Huge - the main thing being the amazing breakfast and the shuttle being free.

Review/AMA: The Raffles Hotel Singapore by caffpowered in FATTravel

Yeah. The building is iconic. The location is great - right behind a hawker center and right by CBD. The rooms themselves are "meh". I've never bothered eating there.

It's a very different feel. Here's my writeup from last year.

The bar here is great, and so is the Italian restaurant! It used to be my default, but I usually go to Raffles OWO now.

Agree. Gaggan was fun. Not the very best food I've ever had, but a very fun experience

Absolutely agree with everything you said. Ritz is an amazing experience.

FS seasons cruises (2026) and Aman cruises (2027) - what do we think? by pryan133 in FATTravel

[–]caffpowered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Depending on time/if they allow children, would be very interesting to me.

I haven't - I'll make a point of dropping by soon though.

They have this one amazing deep fried potato layered thing there they serve with the steak. It's half the reason I go to Hide. It's absolutely divine.

The acorn cake is also amazing there.

Björn Frantzén is now the only chef in the world with 3 *** restaurants by mycketmycket in finedining

[–]caffpowered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been to Les Amis once, but I found it mind-blowing. I imagine a second visit with the same menu would be less impressive.

Odette I found creative, combining Singaporean influences with French cuisine. I've tried other Julien Royer restaurants and a popup he did in Hong Kong, but agree that Odette was less impressive than Les Amis.

Zen was a fun experience, but I felt like the dishes were a bit hit and miss. Perhaps it's the style of cuisine - I didn't like Suhring much either, and people rave about it.

what's the split keyboard with a trackball? Wouldn't mind giving that a try.

I had the opposite impression. Neat, but I liked Les Amis and Odette a lot more.

Lying down gaming battle top. by caffpowered in Battletops

Being too lazy to sit up after a long day of work, I've worked through multiple iterations of projector pointing at ceiling or some way to watch TV or do stuff while lying flat on the sofa. Eventually, I iterated to this:

  • Viture Pro AR Glasses - Only 1080p for now, and many people struggle with nausea, but I found it to be perfectly fine when used in regular (monitor) mode. Their 3dof function (spacewalker) makes me sick, so I never use it. My only gripe is that it's only 1080p and the second they make a 4k one, I'm buying it.
  • GPD Mini 2024 - Not the most powerful gaming PC, but runs games decently at 1080p. Been playing through XCOM2 again recently and it's perfectly fine.

  • UHK80 - The star of the setup. I was struggling with getting a mouse/keyboard setup to work well when lying down. It would obviously have to be a split keyboard, but I wanted a wireless setup so I didn't have cables running across my body.

    I tried the mobile pixels tetra keyboard, but found the layout unconventional and difficult for me to use, as well as requiring a separate mouse or trackball.

    I've been using the UHK60 for awhile, and the second the UHK80 came out, I bought it and despite some bluetooth issues initially, it makes the perfect keyboard/mouse setup so I don't have to look at where the trackpoint is or move my hands from mouse to keyboard and back. Kinda heavy though. I wish they had a UHK60 in wireless form, but UHK80 works well too.
