Brekkie at the Rise buffet has always been a highlight of a stay at the Marina Bay Sands. CJ is into turning ordinary chicken soup into a killer Thai breakfast. How often do you see a red broth chicken soup? His concoction is not for the faint of heart or any other body part.
Rise has a magnificent international buffet.
CJ has discovered he can attend the sake festival by purchasing tickets at the door.
CJ is standing in line waiting for a tasting position to open when someone taps him on the back. Who could possibly know CJ in Singapore?
It is Sammy, the sommelier from Wakuda!
Uber doesn't work in Singapore. They have something similar called Grab. Unable to hail a taxi, CJ uses Grab for the first time to return to MBS.
This evening dinner is the buffet at Rise. We were called to it by the stand of Boston lobsters and opened lobster claws on display our first afternoon. Disappointment sets in from the beginning. Although the food displays are magnificent, the seafood is overcooked with much of it tough to eat. On arrival there are no Boston lobsters. We are done when they arrive. We try one and are disappointed.
This evening, we join James (the bartender) and Miyabi (the female sake sommelier) at Wakuda for after dinner drinks. Front and center in their bar are two tequilas. We have both at home: Don Julio 1942 anejo and Classe Azul reposado.
