Woah, impressive pano !
What is the gigantic hole just right of McDonalds House ?
It shouldn't be a MRT station here, right ? Or is it the depot for Circle Line or something like that ?

Thanks...I think it will be the construction site for a short apartment at Handy Road. You can also see the Cathay building site further right ^^

you can also see the construction sites of Imperial & Visoncrest near the bottom left.

How come moulmy so small one? I have always thought it's taller than Novena Square!

Can I faint now? :eek2:

Can I faint now? :eek2:

why faint???

Moulmein Rise looks tall cos its slim and its the tallest in its area, but Novena Square is an office building so I guess it has higher floor plates. I have a zoom-in of the Moulmein Rise area, will post when i upload it :yes:

Less of the skyscrapers... More of the sea... Plus your favourite OUB building! :)

WOAH! Both of you went to the restaurant or what? :eek:

OMG! GREAT VIEWS!!! How was the food?

@HW
I was at the restaurant during lunch yesterday.

@Cliff
Food was okay. Believe the sichuan dishes would taste much better than the dim sum they were serving.

Wow....I only been there once, and it was at night, so I cant see much of the view. Eat only a bit also..hehe.

I last went there, say 8 years ago... :cry:

Hmmm... CNY coming... can ask mummy and daddy bring you there for lohei ;)

See the restaurant link above?

Whoa. Great pics!

About $25 per pax. UOB Credit Card Member has 10% discount.

Or just pretend as restaurant patron? :D

10% only meh? I just checked...my Debit card gives me 20% off! :D

Wow great views!
Got to remember that restaurant there for a lunch when I will visit Singapore next year.
BTW in which towers there are restaurants or viewing floors/skydecks etc... Thanks! :)

10% only meh? I just checked...my Debit card gives me 20% off! :D

Which debit card?? DBS??

Maybe me too! You're coming to KL, too?

@All

Yes... 20% for ala-carte orders on UOB Credit/Debit Cards. Typo. :D But, there's service charge, so equivalent to only 10%... :P

Alternatively, if you are a big eater and with a big group of at least 4, can try their sichuan & cantonese ala-carte buffet at about $36 per pax with taxes & charges included and no further discounts.

i highly recommend this for people wanting views, it can be argued that the view is as good or better than the one at UOB Plaza as you get to see the postcard-Singapore skyline.

Whoa! :cool:

I went up Fort Canning today. Can't enter the empty green area on top of the hill... it's fenced up :(

:eek2:
I wonder what if we could merge all those photos together...

So sad... I did 3 panos for this side... only this one was not corrupted... maybe, try again next time I go there... :colgate:

Does anyone know which is the tallest restaurant in Singapore?
Sichuan Dou Hua at UOB or The Tower Club Penthouse at Republic?

I have a feeling its the one at Republic, cos the club although starts at a lower level compared to UOB, but is 3 or 4 stories high, with the penthouse level on the 64th floor.

Sorry, now I'm sure that the Tower Club is higher. From Hyacin's pic, you can see that the Entire club is above the horizon.(club starts where the glass slopes)

Haha....so you;re basically answering your own question?? :D

I have a feeling that this HIGH restuarant have HIGH prices also......:lol:

Sweet views! :D

Sky Tower looks impossible... :eek:

but yeah good idea :P

@Cliff
The one at Republic Plaza isnt open to public is it? But I thinks its higher than UOB's restaurant. heirloom should try to get a pic :P

The TP pic looks so uch like HK, except for Hub sticking out... ;eek:

glass always stands out in a sea of concrete :yes:

directions to get up to the restaurant:

http://img161.exs.cx/img161/1073/sichuan9oe.jpg

No direct lift... :(

want to try Tower Club at CDL? :D

http://www.tower-club.com.sg

No direct lift... :(


thats actually part of tall building design. Having all lifts direct take up more floor space so its more efficient to stagger them. Same with Capital Tower and in Republic Plaza, each lift serves 2 floors :)

Hmmm... Forgot if I have posted these pics... nvm

i feel like going back up again to survey the landscape :D

I can't see Istana... :?

so fast ah? :D

can lah..its white in colour, a little below that yellow condominium, look carefully, its not as elusive from the UOB :yes:

hmm..maybe i'll visit Swissotel next :D

The interior of the restaurant

http://img105.exs.cx/img105/7998/uobrest3hs.jpg

You can see Paya Lebar AB???!!! :eek:

yes..its that huge strip of land with nothing built on it

Its easily visible mah, since the east is so flat. On a clear day, you can even see Changi Airport control tower (especially from Swissotel)

^
Is that the Sichuan Douhua restaurant above UOB?? I wonder how expensive is the food??

^

yup..erm the food isnt that expensive..i guess it depends on what is ordered. About $35 per person is possible. Although I think there is a bar there where you can have just drinks. They serve dimsum as well as Sichuan cuisine. Will post some food pics :D
