Melt - The World Cafe (Mandarin Oriental)

28 November 2014 - Post 5th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

We spent our 5th Wedding Anniversary in Phuket, with the 2 boys. Achieving our 1st successful steamboat dinner on our own with the 2 boys.

Now that we are back, we decided to treat ourselves to a lunch sumptuous lunch after all marriage is hard work too. 5 years of being a marriage and total of 7 years together, from 2 to 4 in the family, there are bad and good times. We thank God for joining us together even when arguments got out of hands.

Back to our sumptuous lunch, we found ourselves enjoying tremendously at Melt - the World Cafe at Mandarin Oriental. Although there was no oysters, the spread was good enough to make Melt top of my list, surpassing The Line (Shangri-La).
