After months of battling a weak constitution, we decided that it was time to bring Ah Gong out for a walk, and of course, to be treated to a good meal.
The lift from the hotel lobby took us up 37 storey to where Hai Tien Lo is. Being one of the few lifts in Singapore that was built outwards, the view up was stunning.
We were greeted at the entrance of Hai Tien Lo, and was then led to a roundabout to our table. This place is designed in such a way that it forms a circle, and every table will be able to get a panoramic view of the landscapes.
We reserved for 9 pax and when the room door opened, I gasped. The view was absolutely beautiful! We had the full view of Marina Bay Sands, and also the Singapore Flyer. Sky was blue and the whole atmosphere took our breath away.
Ah Gong - glad that he was enjoying the view... :)
We were served Pu-er rose tea, a refreshing change from the usual Pu-er.
I like the subtle taste and rose aroma.
Next came the food that we ordered and they were served rather efficiently.
Every dish was awesome and of very good quality.
Shark Fin's Soup
Mini Buddha Jump over the Wall
Assorted Cold Dishes
Beancurd - For Grandpa
Vegetables with Clams
Beef
Ostrich Meat
It tasted somewhat similar to deer meat though... I couldn't tell any difference.
It was soft and tender.
Dim Sums
Prawn Dumplings
Fried Dumplings
Chee Cheong Fun with X.O. sauce
(Rice noodles roll)
Shishamo
A Japanese smelt (saltwater fish), the females were picked for their egg sacs.
This was one of the best Shishamo I have ever tasted. The shishamo was huge and full of eggs.
Boiled prawns
Deep fried Prawn Wasabi Mayonnaise
This was my favourite dish!
It's a must try!
Then came dessert time
We headed to a prepared station where we could choose from a variety.
There were beancurd white fungus, cakes, fruits, tarts and mooncakes, etc.
The little ones couldn't get their eyes off the big plate of colourful fruits.
But what really kept them quiet at the table was the cakes.
Wen loved this cup of jelly. He had 3 cups!
I am not too sure what it was, but it tasted like Osmanthus.
I was not too keen though, was quite an acquired taste.
Touted as one of the best Chinese restaurant, Hai Tien Lo totally deserved the honour, in terms of the taste, style and presentation.
Unfortunately, there was a miss.
This place is not handicap friendly, at all.
From the carpark to Pan Pacific lobby, we could only find an escalator and we were told by the front reception that there was no lift! Weird.
We didn't bother to search for the lift and had to make Ah Gong stand in order to fold his wheelchair up the narrow escalator. (Escalator was too small for wheelchair too!)
We learned that we should have just dropped him at the lobby beforehand.
Worse was when my grandpa needed the toilet.
You need to walk down a flight of stairs (prob 15-20 steps) before you reach the bathroom.
Either that, or we had to choose to wheel him to Level 1 lobby. Crazy.
Poor Ah Gong, he made his way down the difficult steps, with the help of 4 men
(dad, bro, BIL, wen).
Pity I had to give a minus to Hai Tien Lo for this, otherwise it would have earned a five star status just like the Hotel.
