Hotel Review: Sofitel Singapore City Centre (Luxury Room) - Flagship Sofitel Hotel in CBD of Singapore

When I got a sneak preview of the brand new all-day dining restaurant, Racines, at the newly-opened Sofitel Singapore City Centre, I was seriously impressed by it - the food in the restaurant is not only authentic but it also exudes both elegance and finesse in the dishes.
