This weekend just passed, Tania & I (along with our friends Chris & Manfred) went to Singapore for a bit of a break.
We arrived in the afternoon & checked into the lovely Fullerton Hotel (located in the financial district). The Fullerton used to be the old post office. It’s a very impressive & quite beautiful building.
After taking a little bit of time to freshen up, we headed out to dinner – this restaurant called Jim Thompson (in Dempsey Hill – near the Australian Embassy) for a serving of Thai.

The food was excellent; the ingredients so fresh & the taste simply divine.

None of the desserts on offer took our fancy so we headed back to the hotel for a late dessert from the café on the ground floor.
I had the Crème Brulee (couldn’t help myself), Tania had the New York cheesecake , while Chris & Manfred had a sort of sorbet dish.

The servings were huge & this was reflected in the size of the bill (with water, soft drinks & coffee) - $SGD 138
