Lantern @ The Fullerton Bay Hotel





Well well, u know i love e sea.. and mummy and i love quiet places.. n, mummy kind of got into Fullerton area craze a few mths back.. so somehow I found out abt this place and wanted to check it out.. we wanted to try it especially after our stint @ The Fullerton itself, this one, faces the MBS, so much better, in fact, Lantern has the best view, but I'm sure the other two dining @ Fullerton Bay Hotel have great views too..

Its quite silly if u noticed the 'Reserved' sign on the table. All the tables have this sign. We wanted this table, but the waiter showed us to another. The place is like FULLY empty. lol.. but he said THIS is THE reserved table. I gently probed what time the reservation is for, and he gave up, giving us the 'Reserved' table we chose.

Its a place with really relaxing music, and wonderful view. Puts u at ease the moment u sink into the chair. Ordered e orange juice. Tasted good. But there was a fruit fly in it. They replaced it for me, with another fruit fly. lol. So I gave up, returned them the orange juice and was not charged.

Asked the waiter for recommendations on bites. The waiter isn't v great. Its a fair skinned guy. I preferred the darked skinned waiter, more smiles, more cheerful. Makes one's experience more amiable too. The not so friendly waiter took our orders. He mentioned two recommendations on e menu for bites, some beef and another duck spring roll as below. Its niche, but okay. Taste good, but cannot taste the duck. There's quite abit of spices in the spring roll and the taste of seaweed over powers that of the duck. There isn't much food on the menu by the way.

Its actually a drinking place. Lantern's menu has loads of drinks. Put a mental note to ask Leng there an a wed night. They have some promotion i think. We also ordered this satay. the preferred choice, yummy and cheaper than spring rolls. satay - $18, spring rolls - $25.

Spotted this boat travelling around the Bay though. I wonder, its an Audi? Who sits on it? Will prefer to sail on more choppy waters, really. haha...
