When I visited the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore last year in September, I took advantage of the City Retreat package which came with a night's accommodation in the Premier Ocean room and Champagne Brunch for two the following day. Having spent my previous Christmas Eve in Hilton Singapore, I wanted some place a little more special and therefore I opted for the Club Harbour room in the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore.

MELT - The World Cafe Champagne Brunch Review

MELT - The World Cafe

September 20, 2014 by Mark Chua in Food

The City Retreat package at the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore comes with Champagne Brunch for two at MELT - The World Cafe. The package which is priced at S$495++ also comes with a well-appointed accommodation in a Premier Ocean room for two. The Champagne Brunch comes with a wide selection of international and Asian favourites, such as freshly made breads, live shucked oysters and seafood, traditional roasts and carvings, farmhouse eggs counter as well as a tantalising spread of grilled burgers and meats at the barbecue alfresco terrace. For those with a sweet tooth, just a selection of crispy waffles, fluffy pancakes and local desserts accompanied with an endless flow of champagne. I will also recommend five must-try dishes at the Champagne Brunch.
