Food you can buy in 711 Singapore

FOOD YOU CAN BUY IN

711 SINGAPORE 

When you're in Singapore, checkout out the 711 stores. They have very interesting foodstuff in small and individual packs that's great for tasting. If you simply want to taste them, it's better to go to the 711 store rather than the bigger stores because food can be bought in individual packs. For example, the Magnum osmanthus oolong is sold at CS fresh in packs of 4, while it's sold individually at 711.

SINGAPORE: What to Order at Matchaya

SINGAPORE: WHAT TO ORDER AT MATCHAYA

Glad to be back at Matchaya! I first tasted this in March 2020 before the pandemic lockdown. For matcha lovers, this is the best place to go for your matcha fix. But for my daughter who's not a fan of matcha, she says that she would go back for the Signature Koicha Milk she ordered because IT'S THAT GOOD! It seems that for both matcha lovers and non-matcha lovers, this is a place you can both hang out together.

WHAT TO ORDER

Uji Matcha soft-serve ice cream cone
(6 sgd)

Uji Matcha soft-serve ice cream cup
(6.70 sgd for regular, 8.50 sgd for upsize)

 Signature Koicha Milk
(9 sgd if cold, 8.50 sgd if hot)

SINGAPORE HOTEL REVIEW: Why I Love Fraser Place Robertson Walk

SINGAPORE HOTEL REVIEW:

WHY I LOVE FRASER PLACE ROBERTSON WALK 

LOCATION: Location is superb. It's very near the MRT (450m walk), and several bus stops (250m walk). It has a grocery nearby. There's a wine store beside it (Wine Connection) that sells good and budget friendly wines. It's also very near several restaurants serving various cuisines.

SERVICE: Housekeeping is exemplary. They are very responsive to the requests of guests. Rooms are kept very clean.

ROOMS: The rooms are very spacious and have a very good layout. It is as beautiful as shown in the photos in their site. We got the 3 bedroom premier for 6 adults. But drainage in the shower must be addressed. It drains slowly when we were there February 2023. That's why I only gave 4 stars rating for the room. I didn't put any photos of the room anymore coz it looks the same as the one in the website. Check out their website at https://www.frasershospitality.com/en/singapore/fraser-place-robertson-walk-singapore/accommodation/ for more photos and details

TOILETS AND BATH: It's very hard to find accommodations in Singapore that will provide 2 toilets and bath for 6 people in one property or room, unless you book 2 hotel rooms for 6 people or 3 hotel rooms for 6 people. Since we want to be together in one room, this property is a find. When the kids were small, we used to get by with one toilet and bath for the 6 of us. But when the kids became adults, we now need at least 2 toilets and bath for the 6 of us. Otherwise, it would be ages before we can go out of the hotel.

BREAKFAST: I love their buffet breakfast. It is not as wide in variety as a hotel breakfast but they are sufficient to cover the preferences of a family of different age groups. They are delicious and cooked very well. They have American, Continental and Asian breakfast. I especially love their croissant and cappuccino. They are also very generous with their breakfast. They provide lunch boxes in their room so you can bring back breakfast to your room if you wish. They also provide disposable cups so you can also bring back coffee to your room if you wish.

For cheapest rates, check out Fraser Place Robertson Walk  HERE

FREE SHUTTLE: They have free shuttle buses to Orchard and Suntec.

OTHER AMENITIES: The gym is sufficient in size and equipment. The pool is great even for small kids.

The only con is that you need to book this property for at least 6 nights. 

We love the place so much so we booked it again for our Singapore trip next year.

SINGAPORE: Fraser Place Robertson Walk Breakfast Buffet Review

SINGAPORE: Fraser Place Robertson Walk

Breakfast Buffet Review

I love the accommodations at Fraser Place Robertson Walk!!! Among the things I love is their breakfast buffet. It's not overwhelmingly plenty but each item was of very good quality and well prepared. You can choose an American or Asian breakfast, have eggs cooked at the egg station in the way you prefer, either scrambled, boiled or sunny side up, and have limitless croissant, bread, cereal, pastry, salad, fruits, tea, juice, yogurt and of course, coffee. I love their cappuccino! Plus you can bring back to your room more food because they provide shiok shiok lunchbox in your room for that purpose. You can bring back more coffee to your room coz they provide disposable.

WHERE TO FIND THE BEST HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE IN SINGAPORE

WHERE TO FIND THE BEST HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE IN SINGAPORE

We tried out Hainanese Delicacy as seen from Food Affair by Mark Wiens (Migrationology). Superb Hainanese chicken rice! The taste of chicken is very clean and refreshing, tender and moist. Even the cucumbers that go with it are delicately flavored. One whole chicken is good for 8 servings but our group of 5 was able to finish it quickly. Our standards for Hainanese chicken rice just went up. It's the best Hainanese chicken rice we've eaten in Singapore, much better than the Tian Tian Hainanese chicken rice popular among the tourists. Worth the long walk from our place to Far East Plaza!

MY TIP: Best time to arrive is after lunch. We are a group of 5. We arrived 130pm  and was seated in 10 minutes. Groups of 2 are seated immediately. There are only 2 big tables that can accommodate a group of 5.
