Visited on 17 Feb 2015 (Tues). LeVeL33 is the World's Highest Urban Craft-brewery restaurant, one can experience an exceptional dining experience complete with the best view of Singapore's Marina Bay and city skyline.

Weekday Semi-Lunch Buffet: $33++ per person. (Semi buffet of appetizers and desserts with a choice of Main Course ordered) 

Time: 11.30am - 2.30pm

Note: Drinks are not included

Walk in to take a lift up to level 33!






This is the restaurant entrance when you're up to level 33.






If you're early, you can have a seat here first at their lounge area to enjoy the greenery view..







Level 33's signature craft beers are freshly brewed here using their copper brew house kettle! Choose from Blond Larger, Indian Pale Ale, Stout, House Porter or Wheat Beer.








This seating area has the best city skyline view!









There're two private rooms, with a capacity of up to 11 guests per room, and 26 guests when combined, for sit-down dining. You can hold Private Events here or if you prefer some privacy, you can reserve the seats here ... (Advanced booking required) 










 



Enjoy some crafted beer or wine with stunning view at alfresco!






I like the seats here as there is a ledge at the side that I can put my handbag on it comfortably! :)


Semi buffet of appetizers and desserts 


Very limited selection of desserts.. 




Farmed Cheeses


Smoked Salmon and Shrimps with black pepper - Yummy!



Ham..


Pasta and Salads









Wine Menu


Crafted Beer Menu till 8pm

Blond Lager - 0.3 litre at $9.33
Very Refreshing, smooth, light bodied, slightly fruity craft beer! Best for ladies!









Main Course Menu Selection for Weekday Lunch


Choice of One Main Course: Their Signature Fish & Chips

Tempura of dory fillet, fat cut chips, crushed peas and sauce tartare. I like the super curved up shape of their fish & chips, very presentable! The tempura dory fillet was extremely tender inside and crispy outside but the overall taste was a tad bland. The fat cut chips was decent. This main course is very popular here!



Choice of One Main Course: Weekly Specials - Fishcake
Salmon & cod potato cake, buttered spinach, lemon beurre blanc and tomato caraway relish. Did not expect this to taste good.. The salmon and cod was moist and tender on the inside, and crispy on the outside, complemented well with nice lemon sauce!


Their Ala Carte Dinner Menu
Indulge in an extensive à la carte dinner menu featuring dishes artfully put together that pleases both the eye and palate. LeVeL33’s freshly brewed craft beers and delectable dinner menu are a definite palate pleaser!



Overall Impression: Service was quite good except the long wait for the bill that day, so do ask for the bill earlier.. The main course were quite good. The semi buffet were more to healthy selection, dessert buffet tasted decent but the selection was boring.. Hope to see some improvement in the dessert buffet! 

LeVeL33 has the BEST City Skyline view in Singapore among sky-high restaurants. To be able to dine with such excellent view at affordable prices, LeVeL33 is great for a casual weekday lunch or romantic dinner and drinks on special occasions!

Visited on 14 Feb 2015 (Sat) - Valentine's Day! Makan@Jen is situated in the new 4-star hotel at prime location and was launched in Sep 2014. An all-day dining restaurant that offers both a la carte and buffet-style options with a variety of cooking stations, make-your-own salad options, local temptations and international treats.

The moment I stepped into Makan@Jen, I was like "Wow"... Cos there's only a few hotel restaurants in full glass window with some view in Singapore and this restaurant is so big and airy, it really gives people a very delightful impression upon arrival.

Look out for this small signboard to Makan@Jen!

And finally these are the back seats near the bar counter and beautiful alfresco garden!



This is the beautiful alfresco garden just outside Makan@Jen! You can actually come out to enjoy breeze and relax before or after your meal ...








Really appreciate the effort of the team for their sweet artwork deco on every desk for VDay - Great I'm Yours! :-D

A small gift for every couple - Jellybean (Would prefer maybe a small heart shape photo frame, keychain or chocolate maybe?)




The coffee from this machine was really quite good!


A few selections from Dilmah Tea! 




Free flow of Iced Peach Tea, Iced Water and Iced Lemon Tea!



All these seafood will greet you first when you enter the restaurant!








Baked Lobster with cheese and mushroom! Delish!



Grilled Lobster!



Marinated Squid and Grilled Salmon! Their marinated squid was fantastic! The squid was Q and the marinated sauce was super yummy - Keep going back for more - Must try! The grilled salmon was decent, a tad tough..



Make your own Rojak!


Bread Counter






Laksa!




The roasted duck was quite nice except the meat was a tad tough...


Dim Sum




More Seafood Behind






I like the chilli crab sauce, thick with a tad spicy! They have mantou for you to dip the sauce too! Look-out for this, crab lovers!












Make your own salad



Dessert Counter



Desserts in chiller
I think it's good to have desserts placed in a chiller so that the desserts will remain chilled no matter we have it how long later!



Mini Swiss Roll



Tiramisu
Surprisingly the tiramisu here was very good! The texture, cocoa powder and the sweetness were all just right with aromatic espresso taste!



Baked Cheese Cake


Lemon Tart



Pandan Creme Caramel
I'm a super Pandan lover and I was so happy to see there's a dessert with Pandan! My first time seeing creme caramel in pandan and it really complemented so well!! The creme caramel pudding was so smooth with the pandan fragrance in it made it even more delish! Definitely met my high expectations, really feel like having this all by myself! Hahaha! Must-try if you see this!



Kopi-O Tart (Coffee Tart)
Haha so funny to see this word kopi-o in a dessert. It really brings out the strong kopi-o taste that woke me up!


Apple Pound Cake
The apple pound cake was soft and quite nice!






Small chocolate fondue station.



8 flavours of Ice-Cream!





Overall Impression: The service here was very efficient, plates were cleared regularly, requests were attended promptly until around 8+pm, the service started to slack.. 

The variety of the food and dessert were not that much compared to other hotels, which is why the price is slightly lower too. I wouldn't say their seafood buffet was great but overall not bad! 

Desserts were fairly good too, but still need some creativity and improvements. Perhaps can have different types of dessert, not just mostly cakes, seemed a little boring. Maybe can have some in shooter glass, or more pudding or some creme brulee etc so that it can make the dessert counter look more appealing, not so dull ...

I was quite surprised the ambience here was quite quiet as the guests who dine here seemed to be very refined, probably there isn't any large group with loud laughter... The staff here were mostly very young and dressed casually and it made the whole place very relaxing to dine at. 

This is a place that you must go - Cosy, Comfy, Relax and Not Bad Food!

And here we go - Complimentary glass of champagne from Perrier Jouet for each diner at Baywatch @Jen on level 19 after the dinner buffet (Only on Vday)









Unwind with a glass of champagne in front of fantastic city view! 



Their Beverages menu
Very affordable price here! I'll be back here again! :)



I preferred Baywatch@Jen compared to Skypark@MBS as this place is not so crowded, more cosy and relax feel with some appropriate volume of music playing in the background. Poolside + Spectacular panoramic view of the city + Very Affordable Beverages - This is definitely a new Must-Go place to chill out with your love ones or friends!
