Celebrated Li Xiang’s birthday with a stay at [Marina Bay Sands](http://www.marinabaysands.com/) (MBS) on Friday. We book pretty early and chose the [Rise & Shine Package](http://www.marinabaysands.com/SpecialOffers/Special_Offers.aspx) which includes 1 night stay and breakfast at Rise Cafe for two. Paid S$389 (S$457.85 after tax).

It is pretty expensive but I say it is totally worth it! Considering we paid S$270 for our [6th anniversary stay at Scarlet Hotel](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2010/10/24/6th-anniversary/) which has nothing and the room is much smaller and lack any window view. I would say MBS is not too expensive.

We spend most of our time swimming and sunbathing at the Infinity Pool at the [Sky Park](http://www.marinabaysands.com/SandsSkypark/Sands_Sky_Park.aspx). The Infinity Pool at night looks gorgeous as well but unfortunately we only went up to take pictures as we are heading to another location for dinner. I guess we will be back at MBS again for the night view at the Infinity Pool!

Dinner was at [Nueva Cuba](http://www.nuevacuba.com.sg/) located at [Customs House](http://thefullertonheritage.com/venues/80-2). I was at Nueva last week for a The Open Room: “Your Blog Here” session with [Luca Penati](http://www.techprnibbles.com/contributing-writers/luca-penati/) organized by Ogilvy and was impressed with the quality of the food and drinks there. So I decided to recommend it to Li Xiang! While you are there, try the [Grilled Sirloin Steak](http://www.nuevacuba.com.sg/dinner.pdf)!
