After weeks of hard work at office decided to have a weekend off in Mandarin Oriental. I checked into the hotel sometime around 2.30pm and headed straight to Lounge In The Park for the afternoon tea session.
I ordered the tea set which comes with assortment of sandwiches, scones, durian mochi, cakes and pudding, I liked the scones the best which goes very well with the various types of jam provided.
After tea, we checked into the Twin Towers View room facing the Petronas Twin Tower. It was a comfy and spacious room that comes with the basic necessities normally found in a 5 stars hotel but I especially liked the working table which allow me to do some computing work comfortably.
Check out the view from our room. Wow....
I also found this complimentary drink on the table. It was a apple and vanilla flavoured soda. Not bad... I give this hotel extra points for this.
In the evening, we headed to Mandarin Grill for dinner. It is a fine dining restaurant. Wifey and I ordered half dozen oysters and and a bowl of clam chowder as starters. They also served a complimentary plate of cheese with two types of dip sauce.
What else can I say? The oysters were really fresh and the clam chowder was delicious and goes very well with the complimentary bread. The cheese was not too much of our liking.
For the mains, we ordered a plate of lobster and sirloin steak each to share. The service staff was helpful enough to arrange it to be separated on individual plates. In fact they also did it with the clam chowder which was great so that Wifey and I were able to enjoy our dinner comfortably :).
Right after we asked for the bill, we were given a box of chocolate that went quite well with the white wine that we ordered. Overall, I find the food quality to be quite good but I think the customer service is the one that they really excel in. The staff were friendly and do try to strike conversations with us at times. On the downside, the restaurant menu was quite limited and I would prefer a wider selection of choices.
Concluding this blog entry with the picture of Petronas Twin Tower at night which was taken right outside from my room. :)
