Dinner at the Top

It been years since I last eaten at the chatterbox.. It has now moved to the 39th floor (used to be Top of the M) of Meritus Mandarin as the hotel is currently undergoing renovation..

Initally I was looking forward to the experience.. since I've never been to Top of the M.. but the journey of getting there is terrible due to the renovation work.. The hotel front walkway is close up.. I need to walk to the side door.. take the lift to 5th floor and change for the another lift to 38/39th floor.. The seat was fantastic.... overlooking Orchard road.. I was hoping that I can see the X'mas lighting at a bird eye view but to my disappointment I can't see anything at all.. the view is just pitch dark with blocks of condo.. The 39th floor resturant have not undergo renovation yet thus the place don't leave a great impression on my mind.. Is unlike the view at Equinox - Swissotel Stamford.. sigh..

What I eat? of cos, the fave chicken rice.. It is now priced at S$22 per set.. I won't think it is fantastic as there are many popular chicken rice stalls in Singapore and the price is not as expensive as this one.. To pay those kind of price, I would expect a "special" feeling..



After dinner, I walked along Orchard Road to see the lighting.. there are still many people shopping in Taka and Wisma.. where is the pressure of economic crisis?!?! :)
