Dine in an Art Deco Water Supply House
Whenever I look for restaurants to try especially for events, I prefer a unique place with a view. Staying in Singapore, what iconic view is there to see but of Marina Bay Sands. I booked for a reservation at Picotin - Waterboat House due to its amazing view of MBS. The building is in Art Deco style and is previously a fresh water supply house for ships coming to Singapore.
The restaurant has an unblocked view of MBS when seated at the right areas. We were first seated indoors at Level 2 even though I booked the Captain’s Deck at the rooftop, as the staff said it’s raining. But it shouldn’t be an issue since the Captain’s Deck is covered. After resolving the miscommunication, we were then transferred at the top. The captain’s deck is the perfect seat for private dining with almost 360-degree view of the MBS skyline. The food is friendly as we are all familiar with European cuisine and wouldn’t break your bank.
I recommend getting the Captain’s Deck or the rooftop tables especially during sunset. If you choose to dine indoors, you can always go to the outside deck to take photos with an unblocked Marina Bay Sands.

Art Deco Shanghai: The Peace Hotel
⛴ Getting There - take the river bus over from Pudong or head to Nanjing West station
🏨 Attractions - The hotel was the largest building in the city when build in the 1920s
🏯 Hotels - it is a hotel!
🥃 Food & Restaurants - they have some very retro old school restaurants largely unchanged since the 30s
🎁 Shopping - it’s just at the mount of Nanjing East Road, one of Shanghai’s biggest shopping streets
This is one of Shanghai’s most famous hotels and was previously called the #Cathay - it was all the stars of the 20s and 30s stayed. Head inside to check out the lobby and some for the Art Deco features, then hit the Jazz bar for the Peace Hotel’s live band (the band look as old as the hotel) for some old school tunes, unchanged since Shanghai’s golden era! 🎺 #shanghai #architecture #newyearadventure #artdeco #上海

Lovely evening at the Bund - Shanghai
If colours are treats to the eyes, then #bund in #shanghai is surely a feast. Personally, I prefer the rooftop/terrace bars located in the #artdeco buildings with a good view of #pudong skyline.
