Not getting enough of holidays (like who does? hahaha!!), hubby asked if we wanted to stay a night out on new year eve at a local hotel. "OF COURSE!" I exclaimed hahaha!! So, we booked Parkroyal on Beach Road which was having promotion - S$180nett for superior room (after 10% discount for online booking) including breakfast for 2, and a $50 spa voucher at St Gregory, Parkroyal's resident spa.
I didn't have to work on 31 Dec (but not hubby.. hehe), so while waiting for him, I went for a haircut, then checked into the hotel, and had my Balinese massage (topped up S$70 after the voucher). Whhhooohoooo!!!
Why twin-bed?? Cos I booked too late and all the King beds were no longer available! ArrrgghhH!!

St Gregory Spa reception.. I think St Gregory is one of the pioneers in the spa industry. The masseur who served me didn't sound like a local and her skills were not too bad.. except I find her a bit rough in handling customer. Not the way she massaged, but little ways that showed she wasn't as gentle as other masseurs I've had... hehe

After shopping at Bugis Junction, dinner was Leong Kee (Klang) Bak Kut Teh which is diagonally opposite Parkroyal on the Beach. We didn't quite like the "powdery" soup base which my hubby said has too much herb taste. I find it just a little bitter, but fine by me. The bak kut was quite value for money - S$5/person share, you get 6 pieces of meat - quite tender too ;) I liked the kidney which was quite "fresh" hehe... Overall not too bad but guess we wouldn't go back (so soon). We will continue to hunt for better bak kut teh.. hehe
Leong Kee (Klang) Bak Kut TehBTW, we were supposed to watch fireworks but I was too tired to go out haha!
Breakfast the next day was at Plaza Brasserie. Hmm.. I wouldn't say the range was fantastic but the quality was fine. We took our time to enjoy breakfast and spent 2hrs - our longest time we've spent for breakfast haha!!
