That looks just like the room I had but it couldn't have been as we had 4pm checkout. I was in 1516 with daughter slumming it down the corridor in 1508 (non suite).
Bangkok again with Singapore and Batam.

So back to Singapore.That first was down to the IC club on the second floor. Large and never crowded. Occasionally though service was a little slow.Singapore is known for it's orchids.
The club.
First up I had a tomato soup which was excellent.
Then you have to order the nights fresh canapes. They were a sweet potato cake, chicken bau and fried chicken. you could order multiple times if you wished.
Then there was a buffet.
The hummus was excellent.
A moroccan vegetable wrap and jellied eel salad.
And sweets.

I took it easy the next day. Breakfast was good although egg Benedict was served with smoked salmon.
We did try to go for a walk in the early afternoon but as soon as we stepped outside a thunderstorm hit. So the first thing was to go back to the club that evening. we had talked to a couple from Melbourne late on the first night and shared a table with them tonight. Two very different backgrounds leading to some quite remarkably similiar in outcomes in life. By the end of the 4th night we were in a position to solve the world's problems.
Minestrone the soup for the night. good but not outstanding.
The hot canapes were sugar cane prawn which was very nice. Chicken slider which was a bit messy to eat and fried cheese.
My usual dish was a good dollop of hummus and some blue cheese.
The cold canapes.
And desserts.
The red wines. A Cab Sav and a Pinot noir.
I always started the night with a G&T then wine. The first night I had the Cab Sav and then I switched to the Pinot which I preferred.

Our second day at the IC and for some reason neither of us had any energy. But a nice slow breakfast. Mrsdrron had scrambled eggs and bacon and I added a poached egg and baked tomato to the Avocado toast.
Really nice. Our room was being serviced so we sat in the lobby and people watched. Thailand isn't the only place with lady boys.
After a while we went back to our room and I laid down on the bed and slept 4 hours. Must have needed it.
Back to the lounge. A short talk with our new friends and then They went to C'est La Vie for dinner. the next day they said it was fantastic with great views of the sunset. I tried to book but the day after they had closed for renovations and reopen near the end of June.
So the evening spread in the club.
Mushroom soup was nice. Though it never looks pretty.
And the hot canapes. Chicken sausage in a roll duck spring roll and a nice vegetable tart.
