Say what? Kam Leng..? 

Yesss! Kam Leng's this really cool recently restored boutique hotel at Jalan Besar road right opposite Lavender Foodcourt.

True to its roots, you find nostalgia in every nook and corner. 

Sakura Teng's Her World magazine cover! My mum loves her lol

I think its from the 60s or 70s? 

Really nice mod looks with heavy eyelashes and huge beehive hairdos!

I wanna take this vase back! 

Look at the bottom .. its filled with Nespresso capsules!

Wall decorations 

Kam Leng hotel room rates 

The corridor has been left pretty much untouched and kept to its original flooring 

I've seen this staircase around! 

You can find it in older buildings or even shophouses in Singapore now, but more in Malaysia so this is pretty rare to be so well-maintained!

How about a picture with the bicycle haha

Enough exploring the hotel.. lets start the event proper! 

Huge U backdrop for the Nespresso U machine launch!

Here's a picture with Nespresso SG Country Manager - the lovely Irene Latoa along with my fellow blogger friends (L-R) Tiphanie and Verlyn while waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive and settle down for dinner :)

Walking into the Nespresso wonderland

Everything was done with decorative capsules from Nespresso!

The Western table setting for our dinner that evening

Too pretty!

Irene giving a welcome speech before we start the dinner

The newly launched Nespresso U is a highly innovation coffee machine that is easy on the pocket (Retail : S$288) and is adapted to suit your fast-paced lifestyle. 

I'll show you more later :)

Simple, intuitive and functional - the Nespresso U preserves the DNA of Nespresso, offering you at home the best coffee experience. It goes further too, by remembering the length of your favourite coffee, and adapting to your home in a complete compact and functional design. With U, Nespresso brings not only the pleasure of coffee at home, but to also customize through the elegance of simplicity along with an exquisite attention to details machine that you can easily use at home or in the office.

Our bread was presented in such an innovative manner!

Soup!

Irene was such a sport when I asked her to pose for me! 

My main course which I had chosen earlier was Seared Fish with Asparagus and a sweet potato puree. It was delicious! I like it very much.

Looking at the Nespresso media release video

After which ... Dessert was served!

Not literally dessert, dessert.. but we all either get a hotel room key or a card to partner with someone who has it! What a surprise!

I get to pair up with Isaac and Kelvin from Superadrianme :)

Walking along the lobby of Kam Leng Hotel which was magically converted to a Nespresso floor!

Cute decals on the walls

To show the flexibility and adaptability of the new U machine, : Nespresso has kindly invited guest 'designers', who are professionals from their respective fields - to design a hotel room with different themes!

Like this is Gardens by the Bed!

Whimsical but with a touch of green

Our desserts on the bed!

Each room has something in common .. can u guess what?

Yes! A Nespresso U machine!

Enjoying my dessert with a cuppa of coffee

There were 7 rooms in total so let me bring u along for the ride

Small romantic dining area : perfect for two.

Some I already know, some new friends :)

Trying out the new Limited Edition Crealto coffee at home!

Nespresso once more demonstrates its never-­ending quest to surprise and delight consumers with new coffee experiences as it reveals its latest Limited Edition for Autumn 2012, Crealto. 

Nespresso Green Coffee Specialist Alexis Rodriquez was inspired by Michelin-­starred chef Mauro Colagreco’s application of long-­roasting techniques at low temperatures. Uniting the creative strengths of both areas of expertise, Crealto reveals roasted notes that are surprisingly round and a lingering finish, achieved by a long roasting method by Nespresso.

I really like the Crealto! 

It's best served as an espresso but I drink mine with a drop of milk and its great too!

With an intensity of 8 -­ on a scale of 1-10 -­ and blended entirely from washed Arabicas, the unique character of Crealto allows its rich aroma to be fully appreciated. Whether savoured alone or with milk, its long roasting time cooks all the notes harmoniously, allowing it to develop round-roasted notes that are long lasting.

But of coz ... I love my Nespresso all becoz of George. :p

George Clooney that is.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope u are enjoying the weekend! 

God bless!
