Marriott16

Hotels are re-opening in phase 2, and if you're planning a quick getaway, it is the perfect time to pack your bags and enjoy a well-deserved staycation with your loved ones at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel. It is among the list of approved and certified SG clean by the local authorities, so you can enjoy your holidays with a peace of mind!

Located strategically in the heart of Orchard Road and just at the doorsteps of Orchard MRT station, you can enjoy unrivalled accessibility as well as convenient access to a myriad of shopping malls just a stone's throw away from the hotel.

Guests can also look forward to their attractive perks such as a 24-hour stay with check-in and check-out flexibility, F&B credit, complimentary breakfast, free parking, English High Tea with Champagne, and more.

Book a luxurious stay with one of their specially-curated Staycation packages such as the Iconic City Staycation from S$258++ per room, per night (which was valued at $570++). The package is inclusive of:

• One-night stay in the contemporary Deluxe Room
• Complimentary breakfast for up to two persons
• $25 F&B credit per night, per person
• Complimentary late check-out at 3pm
• One complimentary parking during your stay

We checked in to the contemporary Deluxe Room on the 18th floor. The room is spacious, complete with plush comfortable beds, sofa, dining area, tv and even an additional dressing counter in the bathroom.

The Iconic City Staycation allows guests to enjoy a late check-out of 3pm as well. This also gives us more to explore the many facilities. Guests can enjoy access to the outdoor swimming pool located on level 5, as well as the fitness centre located on level 4. However, advanced booking has to be made before gaining access to these facilities.

For the $50 worth of F&B credits received, guests can spend it at their 4 F&B outlets or In-room dining. We chose from their extensive in-room dining menu and ordered their Marriott Beef Burger ($30), and Tiramisu ($16) from the dessert selection.

A Complimentary Breakfast Buffet at Marriot Cafe is also included for the next morning from 6am to 11am. With the safety precautions in place, guests can only order ala-carte dishes on their rise & shine breakfast menu selection instead of queueing along buffet lines. Breakfast items prepared a la minute and served to your table upon order. Service is quick and efficient, so you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy a slow morning with a delicious breakfast spread.

Marriott17

Besides the Iconic City Staycation, other packages available include the Ultimate Family Getaway with 24-Hour Stay with Flexible Check-in/ Check-out (from S$300++ per room, per night), as well as the Blissful Escapes (from S$380++ per room, per night, Fridays to Sundays) to upgrade your staycation experience.

One Prawn Noodle @ Golden Mile Food Centre - A Prawn Noodle Stall By 2 Young Hawkers

OnePrawnNoodle13

Located at Golden Mile Food Centre is a rather new hawker stall - One Prawn Noodle. The stall is opened back in April 2019 by two young hawkers selling Prawn Noodle. Apparently, one of the partners, Gwyneth Ang, has experience working in the kitchen of Forlino and Burnt Ends.

3 Combination Prawn Noodle 4.2/5

I decided to order the 3 Combination Prawn Noodle Dry ($8) which comes with Pork Ribs, Pig Skin and Intestines. For $8, the amount of ingredients pretty justify for the money spent. In the bowl of noodle, there are egg, prawn, vegetable, shallots and pork lard too. The pork ribs are cooked to fork-tender, and there is nothing to pick about the others too.

For the soup, it is flavoursome and sweet. It is not very prawny type, it is inclined to a pork bone soup base. So I think it will be quite subjective to individual preference. The highlight for me is the chilli sauce that is very shiok. It is spicy and fragrant. It enlivens the whole experience.

OnePrawnNoodle11

Overall I find One Prawn Noodle serves a good bowl of prawn noodle. The chilli sauce is quite powerful with the noodle. If you opt for the soup version, it may be subjective. Not that it is not good, I do enjoy it, but it may not meet your expectation of a robust, rich prawny flavoured soup.
