Pre-Father's Day Celebration At Marina Bay Sands

We had an early Father's Day dinner today as Kongkong and Mama will be out of town on the actual day next week...  Since all of us have never been to Marina Bay Sands, I decided that we will have buffet dinner at Rise Restaurant in Marina Bay Sands (MBS) Hotel....

As our car approached the hotel lobby, we were greeted by the Car Jocky to do Valet parking...  Service was excellent...  We were early for dinner, so we walked around the hotel, shopping area and towards the Casino...  I have heard so much about MBS being part of the Sands group and how nice it was etc.  However, it fell below my expectation as the flooring and walls were not impressive and not very well polished (I thought)...  It was no where near Las Vegas....

mama didn't have the chance to get into the casino today... so here she is playing the jackpot machine on my iphone.... heeheehee...  no fish, prawn also can.....  oh by the way, she hit the jackpot many times on my iphone...  how nice if it is real....  :)

wow, kongkong seems to be enjoying his food...
next amanda ate fishball kuay teow...  her choice of food weren't very wise though...  all the carbo which later she didn't have much space for other more interesting food....

getting into the car...  kongkong looks really happy as he said goodbye to the staff...
and back home...  amanda, all ready with her luggage to stay at kongkong and mama's house....  she was holding darren's birthday present in her hand...

We had a really relaxing and enjoyable Father's Day celebration dinner tonight... and I am really glad Kongkong and Mama enjoyed themselves so much....  Amanda was equally excited and happy as she followed Kongkong and Mama home straight after dinner...  I'm sure she will have lots of fun with them, especially with cousin Darren....  :))
