The Rose Marie Suite offers the grandeur and charm of an aristocratic mansion. It boasts with their spacious lounge, leather-panelled study, lavish bedroom with a walk-in closet, bathroom with sauna, pantry and a grand dining room with its own rooftop garden, all serviced by a private lift.
We were told that a night's stay at this suite would cost approximately SGD $5,000 and this is definitely one of the best luxurious deluxe hotel suite in Singapore. I was just going to slip into the bathroom to grab a bathrobe and pretend that I'm a guest while the others look around. It later occurred to me that I was just having too much imagination. Maybe I would stay for one night next time :)

Savoury and Sweet Takeaways From The Deli (1 to 26 December 2014)
Steamed Baked Turkey ($198 for eight to 12 persons)
Created by Executive Chef Foo Jong Kwang, this unique Asian-style turkey is a winning combination of tender meat stuffed with freshly peeled whole chestnuts, black mushrooms, bamboo shoots, carrots and spring onions. The dish is redolent with comforting and robust tastes from the oyster sauce-braised vegetables and fragrant 'jin hua' ham - a cured speciality ham from Zhejiang. The two-hour steam bake process ensures ultimate succulence and retention of flavours. It is coated with glistening gravy made from drippings and served with homemade yam rice.
Mustard crusted U.S. Kurobuta pork rack ($368 for six to eight persons)
Sure to send any roast pork lover to delirious joy is the traditional favourite done to perfect crisp and impeccably paired with zesty cabbage. The chef's homemade smoked gravy is the understated but memorable sidekick.

This sturdy serving of caramel pound cake layered with creamy salted caramel and almonds is generously coated with a nutty milk chocolate glaze, decorated with whole almonds and dainty dark chocolate squares. 
Petite Hazelnut Christmas Tree ($16 per piece)
Inspired by the 'religieuse' - a confection made from choux pastry cases piped with cream and stacked to resemble a nun's habit, this miniature delight is made with three hazelnut cream filled cases. To recreate a 'snow-capped' look, a layer of white chocolate glazed marzipan are used.
