"Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!"


“Champagne makes you feel like it’s Sunday and better days are just around the corner." (Marlene Dietrich)


Champagne brunches on a Sunday in Singapore are an institution with all the major hotels hosting at least one. Starting between 11am and 12pm, and going on for 3 to 4 hours they are more 'unch' than 'br'.



With a variety of buffet stations invariably including seafood, sushi, roast, omelette, cheese and pudding sections there is food for all pallets. Also included is free flow champagne, red and white wine and fruit juice along with speciality drinks depending on the venue such as champagne cocktails, bloody marys and martinis. Thankfully, there's a cool website that researches all the best places for us! http://www.singaporesundaybrunch.com/

My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne." (John Meynard Keynes)

Not wanting to have regrets in life, we've jumped into the brunches once a month. For us girls, it's a good chance to get together, talk, quaff champers, and stuff our faces with fine food! For the first brunch, we hit Senso...smaller then the big hotels but with an extra hour for the Proseco. Delicious!


This past Sunday, we upped the glam and hit the Ritz Carlton. FANCY! With over 50 cheeses to choose from, a seafood spread, and Moet and Chandon on FREE-FLOW, we were in heaven!
"Three be the things I shall never attain: envy, content and sufficient Champagne." (Dorothy Parker)
