<p style="text-align: justify;">Mr Avocado is situated within Alexandra Village Food Centre and has won itself a legion of fans with its Avocado Milkshake. The beverage consists of blended avocado and gula melaka syrup—a creamy drink that we find incredibly addictive.</p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Naked Finn is an inconspicuous restaurant hidden within Gillman Barracks. The laidback ambience and delicious food makes it worth driving (or cabbing) for. Not sure what to order? Well, you won&#8217;t go wrong with their scrumptious Lobster Roll!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69596" alt="Coffee Belt" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Coffee-Belt.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most of us have long formed the impression that hotels, however fancy, tend to serve crappy coffee. But it seems like things are beginning to change for the better in Singapore.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have never come across a more legit specialty coffee shop than this surprise - <strong>The Coffee Belt</strong> at <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/11/park-hotel-alexandra/">Park Hotel Alexandra</a>. It is every bit a coffee lover&#8217;s dream.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-73388"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Open daily till 8pm, the third-wave coffee establishment is a wonderful place to catch up with friends over a good and strong cuppa, or to simply unwind into some me-time in the late afternoons.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Coffee Belt serves topnotch caffeinated beverages &#8211; prepared with Common Man Coffee Roasters&#8217; premium 22 Martin blend &#8211; and a curated selection of snacks. Takeouts are available upon request, too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With over 25 different flavours and types of drinks, The Coffee Belt&#8217;s comprehensive menu will cover everyone&#8217;s differing preferences. We&#8217;ve been there several times, and are still discovering new favourites!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76817" alt="The Coffee Belt" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/The-Coffee-Belt.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From the all-time favourite Aussie flat white (S$6.50), Chai Tea Latte (short &#8211; S$6.50, tall &#8211; S$7) to sinfully rich Iced Blended Coffee Frappe (short &#8211; S$6.50, tall &#8211; S$7), there is a drink for every mood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Daily brews are made lovingly with the extremely popular double-origin 22 Martin Blend, where the beans are sourced from both Alice Estate, Brazil and Veer Attikan, India. Customers can anticipate a fragrant, heavy-bodied coffee with a distinct dark chocolatey aftertaste.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76818" alt="Coffee and Cake" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Coffee-and-Cake.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">See those bottles in the background? They are actually sugar syrup! Love these little thoughts that are put in to surprise guests.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are feeling peckish, know that a handful of bite-size grubs such as Muffin Of The Day (S$4.50) and Plain Croissant (S$3.50) are up for grabs at The Coffee Belt too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are beyond thrilled that excellent Australian-standard coffees are finally emerging in deluxe hotels. Hopefully in time to come, other hotels will soon follow suit!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But for now, The Coffee Belt will be our frequent haunt. We love the quietness and simplicity of the space, and it sure is a refreshing change from the busy coffee houses in town and in the neighbourhoods!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72564" alt="Alexandra Guide" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Alexandra-Guide.jpg" width="710" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Singapore is made up of many small neighbourhoods, each bearing its own charm and treasures. Being born as and growing up as Singaporeans who reside in the West, the Alexandra neighbourhood is particularly close to our hearts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We speak for many when we say Alexandra has so much to offer for that quintessential Singaporean experience. Today, Singapore may be a prosperous first world country, a financial hub, a trading port, a tourism destination &#8211; but all of these cannot hold a candle to the simplest of joys and bittersweet nostalgia we get from the places, food, and activities that we grew up knowing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For one, Alexandra brings much comfort to our souls and while we welcome the new that keeps coming in, the neighbourhood remains one that we will always love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From the olds of Alexandra Village Food Centre and Queensway Shopping Centre to the news of HortPark and <a href="http://www.parkhotelgroup.com/alexandra">Park Hotel Alexandra</a>, here&#8217;s our <strong>guide to Alexandra – 13 Things To See, Do, Eat And Love</strong> about the charming neighbourhood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-72225"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72565" alt="Alexandra Village" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Alexandra-Village.jpg" width="710" height="1072" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#1 ALEXANDRA VILLAGE FOOD CENTRE</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The hawker culture is a big part of Singapore, and it is a lifestyle that we are always proud to share. There are no lack of hawker centres in Singapore, and though the ones that are often in the limelight do not include Alexandra Village Food Centre &#8211; or AV for short &#8211; there is really a lot to love here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">AV operates throughout the day, and you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Popular finds include BBQ Seafood, Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice, Claypot Laksa, and Avocado Milkshake. You might find the last two very endearing, and they sure are. We will talk more about them in a while.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72566" alt="Factory Outlet Store" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Factory-Outlet-Store.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#2 ANCHORPOINT FACTORY OUTLET</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you do not already know, Anchorpoint &#8211; the shopping mall right across Ikea &#8211; is actually a factory outlet. In other words, a sale takes place 365 days a year! It is a rather mixed mall so you pretty much have everything covered.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Residents and visitors alike enjoy the discounts and slashed price all year round. Brands who have boutiques in this mall includes Charles &amp; Keith, Typo, and Cotton On.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72567" alt="Aqua Luna Singapore" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Aqua-Luna-Singapore.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/10/aqua-luna-singapore/" target="_blank">#3 AQUA LUNA &#8211; A SWANKY OPEN-CONCEPT BAR BY THE INFINITY POOL</a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It isn&#8217;t our first time professing our love for new rooftop bar, Aqua Luna, neither would this be our last. Sitting within Park Hotel Alexandra, Aqua Luna is like a gastrobar in the outdoors that offers a splendid view.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Catch the sunset while admiring Alexandra from a different perspective, and munch on bar grubs and mains &#8211; all at the less-than-crowded Aqua Luna.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#4 HORTPARK &#8211; A 22-ACRE PARK CONNECTOR</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dubbed as the first gardening lifestyle hub in Asia, HortPark is a 22-acre park connector that is situated within <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/06/singapore-best-nature-walks/">The Southern Ridges</a>. There is a 10km long trail that is great for a leisure hike. Nature lovers would surely love it here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#5 IKEA &#8211; FURNITURE SHOPPING</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because you need not have a new home to shop for furniture. We are sure many of you agree when we say a day spent randomly strolling in Ikea is our idea of fun. There is something therapeutic about walking through the different &#8220;rooms&#8221; and set-ups, and of course, we need to satisfy our craving for Swedish meat balls before we leave.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72593" alt="Moonlight Hor Fun" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Moonlight-Hor-Fun.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#6 KENG ENG KEE SEAFOOD RESTAURANT FOR ITS MOONLIGHT HOR FUN</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Possibly one of the most famous old-school restaurants in the West, Keng Eng Kee (KEK) is your typical &#8220;tze char&#8221; restaurant, but their popularity over the decades have brought about expansion to the business, and today, KEK is a big scale restaurant that occupies two units, on top of its resident tables in the coffee shop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our all-time favourites are the Moonlight Hor Fun, Claypot Pig Liver, and Salted Egg Yolk Crab.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72568" alt="Janggut Laksa" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Janggut-Laksa.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#7 BATTLE OF THE BEST LAKSA </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No, Katong is not the place to go for Laksa. Alexandra is. Because the three best ones in Singapore are all concentrated in this neighbourhood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You have Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa, 328 Katong Laksa, and Janggut Laksa all in one area. What more can you ask for in life, really?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72570" alt="Furniture Shop" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Furniture-Shop.jpg" width="710" height="1065" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#8 OLD SCHOOL FURNITURE SHOPS</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can hardly find such old school furniture shops in Singapore anymore. Think rattan chairs, wooden tables, and all that our grandparents used to seek comfort in. Alexandra sure invokes a sense of nostalgia every time we are in the hood; even more so when we walk past these shops.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72573" alt="Singapore Park Hotel Alexandra" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Singapore-Park-Hotel-Alexandra.jpg" width="710" height="461" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/11/park-hotel-alexandra/" target="_blank">#9 PARK HOTEL ALEXANDRA &#8211; A MODERN HOTEL WITH INFINITY POOL, PREMIUM ROAST BUFFET RESTAURANT AND SWANKY BAR</a><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The addition of Park Hotel Alexandra, the first hotel within the district, will change the facade of the neighbourhood forever, but we are embracing this change. Complete with an infinity pool that overlooks the green belt of the <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/06/singapore-best-nature-walks/">Southern Ridges</a>, a premium roast buffet, one of the most gorgeous bars in Singapore and a stylish coffee place all within the premise, Park Hotel Alexandra is a charming one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69591" alt="Infinity Pool" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Infinity-Pool.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may wonder what it is like to do a staycation within a residential area, and we will tell you it is nothing short of wonderful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The hotel is modernistic in design with a tranquil vibe, spacious and clean. And we love the outdoor infinity pool so much – it’s like a resort but in the city! Deck chairs are aplenty for you to kick off your shoes and to unwind with your Kindle or magazines. If all else fails, the stunning bar will keep you occupied.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72576" alt="Queensway Shopping Centre" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Queensway-Shopping-Centre.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#10 QUEENSWAY SHOPPING CENTRE IS THE GO-TO PLACE FOR SPORTS EQUIPMENTS</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No secret, right? Everyone knows to go to Queensway Shopping Centre for a one-stop &#8220;solution&#8221; for all our sporting needs. The prices are usually 10% lower than town&#8217;s, and you can find just about any sports brand here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By the way, Janggut Laksa is the very crowded stall in the middle of Level 1.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72584" alt="Avocado Milkshake" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Avocado-Milkshake.jpg" width="710" height="1065" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#11 THE FAMOUS AVOCADO MILKSHAKE</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You would have known by now that Alexandra Village Food Centre is synonymous with Avocado Milkshake. For some reason, Mr Avocado Exotic Juice at Alexandra Village Food Centre does it so right that Singaporeans now know Alexandra for his milkshake.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the uninitiated, it is simply a refreshing drink of blended avocado with gula melaka syrup. You have to try it to understand how that creamy goodness is so addictive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72591" alt="Salute Pork Knuckle" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Salute-Pork-Knuckle.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#12 SALUTE COFFEESHOP</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is not your usual coffee shop. Here at Salute, expect new-age finds of European and Western food &#8211; all in a coffee shop setting.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The stalls include Two Wings for their fried chicken wings (which were sadly mediocre), Stew Kuche for crackly German Pork Knuckle, and Immanuel French Kitchen that dishes out pretty affordable Duck Confit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72585" alt="Old Confectionery Shop" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Old-Confectionery-Shop.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#13 TRADITIONAL CONFECTIONERY SHOPS</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have all sorts of fancy bakeries in town, but regrettably, the number of traditional confectionery shops have been on the decline.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Modernisation had us realising the beauty of these traditional confectionery shops where we can still find old-school bread loaves, buttercream cakes and homemade spreads. These were what we grew up eating, and at Alexandra, we can count on Love Confectionery and Chinatown Tai Chong Kok Confectionery Hue Kee.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As one of the newest hotels added to our cityscape, <a href="http://www.parkhotelgroup.com/alexandra">Park Hotel Alexandra</a> is a hotel quite unlike the others in town. You might think it is strange to build a hotel in a relatively old neighbourhood, but that is precisely what had us falling in love.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Park Hotel Alexandra is no less polished and modern, and we have since had two staycations at the property. You bet we loved it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Complete with an infinity pool, a premium roast buffet, one of the most gorgeous bars in Singapore and a stylish coffee place all within the premise, Park Hotel Alexandra is a charming one and here is <strong>Why You Should Avoid The Crowd in Town And Whisk Away to Park Hotel Alexandra</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To celebrate its grand opening, Park Hotel Alexandra has launched <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/trailsofalexandra">TRAILS OF ALEXANDRA</a>, an interactive, discovery-oriented Facebook campaign. Stand to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">win attractive prizes including a 1-night staycation in a suite</span> by answering a fun-filled quiz that revolves around the Alexandra neighbourhood! Scroll to the end of the article to find out more.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-69009"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69589" alt="Alexandra" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Alexandra.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Situated just beside Ikea @ Alexandra, <a href="http://www.parkhotelgroup.com/alexandra">Park Hotel Alexandra</a> is barely five months old. There is something about new hotels that we love; perhaps it is the exploration part and all the first impressions. Like an empty canvas waiting to be painted on, we stepped in with zero expectations. And we were welcomed by a nature-inspired oasis.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;">Park Hotel Alexandra boasts earthy tones and muted colours, creating a warm environment that is homely and comforting. It is very much unlike your typical business hotels which can come across as serious to some, and the fact that it sits within the charming neighbourhood of Alexandra makes it even better when you need somewhere quiet to put up at.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69590" alt="Aqua Luna" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Aqua-Luna.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Being pretty much self-contained, <a href="http://www.parkhotelgroup.com/alexandra">Park Hotel Alexandra</a> will keep you occupied during your stay. It is akin to a resort stay, where everything is within the property and there is no need to step out to meet the world at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69591" alt="Infinity Pool" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Infinity-Pool.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We will begin with the infinity pool that sits on the seventh floor. Who can resist taking a dip here?! This 25-metre infinity pool overlooks Alexandra neighbourhood, including the iconic building The Interlace and <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/06/singapore-best-nature-walks/">endless greenery of the Southern Ridges</a>. It is one respite that you&#8217;d need from all the hustle and bustle, and what makes the pool even better is the swim-up bar. Enjoy some cocktails or a glass of fresh juice in the calming waters; sounds like life, ain&#8217;t it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69593" alt="Park Hotel Alexandra Bar" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Park-Hotel-Alexandra-Bar.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And then, we have the bar. You would never expect to find such a swanky open-concept bar in Alexandra, until <a href="http://www.ladyironchef.com/2015/10/aqua-luna-singapore/">Aqua Luna</a> came along. This gem of Park Hotel Alexandra is quite the perfect spot for some after-work drinks, or if you simply want a non-crazy place to enjoy your drinks in the company of your precious ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69594" alt="Aqua Luna Bar" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Aqua-Luna-Bar.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Honestly, funky bars in the city centre are aplenty, but you have to settle with the crowd, and that is what we do not like. And that is also why Aqua Luna is for us, where we wind down with cocktails and a beautiful sunset.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From now till 13 November 2015, quote “ladyironchef” when you reserve your table at Aqua Luna and get 50% off your second drink (of lower value). Advance reservation is required, with a minimum of 2 guests (up to 12 adult patrons) in a single bill.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69703" alt="The Carvery" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/The-Carvery.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.parkhotelgroup.com/alexandra/the-carvery-,dining_viewItem_392-en.html">The Carvery</a> is the hotel&#8217;s only restaurant, but it suffices to feed every carnivore. Primarily a buffet restaurant that specializes in meat (you guessed that from its name, yes?), The Carvery offers a gastronomical experience with its different roasts and meats. It is a dream for meat lovers, and while we are sucker for seafood when it comes to buffet, we&#8217;d gladly trade them for this spread at The Carvery.</p>
<p>By the way, if you are there for dinner, they serve what is easily the best Yorkshire pudding in Singapore – you have to try it yourself!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69596" alt="Coffee Belt" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Coffee-Belt.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Need some coffee? Head down to the lobby and you will be welcomed by the aroma of fresh brew from <a href="http://www.parkhotelgroup.com/alexandra/the-coffee-belt-,dining_viewItem_412-en.html">The Coffee Belt</a>. This new kid in town is one sexy coffee place who is serious about its coffee.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Though minimalistic in appearance, the coffee packs a punch and the barista makes latte art for takeaways too! The pastries and sweets are such pleasers, particularly, the Valrhona dark chocolate cake is awesome – moist and decadent with melty chocolate bits within, and topped with sea salt to balance the sweetness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69597" alt="Park Hotel Alexandra Room" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Park-Hotel-Alexandra-Room.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And of course, you must be wondering about the rooms now. We stayed on the 19th floor, which is the highest of three Club Room levels; we are too spoilt by the convenience of a club room. The rooms and suites come in different configurations, but the similarity of them all lies in the spanking clean interior with contemporary touches. Two different views to pick from &#8211; city or pool. We&#8217;d pick the pool anytime.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">All rooms come with a 42&#8243; full HD Smart LED TV, and are equipped with wifi, so you can surf without worrying about chalking up your bills. Your basic needs are definitely met with pressed sheets, fresh towels, premium toiletries, and the other miscellaneous such as coffee and tea making facilities.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69598" alt="Park Hotel Alexandra Club Lounge" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Park-Hotel-Alexandra-Club-Lounge.jpg" width="710" height="471" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The strategic location makes it a refreshing alternative from the hotels in the city. Highly accessible via public transport with neighbouring shopping malls, food centres and offices, Park Hotel Alexandra is just minutes away from the city centre; you get the convenience, and you get the peace.</p>
