With Valentine's day being repetitive every year, we booked a room with Orchard Hotel Singapore this year the night before for a simple celebration! It was super worth it because it only cost about SGD $170/night after tax for a Premier King Room!! Usually it'd cost about $248/night so this means about $70 discount!!! Isn't it cheap!!? We were deciding between a couple hotels in town but thought that this deal was good enough! Booked it through this app called HotelQuickly and it was my 2nd time using their service!! So good! Think discounts and stuff like that ;)
Best thing was... you can not only utilize it in Singapore BUT in other countries as well! Download the app on your mobile now and see what they have to offer. Also remember to use my quote "KCEVH" to get $25 off your first booking! :) CLICK HERE!!

The bed was very comfortable and the cleanliness of the hotel was acceptable. BUTTTTT the pillow was very horrible I had such a bad sleep.. One was too hard that my neck ached like mad and one was too soft to feel anything. Service was great at the reception and concierge, checking in and out was a breeze!! :) There's also UNLIMITED carpark coupons so you can drive out and come back without the worry of paying charges!!! Overall a good stay but once is enough for me unless it's their Signature Club Room!
Headed for dinner at Luke's Oyster Bar and Chophouse next!! It was indeed located quite remotely in Robinsons but finding it was easy with the help of the staffs. We had to ask for directions when we were at level 3 cause there's no point finding every corner of the level. The door was not very prominent but it feels so different once you're in.

| Iced tea with Lemon |
Definitely not your normal iced tea. I think the drink had additional rose syrup which made it kind of weird. However, it was refreshing to my taste bud but the bf was not a fan!
 |
| Oyster Lukefeller SGD $26 - baked oysters with spinach, pernod and parsley |
I rarely eat oysters but these were to die for!! I love how the parmesan on the top goes so well with the spinach and parsley!!
 |
| Luke's Blue label Burger SGD $32 - secret blend, special sauce and house made bun (limited availability) we added 1) cheddar cheese SGD $2 2) house cured bacon SGD $6 and 3) organic fried egg SGD $4 |
All 3 additional ingredients would cost SGD $10 ($2 discount!) but I would strongly suggest to SKIP THE EGG. The egg tasted like the egg I can easily whip up myself at home OMG. Nonetheless, remember to add the first 2 as it goes super well with the burger and worth it!!! One of the nicest burger I've eaten.

| Luke's Bone-in Tenderloin Au Poivre 300gram SD $79 - peppercorn crust & mustard cognac jus |
Enjoyed this dish very much, the last time I had such a good steak at a chophouse was at Lawry's so this came just in time ;) At $79, it was pretty value for money. (Do note the the steak was cut into half in the picture above.)
 |
| Lobster Mac and Cheese SGD $26 wouldn't say this was worth the price but worth a try if you're a mac and cheese lover like me! |
Indeed a delightful and quiet dinner for two of us and although I hope to try more items in the menu, our stomach space doesn't allow them. Till the next time for their oysters and their classics!
Total damage: SGD $220 for two. not too bad yes? Considering it was Valentine's!!
