Part I: RWS, Starz @HardRock

~

Having wanting to have a look at the newly built IR, RWS. I requested the 'the visit' to be on my birthday since we were thinking of a place to dine. So RWS it was...

~

Mode of transportation to RWS? Many.

By car, by public buses, by sentosa express, cable car or even by shuttle bus at AMK/Bishan/Jurong East/Tampines/Tiong Bahru.

~

Upon arrival, the ground where you will first step into is known as Festiva Terrace.

(don't the roof look similar to the ones at Clarke Quay?)

~

At Festiva Terrace, you'll be mesmerized by how beautiful the Lake of Dreams can be especially when night falls.

~

~

Taking the resort guide, we discovered a shortcut to Hard Rock Hotel on the map but couldn't find it or rather it was a road block so we had to go by the longer way. At least we could explore more.

~

At Level 1 of The Forum, one can find F&B outlets like 'The Big Easy', 'Hard Rock Cafe', 'Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf', 'Brunette & Social House', 'Seventh Heaven', Asia Street Gourmet such as 'Baits' and Retail shops like 'The Oaks Cellar'.

behind this giant mirror lies a hidden entrance to the kitchen

~

Our journey continues as we passed by Universal Studio (still ever as crowded)

~

The Bull Ring which is situated in the heart of RWS has a shop that sells the most addictive popcorns - Garrett (worth trying!)

~
And then they have Hershey's. (my childhood favourite!)

~

Walking up the flight of steps of the Festiva Terrace, I was amazed by the statues and leaf-like poll lights.

~

~

Very tall statues of Adam & Eve.

This area links to 3 different locations - Galleria (which links to Festive Hotel), Crockfords Tower or Hotel Michael.

~

my fav. window display

~

As we are heading towards Hard Rock, we had to go by Galleria's route.
A row of luxury brands such as Bally, Bulgari, Canali, Chanel Watches, Chopard, Coach, Jimmy Choo, Omega, Eye-Spy, Damiani, Dunhill, Ralph Lauren, Rolex, Shanghai Tang, Victoria's Secret and many others are offered for customers and/or for in-house guests.

shortcut to the Casino located at B1

~

Love the interesting colorful lantern lights at the Lobby of Festive Hotel

~

This way to Starz Restaurant...

~

I like the concept of the see through gym but the only problem is its location (i sure don't wanna have passersby looking in while i'm doing my workout)

~

Comparing all the hotels, Hard Rock's design and concept is my favourite. Very classy indeed. With it's dim lighting playing a part, it made the whole atmosphere really cozy.

Overlooking the buffet line

~

I was too hungry to take every photo of the food but here are some..ohh so good!

~

~

the coffee ice cream was no joke. so different from the usual coffee ice cream at other buffets i've tried.
