We started off the day with breakfast at Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant. A wide spread of breakfast food of international variety to choose from you could have your pick and eat your fill. Somehow either we were not hungry or the food was not up to our standard we did not completely enjoy our breakfast that day.

Breakfast food of great variety available

After breakfast was over, we settled mother in the casino and went to watch the sushi making and dragon beard making demonstration. You get to taste the creations as well at the end of the demonstration. The dragon beard making demonstration was very interesting indeed. Imagine starting work on hard crystallized sugar and ending up with something that so resembles the beard of the dragon.


Sushi making

Dragon beard candy is a form of spun sugar traditional in China. It signifies good luck and is normally given during Chinese New Year.

Next was lunch at Blue Lagoon, an Asian Bistro outlet a’la carte restaurant where moderate charges apply. We had satay, mee soto and fish head noodle soup. Mother’s favourite is the fish head noodle soup which she always almost picks when she comes on board. We also ordered the mixed satay and the mee soto Indonesian style. The satay gravy was thick and savoury and the satay meat adequately spiced. The mee soto though was not what we were used to and did not find it authentic. There is a special Blue Lagoon weekend menu where you can order Bird's Nest Soup With Ginseng or Red Dates for SGD49 (USD34.7) or Frog Leg Porridge for SGD15 (USD 10.60) and other interesting dishes.

When we were done with lunch, we again settled Mother at the casino before proceeding to Out Of Africa Karaoke private rooms for some sing-along session. A cozy little room, we enjoyed singing and the camaraderie amongst the group.

Time always flies when you are enjoying yourself and before we knew it, it was already 1800 hrs, time for dinner at Samurai restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, where the birthday girl was giving us all a treat. A variety of dishes were ordered and everyone enjoyed the authentic Japanese food there. The food was good and the ambience great.
