This will be a short post of my re-visit to SweetSpot @ Marina Bay Sands. I have a sweet tooth so how can I miss those macaroons and cakes from SweetSpot, right ~ In my previous post on Sweetspot, I mentioned that I did not get to taste the Rum & Raisin Cheesecake as they left only the whole cake for sale. I'm glad that I managed to taste it this time
Mooncake Festival is coming soon and here's what SweetSpot offers. I tasted the samples. Not too bad but I still love my Snowskin Durian and Jackfruit Mooncakes; and Flaky Yam Mooncakes.
Lacking of Zzz and needs a cup of coffee to wake me up -_- I've also ordered a apple bun, a big piece of white chocolate and macadamia nuts soft cookie, rum & raisin cheesecake and not forgetting my macaroons ^.~
Ordered a box of 6 macaroons ~ apparently the price gone up to S$2.50 per piece : (
Yum Yum!

My Friday was a busy day but happy too EL and I attended a late night live concert by Tay Kewei at the Esplanade Recital Studio. It was a 1st ticketed concert for Kewei and also in celebration of the launch of her 1st album titled "Come Closer with Kewei". The concert was superb ~ she has a good vocal and a great team of musicians ^.~ Kewei performed few covers and her original works from her debut album. Her debut album was available for sale so I bought it (to show my support of local talents^-^) The concert lasted for an hour. I wish it would extend longer Anyway, I was lucky to purchase the tickets early as it was a sold-out concert.
Love the simple setting of the concert. It was actually my 1st time attending a late concert at 930pm and also 1st time stepping into the recital studio :) It was great!
Here's the MV ~ "Please be Careful with My Heart" by Kewei & Christian Bautista. Enjoy it
EL and I were very hungry after the concert as we skipped our dinner. It was late and many eateries were closed so we went to order and pack some food from the outdoor hawker stalls at the Esplanade. Thereafter, we hurriedly halt a taxi to Marina Bay Sands ("MBS") and checked-in to our hotel room. Thanks to EL for the complimentary stay @MBS.
Here are some photos which I took to share in this post:
A welcome note with EL's name on it which I blank it off in the photo.
A spacious room with a balcony.
Clean interior
A nice executive work desk and the lighting design is nice too.
Views from our hotel room on the 16th storey ~ love the fluffy cotton clouds
Still under construction and when it's completed, the view will be awesome.
The Singapore Flyer and its view nearby
Took this shot when I'm in the lift going up to Sands SkyPark
See those pinky lights ~ they will flash in different colors
Yipee ~ Thanks to the good weather. Swimming in the infinity pool and view the beautiful skyline of Singapore
A great place to relax
The Singapore Youth Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies were held at The Float @Marina Bay

I have a sweet tooth. Besides my iPhone and iPod, I think I also cannot live without cakes, pies, tarts, macaroons or any dessert! Just simply tempting and delectable!
After a whole afternoon walking and taking photos @MBS, I needed a break and went to SweetSpot for tea and their desserts. I have previously read the blog reviews on SweetSpot and it was recommended to try their macaroons which cost S$2/- per piece. Well, without further writing on, I shall show you the photos ~ Drooling ^0^
Be prepared to stand and enjoy your cuppa tea/coffee and cakes as there are limited seats :(
Macaroons, cakes, pastries and breads display neatly.
Thumbs up for the macaroons and I would love to order more.
Lovely cake deco
Rum & Rasin Cheesecake ~ looks yummy!
Choice of cakes ~ each and every piece just looks mouth-watering.

This is what I have ordered ~ Macaroons, Mille Peuille and Dark Black Forest Cake.
