They assured me there were no calories!

As promised here are some of the pictures of our very decadent brunch yesterday at Raffles Hotel!  We could have done it for a little bit cheaper ($158 instead of $178), but the thought of enjoying brunch at Raffles won.  Raffles is a beautiful old hotel that has been restored to it's former glory.  At one point it had the best view of the ocean, but you'd actually never know that today as Singapore has a lot of reclaimed land along the waterfront.  Raffles is now a bit of a walk from the water front.

The Singapore Sling was apparently created at Raffles at the Long Bar - where you can go and enjoy a $26 Sling eating peanuts and throwing the shells on the floor.  Our Sling was enjoyed on the terrace of the Bar and Billiard Room as part of brunch.

And now for the food - it was amazing and there was soooo much!  Did I mention the never ending champagne?

If you're ever in Singapore, I highly recommend this experience.  The waiters are lovely and so attentive - down to remembering our names throughout the afternoon - I was "Miss Melva".  It felt like we had stepped back in time.

The rest of the day was recovery - too much champagne and too much food.  I managed to get a swim in later in the day, but that was it!  All in all, a lovely day.  Thanks Colleen for the suggestion!
