEY: It is ok to splurge on something fancy from time to time. So I booked a reservation for me and Wilma to attend Colony Valentine's Day Dinner at Ritz-Carlton Millenia. 

It is an international buffet compose of Western, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and local cuisines. Couples were able to strike a pose on the photo booth and created personal love notes for their loved ones.  Each lady received a big bulb of red rose and the pair enjoy a glass of Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2006. 

This gave the ordinary buffet a romantic feel. I had sushi and slices of salmon. 

Then I also tasted tomahawk beef (soft and tender), chicken and mutton satay (their mutton satay meat is very soft). For Indian food, I indulged in butter chicken, papaddum, briyani rice and chicken tandoor. 

I also had a plate of red sauce pasta and dumplings. 

The dinner started at 7PM and lasted for 3.5 hours. Prepayment of 108SGD per adult is required. Great food and service. Thanks Ritz-Carlton and Colony.





WILL: Since January, Abbey is agitated where we will celebrate the 14th of Feb. He wants to surprise me, he wants to book a hotel BUT my work leaves won't permit that plan. So, it ended up for us to have a dinner. 

This make him spend, big time! Gosh! I know how much but he always shush me whenever I want to hold this case. He always assures, that it is in his budget. Okay then. What can I do if it is already paid. Yep! In Colony you need to pay upon reservation. 

So, I wonder why they hike up their dinner buffet price. There is a photo booth, a DIY card corner, 2 glass of champagne and a long-stem red rose. 

The food? What hits me most? Their cotton candy (delivered to my table), the laksa, of course their sashimi, shelled crab, and their dessert. Forget the cakes, I indulge on their ----. We asked kept in looking for roasted pork and cannot find it, luckily one of the Colony people gave us a plate of sliced pork that is somewhat near to it. 

This is the only buffet that I didn't take tea. Oh! Thanks for guava and jackfruit. It is lovely to see those, actually it is unusual for buffets. 

Am I coming back? Do not get me wrong, I enjoyed pigging out in Colony but I will not be coming back. Anyways, kudos to all the kind very patient staffs! :)
