Woah, MBS is so 'atas', that I totally felt out of place.
So, I dressed up nice and tried to look a little bit more classy.
LOL.
It worked.
The room was fantastic! (At least it is to a very average person like me.)
There is a dining table!
I did not get to capture the pool or the view at night cos' we brought mom to a very nice dinner at Hai Tien Lo. By the time we were back, it was past 11pm (and Skypark was closed). So all my photos were about the Skypark in the day, which was aw...ful.
I heard the view at night is stunning... for the first 15 mins.
Not a big space for you to move around at the viewing area anyway.
Personally, I felt HK's The Peak and Hokkaido's Mt Hakodate were more beautiful.

Mom loved the place. The food was delicious. Service was good.
When me and my sis did not want to have the Buddha jumps over the wall in the set dinner menu, we asked the waitress to suggest some other kinds of soup.
The waitress did a good job by introducing a simple chicken and white fungus herbal soup to me, and spicy and sour sze chuan soup to my sis. She even asked me if a not-so-thick soup was ok for me.
When the soups came, I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken and white fungus herbal soup tasted like home cooked (with motherly love!) soup with a tinge of fragrant bitterness (I suspect some kind of chinese wine added).
The white fungus was the best.
It was crunchy and bite size and piping hot. The spicy and sour soup that my sis had was a thick soup base. I had a sip but I didn't really find it any more interesting. Maybe cos' the chicken soup blew me away.
A pity, some of our friends played us out. In the end, my sis worked with her laptop, alone in the room (with mom snoring away) and I ended up drinking at the lobby lounge with some (boring) friends because the skypark is only open until 11pm.
And Ku De Ta charges $68++ per head for entry + a drink.
Insane.
Saw some fans waiting for what 2AM or 2PM korean boy artiste groups at the lobby of MBS hotel. The fans sat at the lobby until the next morning. All of them teenagers.
Oh. And the lounge with live band is really just for drinking. No food menu. No food allowed.
So, we had to move to the other side of the lobby area to have atas munchies.
But I must admit, the munchies were worth the $$$$$.
The cheese sticks were fantastic!
Breakfast was good - a pity it is not included in the room stay.
At 38++ per head, the variety was commendable and quality was more than above average.
But service needs to be improved.
The service staff had inconsistent attitudes. Some were very friendly and polite. Some gave a face like they were millionaires forced to work as waiters/waitresses cos' their fortune fell overnight.
One of them did not know what "Can I pay by Diners?'" meant. She was not a local.
"Sorry, I am not sure what you are saying."
"I mean, can I pay using my Diners' credit card?"
"Sorry, m'am. I am not sure what is it."
Hell. If you are not sure, pls get your supervisor or ask your colleagues, ya?
"Never mind."
So my sis paid by Visa. There goes my points.
