Dolce Vita Brunch

Last Saturday we finally took our good friends Jon and Anya to a very very belated THANK YOU for getting us to Singapore champagne brunch at Dolce Vita, located at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.  After a year of moving, stress and getting associated with our new life aboard, we owe Jon and Anya a HUGE THANK YOU for housing us during our first 6 weeks in Singapore (which we could not have taken the risk on this move with out there help) and not only that but introducing us to there social groups and it was Anya who helped me get my job at the ST Regis Hotel, which then gave me a visa that enabled us to rent our home, get our phones and so on.

We had heard so many good things about the food here and we were so excited to stuff our faces silly with food and champagne! This is only the second brunch we've done since moving to Singapore almost a year ago, I've forgotten how fun they were, we MUST do this again!  Every weekend all of the hotels host a free flow champagne brunch with an all you can eat buffet of what I would call "home" food!  Can't wait until the next one!
