This entry is a bit overdue, but let me still blog about it because my experience dining in this resto was just unforgettable.

The Paramount is a restaurant located inside The Paramount Hotel, located in East Coast Road, Singapore. As we entered the vicinity, it was full of quiet shops and bars which were closed during noontime, and it wasn’t lively and bright at all - as compared to other establishments in Singapore. But then, as we reached the end of the ground floor ( walking further ), then, we finally saw the busy atmosphere of the usual Chinese restaurant on a Sunday lunch - waitresses running around, buffet tables, tables of families in their warm chatter, oh, it seemed like home.

Dimsum in The Paramount is only served during lunchtime, and we did not avail of the dimsum buffet since we wanted to order other food. But then, the dimsum served were really, really tres delicious. Can I say heaven?

A few weeks ago, my friends and I went on a very spontaneous trip to Bintan, Indonesia. With the lack of good beaches here, they say that the nearest good beach around would be an hour’s worth of ferry ride from the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, to Bintan, Indonesia. I was more than game to get my dose of beach-lovin`, for I love, love going to the beach!

I promise you better photos when I go back, for the weather wasn’t so nice when we went there - it was pouring. My goodness. We only managed to stay for a night there and return the day after, but one unforgettable thing we did there was definitely dining in Saffron, one of Banyan Tree’s fine dining restaurants.

Banyan Tree is one, big luxurious spa resort that has really jaw dropping pool villas and accommodations. As we checked in the Angsana Resort, the resort nearby Banyan Tree, we requested to be driven there for dinner. We dined in Saffron, a very Asian ( well, Thai and Indonesian, to be exact ) restaurant, and from the moment we went in, we were mesmerized.
