Champagne Brunch

As you can tell from reading our past posts, at this point we've done just about all the "Singapore tourists stops". About 2 weeks ago we were able to cross another one off the list.

A favorite past time for expats in Singapore is the free flow champagne brunch on Sundays. We've heard about them for months but because they are SO expensive we hadn't been able to talk ourselves into going. That all changed when some friends talked us into going to one at the Grand Hyatt hotel. According to them, it's the best one in town so we decided to try it.

From 11:30 to 3:00 you have all the food, wine, champagne, mojitos and bloody mary's you can drink. Most people stick to the champagne (since that's really what you're paying for) and boy did we go through our fair share! I would love to know just how many bottles the 7 of us put down, but they made that impossible to keep track of since they were refilling our glasses after every sip.

We didn't think there was any way we would make up the $300 SGD that we spent to get in. But, taking into account the way we felt the next day I would venture to say we did a pretty good job!

After the brunch was over we headed out to a house party. We attempted to take a few photos of our fun day out, but these were the only one's that really made any sense!

(Cute dog that was at the party as well. He was so good, even with a bunch of drunk people around!)

On another note we finally tried the famous hawker center near our place this past weekend. I was able to get my favorite noodles (mee goreng) and they were so good! Not to mention I got a huge box and it was only $4.00 SGD (about US$2.75)! It was so big I couldn't even finish it!

The countdown has begun for our trip home. We are less than 2 months away and going stir crazy thinking about how close it is. I'm sure you will hear about it in every post from now until then!

Only 56 days to go and counting!
