#pokandpok - Staycation 2016!

Again at Wanderlust :D

With the opening of the Downtown line, Wanderlust hotel is now more accessible than before!
3 min walk away to Rochor, 6 min to Little India Station, and 10 min to Bugis station.

This is my second visit, and this time we picked the Pantone room.
Bed was super comfy, and shower facilities were clean.
The shower is separate with the toilet btw, and so is the sink, therefore no fighting ensued :D



Socks & Pans for lunch !
There are always new cafes to try on my list so we usually have no problem with what to eat hahahah.

Socks & Pans
7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza #01-108
Singapore 081007

Opening hours:
Monday to Thursday 11 am to 9 pm 
Friday 11 am to 10 pm

It is located right next to Bingki, my favourite bingsu place!
Which makes it convenient to pop over for desserts, :B

Socks & Pans has an interesting concept that's reflected in their name - Traditional Kopi and Pizza tgt.
So don't expect any fancy schmancy lattes there, just your good ol' kopi teh c siew dai.

The food dishes are the ones with the twist though.
There are your standard pizza flavours, 
and then there's He Bi Hiam, Thai Basil Pork, and Asian Pulled Pork. Like whaaat!
Cannot imagine these on pizzas hahaha.

You can see the menu here!

Show you what attracted us there in the first place..


Baked Mac & Cheese with Soft Egg - $11.10!!
This is really their star attraction.
Mac &Cheese sounds normal enough, 
but S&P throws in crunchy croutons which breaks the creamy texture, hence the dish won't get jelat.
Shreds of bacon inside also lends the dish a punch of flavour.

The soft egg is also optional (top-up $1.20), 
so you can skip it if you're worried that its too rich / cholesterol levels are too high ;p

Pok had their Wagyu Beef Bolognese - $9.90 , which he said was good.
I always feel bad when there's limited options for him but he always insists he is fine. #imsolucky


Caught a movie and then its on to sing k!
Absolute best la, sing until 1 am at Bugis+ then walk back to hotel.


Breakfast buffet at Cocotte is included, which comprises of a main dish,
and free flow cereal, milk, coffee, tea and assorted breads and pastries, till 11 am.
They have Waffle Crisps! Which I had 2 bowls each morning #fatdieme


The mess of melty looking sauce is my Eggs and Kale Benedict. #omnomnom


Whose breakfast is better uncle? 
Is that why you have your game on face? HAHAH.


Planned a totally different 'itinerary' from the last time - yay we're finally going Adventure Cove!
Previously I kept postponing AC visits because I didn't want my freshly dyed red hair to fade HAHAH.
Even though I'd look like Ariel in the water, I'd rather keep the color for longer.
But aiya now cannot vibrant liao, so doesn't matter anymore T.T


Adventure Cove is like an upgraded version of www, with more thrilling rides!
Pok's favourite is the Duelling Racer - we went 4 times because there wasn't much of a queue.
Weekday perks hahahah


My favourite was the Riptide Rocket - Southeast Asia's first hydro-magnetic roller coaster!
Poor Pok didn't know what was in store, and he freaked out on the ride HAHAH.
There was a series of ups and drops so he was screaming all the way.
#uncoolboyfriend

Other than that, you have www favourites like Blu Water Bay, a tsunami pool,


And Adventure River, which is a prettier version of Shiok River in www.
Seriously I loveeeee the grottos, which are lit in brilliant blue (not cresyl) light, 
which makes me feel like a legit mermaid,
and the sections where it overlapped with the marine life aquariums.
We were lucky enough to spot some dolphins too!


The Bay Restaurant within the park allows you to enjoy your meals overlooking the park scenery..


But of course the main point is.. 
It is opposite another locker and showers area which is less crowded HAHAH.

SO MY DEAR FRIENDS READING THIS.
If you ever go AC, dont dump your stuff into the first locker and shower area near the entrance.
Walk all the way in, so it's less crowded, and you can gao dim everything then head out comfortably.


Are we almost the same tone yet? 


Night is still young, and so are we!
Last night out cannot go back so early LOL.
Went for i Light @ Marina Bay despite running around the whole day hahahah.
Started walking from Raffles Place mrt exit.







One of my favourite installations - it feels like contemp dance x light.


This was one of my favourites too !
Its an interactive installation - you use your phone to 'send' elements onto the display,
so it's always changing, depending on what different users combine at that point in time.



Tranquil moments like this with Pok makes me feel so blessed (:

Staycation with le Boyfriend!

I have used up my only school holiday week in September for le Korea trip with my Newsstand girls.
Andddd its finally my final year! Have to chiong finish all modules,
so Taupok will have to settle for our annual holiday in Singapore this year, hehe.

Visited Wanderlust Hotel for this year's staycation!


2 Dickson Road
Singapore 209494
Tel: +65 6396 3322

Of all places, why Wanderlust?
Because it has a really cool concept for their rooms!
All the rooms are themed, either monocolor or by fun themes, inspired by travel.


Look at the cute hotel passport they issued. :D




Taaadaaa! I requested for the Treehouse loft and got my wish granted.
Pok was so happy, he started climbing up and down countless times.

Other than Treehouse, we also caught a sneak peek at the Space themed room.
It has the egg shaped swing inside! Omg thats the next one I wanna go for.

Accomplished a great movie marathon by watching: 
Frozen (LET IT GO), Iron Man 1 to 3, Captain America, and 15 minutes of The Bourne Identity..
before I conked out on the comfortable bed and started drooling. :x


Garrett's Cheesecorn to last us through 5 movies. :D

In between we went to Bugis Junction for dinner! 15 minutes walk away.
Visited Everything with Fries, cause I had a craving for the One Egg Soup.
Poor bf had to eat salad cause he didnt really like the food there.
Thank you pok, for accomodating to me hahah.


the rich and creamy one egg soup. :D


Truffle fries !
part of the reason pok agreed to tag along hahaha.


Tandoori chicken salad.
Pok says its nice, but dont be tricked into thinking he wants a healthy lifestyle.
He tapau-ed KFC on the way back to the hotel wtf.


#couple #selfie!


le idiotic but adorable bf. 
HAHAHAHA LOOK AT HIS TUMMY WTF.


As I booked this stay via Agoda, it included breakfast for two as well !
There is no room service, but Cocotte is right downstairs at the lobby for their hungry guests.



Features communal dining, meaning food comes in large portions, meant for sharing.

But for breakfast they allowed us to eat small. hahahah. 
Choose either American breakfast, homemade pancakes, or fresh fruit bowl. 
They had a semi-buffet, offering cereals, milk, coffee, tea and breads too.



The perfect breakfast consists of Waffle Crisps, milk and bacon.  

Awesome staycation cause I got to spend quality time just lazing around.
休息是为了走更长的路 :D
