The Two Main Attractions at Shangri-La Orange Grove Road
Buds By Shangri-La timing
Sessions start from 9am-6pm
*Feel free to pain whatever and wherever!*
*Cool ball shooting area*
A great area where kids of a certain age maybe dropped off so that the parents can have their private time. Good spread of activities and obstacles for the kids to roam free, express their musical and art talent as well as get some movement in. SGD18/child for only residents and guests if not part of the package.

Splash at Shangri-la
Sessions starts from 9am-6pm
A relatively small area with a 1.5m section that's definitely not for non-water safe kids. The great thing is that the place provides lockers, a small changing room as well as life vests for the kids. The place is a nice add-on and somewhat similar to the water park at the Singapore Zoo.

(Some of the restaurnats we managed to try)
The Line
Complementary Breakfast Timing
0630am-1115am
The Line breakfast pretty much covered the international array of cuisine.
Simple breakfast fair from each nation.
Enjoyable and delectable to kick start the day.

Lobby Lounge

We ordered:
Katong Laksa SGS22
Rendition is adapted from The Original Katong Laksa (Click here for Katong Laksa and Peranakan Houses in Katong.)
*Really well executed and with *sea hum* (cockles) its a pass. The fried crispies prawn paste side dish just Atas the dish up for me. Surprisingly very filling and hugely satisfactory.
Beef Rendang SGD28

Cooked by Rumah Makan Minang a specialist of Indonesian Minangkabau cuisine.
*Solid rendition. The condiments were spot on and true to the delivery of the dish. Though couldn't beat the pleasant surprise in Melbourne Chin Chin most likely due to the quality of beef products available in Australia.*
Fishsoup SGD28

Adaptation of Whampoa Keng Fish Head Stemboat
*Really good soup stock and the layers of flavors did not let the original down at all.*
Total Fed 4 SGD97
Price point aside, its really amazing to see how to *ATAS (sophisticated or elegant) it up. The last place from memory to be able to do that was at the now defunct, CreatureS, then top 100 new restaurant in Singapore.

Waterfall Ristorante Italiano
*Great Italian fair and I can understand why the dining slots tend to be booked out quite quickly*

The play-cation package to me was a pretty good deal. After taking into consideration the complementary breakfasts at The Line, 'free' entry into both attractions as well as the SGD100 dining credits per night, it works out almost similar to cost of booking the room alone.
Shangri-la is a little dated, but the room size and service were impeccable. By way of pools, it wasn't very interesting but the heated Jacuzzi was a huge welcome.

Overall a great experience and one for the memory books. The only frustration but understandably so due to Covid, were the constant need to book for slots for dining, or activities to be done for the hotel to monitor capacity. Thankfully guest services were very obliging and assisted it to the best of their ability and in most cases, walk ins were not an issue.
