Sunday brunch day

Catherine's sweet potato latte - it was as gross as it sounds!

When Catherine and Jeff told us that they were going to be coming to stay, we earmarked their visit as the only time in these six months that we would be attending a proper champagne brunch. I am not sure that they were entirely ready for what this would entail, but we were, and we’ve been dieting for the past 5 months in preparation!

Brunching! 

Along with Kev and Jules, we had booked ourselves in for brunch at Raffles Hotel, not only because the food is amazing, but because one must-drink item on every visitors list is the classic Singapore Sling, which was first served in Raffles, and is this year celebrating it’s 100^th anniversary, so with brunch at Raffles, where the cocktails are free flow we were really killing two birds with one stone. It would have been foolish not to!

            After taking Catherine to try out the local favourite “sweet potato latte” (which yes, is as disgusting as it sounds) while Jeff had a quick dip, we were then at Raffles and ready to brunch as soon as the clock stuck midday.

Brunch recovery 

Four hours of free-flow all you can eat and drink then passed in a blur of stomach aches for everyone other than Jeff who somehow managed to clear an impressive five plates stacked high with food, and a ridiculous amount of cocktails to accompany them.

Pool time 

By the end of the session, we found ourselves reclining outside, trying to digest as much as possible before taking a little tour around the rest of Raffles and then heading home to recover in the swimming pool for a few hours.

3D viewing and minimal moving around for the rest of the day 

We had mentioned to Nicks uncle, who is passing through town, that we might have been able to meet up with him for dinner if he wanted, but when he called us at 7pm to see what we were up to we were already all lying on and around the sofa in the recovery position, drinking tea and watching Jurassic World in 3D on Nick’s fancy projector. There were no more adventures for us that day, just PJs and tea for the rest of the day!
