Pet-friendly Cafe

Hubby and I brought Oscar to a pet-friendly cafe to have afternoon tea. The al fresco area is pet-friendly and it's called Simplicite. 

Ordered some desserts and drinks and the staff was friendly, helpfully described the desserts to my hubby and they served the food quite fast as the items are off-the-shelf besides the drinks. Below is the menu for drinks and desserts. 

 The menu is so cute :)

The cafe is a corner shop and it is not stuffy due to many fans were provided in the al fresco area. 

Ordered two desserts and two drinks as hubby and I will be heading for dinner after that. 

Sunny Cheeselet (SGD 13)

Cookiecrumb Loaf (SGD 13)

Drinks - Pistachio Latte (SGD 8.80) and Double Chocolat (SGD 8.80)

As you can see from the photos, both the desserts and drinks were so cute. 

For the Sunny Cheeselet (SGD 13), the portion is not very big. I thought it will have cheesy taste but it has a strong mango taste. Suitable for those who likes to eat mango. As for the Cookiecrumb Loaf (SGD 13), it is made of mousse and the texture is a bit sticky. It contains Biscoff cream which makes it yummy. 

For the drinks, first time for me to try Pistachio Latte (SGD 8.80). The best part is it is non-caffeine which suits people like me who don't drink caffeine drinks. The pistachio taste is just right, not too heavy but the portion is a bit less (I thought it should be full cup). 

For the Double Chocolat (SGD 8.80), my hubby ordered with ice, which need to top up another SGD 1.10 for it. Hubby said due to too much ice, so the Double Chocolat became less tasty. 

This shop do not have service charge and it's a good option to consider for Pawparents like us. They have food also besides desserts. The shop also offered high tea set too but I have yet to try it. Will try it out next time~

As usual, I end it with some photos of us with Oscar. 

Furkid Retreat

Few days ago, was my hubby's birthday and hubby and I decided to bring our furkid, Oscar for a staycation in Sofitel Sentosa Resort and Spa. The day before the staycation, Oscar was very happy when he saw his clothes in the luggage, 

Oscar: Daddy and Mummy, I am ready to go~

                                     

The Furkid Retreat package included one night stay in the luxury room with garden view (you may choose from the different types of room during booking and the price may varies according to your room type), pet amenity box, buffet breakfast and set dinner for two at Kwee Zeen and complimentary use of a pet bed. Hubby and I were lucky that the hotel staff gave complimentary room upgrade. 

The check-in process went smooth and Oscar looked so happy and excited while waiting to check-in the hotel. 

As you can see from the photo, the hotel is like Balinese style resort. Once entered the room, we saw the birthday decoration and complimentary gifts from the hotel for my hubby and we managed to take a nice family photo and some photos and videos of the room.  

The luxury room is spacious (around 38 sqm of space) which comes with a plush Sofitel Mybed (very comfortable bed), a separate bathtub and rain shower, premium bath amenities from Paris, modern technology like a 49-inch smart TV, mini bar with coffee machine (with TWG teas) and also internet access.

However, due to the hotel room door is a bit heavy and it's not soft close type, ended there are some noise interruptions from nearby rooms when visitors opened or closed their doors. Hope the hotel will look into this issue to improve. 

Oscar was happy to be pampered with his amenities boxes which consists of Fuzzyard toys, treats, many types of food (including kibbles, can food and dry food), poo bags, pet wipes, diapers and Fuzzyard bowls. To me, the stuff given by the hotel for furkid(s) are premium grade. 

After enjoying the room facilities, hubby and I brought Oscar to the nearest beach which is Tanjong Beach. The weather was nice on that day (not hot) and managed to take some photos. Had stopped by the Tanjong Beach Club to have some drinks and tidbits. Ordered the Pina Colada and truffles fries. The staff were friendly and helped us took photo. 

Although the distance to Tanjong Beach was not far but had to walk many staircases and it was quite tiring. It would be great if the hotel can provide pet-friendly shuttle bus to all the nearby beaches (anyway, just a suggestion :) ). If you are driving, my suggestion would be going to other nearby beaches with your car which have nearby parking lots.  

After walking so many staircases, I was fortunate enough to spot a place which can do fish foot spa, also known as an "ichthyotherapy" or "fish pedicure" and Zen with Oscar and hubby at one of the corner of the hotel lobby. 

                                                

                                                 

At evening time, hubby and I brought Oscar to Kwee Zeen to have our dinner. The Kwee Zeen staff was very friendly and gave us a nice table. Below are the dishes hubby and I ordered. 

Starter - Mushroom Soup. 

  

 

Starter - Chicken Satay 

Main Course- Lobster Roll

Main Course - Cajun Chicken

                                                               

                 

               Dessert - Mango Pomelo Pudding

    

After dinner and some walks around Sentosa, we headed back to our hotel. Oscar was happily playing with his two new toys from the amenity box. 

Oscar : Mummy, can I bath in this bathtub?

Mummy: No 

During the night, Oscar slept on the bed provided by the hotel. He was very obedient. He pee and poo at the pee pad provided for him also. I think if you wish to know can you bring your furkid(s) to vacation, a staycation would be a good start to learn to know his behavior when he's not at home. 

The next morning, hubby and I brought Oscar to Kwee Zeen to have our buffet breakfast. The selection is wide and consists of many varieties of food and drinks. As usual, I ended this with a family photos. :)

Overall, had a wonderful time at Sofitel Sentosa Resort and Spa, especially our furkid, Oscar and would recommend to those who wish to bring their furkid(s) for staycation. Their Furkid Retreat package starting from SGD 578 ++ Below is the link.
