After our arrival in Singapore, we quickly went to voucher counter to grab our $40 shopping at Changi voucher. However, we decided not to do any shopping today, because we'll have longer layover during our trip back to Sydney.
We hastily made our way to the grand Silverkris lounge in terminal 3. Going up that escalator and looking at the Silverkris sign on your left is a satisfaction itself. I instantly know that this is a huge lounge as the atmosphere is quiet grand.
We were greeted straight away with 4 of the staff. After confirming our boarding pass, one of the lady asked us: "Is this your first time to The Private Lounge?"
"Yes!" we answered.
She then said, "Great! Let me give you a tour".
She toured us across the vast business class lounge. The lounge was quiet busy that day, similar to a Sydney domestic lounge during morning rush hour. During our walk, the lady who escorted us keep convincing us on how exclusive TPR is: on how only SQ first class can access it, not even the star alliances member.
We turn left on the first branch towards first class lounge, then at the end of business class tunnel, we turn left and found ourselves in the first class lounge. We turn left and went through the lounge. While there, I found that the first class lounge is less busy then the business class counterparts. I had a look at the buffet bar too, some quiet nice food there!
At the end of the lounge, we turned left and finally we see the signage of "The Private Room"
We were introduced straight away to the dining area. Without asking whether we want to eat or not, the lady set us down in dining area and one of the butler there showed us the menu.
Obviously we can't resist the menu they had there. They all sound nice! We ordered the wagyu burger, dim sum and singapore satay.
Wagyu burger is soooo nice. The buns were crunchy and the meat was tender (I asked for medium rare). Quail egg were cooked perfectly and you can see runny yolk. I'm not sure what they put on the top bun aside from the tomato relish, but that thing made the whole burger complete. We ends up ordered another wagyu burger, and the taste is very consistent!
Next we tried the dim sum. I found the dim sum quiet average. You can find better one in Sydney's major dim sum restaurant.
Last is the Singapore Satay (I wish I can post more than 5 pictures, neither I want to break this section into 2 post - I believe you all have seen the satay anyway, so here goes). We were served lamb and chicken satay with their sauce. The sauce is as consistent as always, taste very similar to Sydney's one. Again, we enjoyed the satay. I found the chicken satay is better here than the Sydney's lounge.
After savouring ourselves with all these meals, we took some mouth refreshment and fresh juice at the buffet bar.
We found ourselves some seat in the main lounge and we took shower to refresh ourselves for the next journey.
Although we layed over 5 hours, we felt that the time passed real quick as we enjoyed TPR, so we haven't got chance to jump to other Silverkris lounge in other terminal.
We went to the gate for boarding. Our gate for the night is A11 and is quiet a walk from TPR. The boarding has commenced as we arrived at the gate.
A bit of dissapointment when I see the registration of our plane.. it was.. 9V-SWT...
