Pan Pacific Singapore x Nespresso 40th Anniversary: Coffee-Inspired Dining & Stay Experiences

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

Earlier this year, I shared about Pan Pacific Singapore's 40th anniversary celebrations, and the hotel has just unveiled another exciting collaboration that's perfect for coffee lovers.

To commemorate four decades of hospitality excellence, Pan Pacific Singapore has partnered with Nespresso for a limited-time collection of dining, cocktail, wellness, and stay experiences running from 6 July to 22 November 2026. Rather than simply adding coffee as another ingredient, each experience explores how different flavours, aromas and textures can be transformed into something unexpectedly elegant.

Whether you're planning a buffet feast, a romantic dinner, cocktails with friends or even a weekend staycation, there's something designed around this anniversary collaboration.


Edge Serves Up a Coffee Dessert Worth Saving Room For

If you've dined at Edge before, you'll know the dessert station is already one of the highlights. For this anniversary collaboration, Executive Pastry Chef Edina Si has introduced an exclusive Salted Coffee Caramel Tart.

Made using Nespresso Professional's Congo Organic blend, the tart combines buttery caramel with subtle roasted coffee notes, balanced by a touch of sea salt. The coffee's naturally toasted cereal and berry flavours add another layer of complexity, creating a dessert that's rich without feeling overly sweet.

The tart is available during both lunch and dinner buffet service, making it an easy excuse to leave a little extra room after the seafood and international spread.

For reservations, please call +65 6826 8240 or email dining.ppsin@panpacific.com.


Hai Tien Lo Gives Coffee a Cantonese Twist

One dish that's gripping my attention has got to be the Coffee-glazed Pork Rib at Hai Tien Lo, priced at S$40 nett.

Instead of overpowering the meat, the Nespresso Congo Organic blend is transformed into a glossy glaze that adds roasted depth and aroma. The sweetness of apple jam, tomato sauce and fragrant Shaoxing wine rounds everything out beautifully, creating a balanced sweet-and-savoury profile that sounds both comforting and refined. I bet this dish will be a hot favourite on the table, for families of all ages.

For reservations, please call +65 6826 8240 or email dining.ppsin@panpacific.com.



PLUME's Coffee Omakase Is Probably the Most Creative Experience

If you're looking for something a little different, PLUME has created what is probably the most immersive offering of the collaboration - a S$40++ Coffee Omakase Experience.

Rather than serving a single coffee cocktail, the experience unfolds across several courses:

  • Peaberry Theory welcomes guests with a cocktail combining coffee, dark rum, cherry brandy and bitters.
  • A playful coffee-infused jello shot pairs roasted coffee notes with limoncello gin and grapefruit zest.
  • A clarified whisky and coffee tasting is elevated further with burning coffee incense infused with cinnamon and nutmeg, creating an aromatic experience that engages both taste and smell.
  • The journey finishes with a house-made mocha biscotti.

I really like this idea as it showcases just how versatile a single coffee blend can be interpreted into so many different varieties by skilled bartenders.

For reservations, please call +65 9459 7165 or email plume.ppsin@panpacific.com.



A Staycation Designed for Coffee Lovers

The collaboration extends beyond dining with an exclusive stay package available for Nespresso Club Members, where guests can enjoy:

  • 10% off the Best Available Rate on selected room categories
  • Daily breakfast for two at Edge
  • Nespresso-infused pralines as a welcome gift
  • Access to selected room upgrades depending on the package booked

The first 40 bookings will also receive an exclusive Nespresso × Caran d'Ache pencil set, a collaboration between the two Swiss brands that gives used coffee grounds a second life. The pencil leads are partially made using recycled coffee grounds, making it a thoughtful keepsake that reflects Nespresso's sustainability efforts.

As someone who enjoys collecting limited-edition collaborations, this is honestly one of those little bonuses that makes the package even more memorable!



Relax with a Special Anniversary Spa Promotion

For anyone planning a slower weekend escape, St. Gregory Spa is also joining the celebrations.

Guests can enjoy a 40-minute express massage for S$100 nett, offering a quick reset after a busy work week or a long day exploring the city. It's a nice addition that complements the staycation experience beyond just food and accommodation.


Earn More with Pan Pacific DISCOVERY

If you visit Pan Pacific Singapore regularly, it may be worth signing up for the Pan Pacific DISCOVERY loyalty programme.

Members can enjoy benefits including:

  • Up to 7% back in DISCOVERY Dollars (D$)
  • Room upgrades (subject to availability)
  • Late check-out
  • Birthday privileges

These perks apply across stays, dining and spa experiences, making the programme particularly useful if you're already planning multiple visits throughout the year.

I like that this collaboration goes beyond simply creating another coffee-themed menu. Instead, Pan Pacific Singapore has woven coffee into multiple experiences across the hotel - from desserts and Cantonese cuisine to cocktails, wellness and even exclusive collectibles.

It's been fun seeing how each collaboration brings a different perspective while staying true to the 40th anniversary celebration theme. Whether you're a serious coffee enthusiast or simply looking for a unique dining experience in Marina Bay, this limited-time partnership with Nespresso is certainly worth checking out before it ends on 22 November 2026.

Promotion Period: 6 July – 22 November 2026

Looking For A Qool Weekend Escapade?

| |
Hi Huneybees,


It's that time of the year again, where friends and loved ones gather for a break from all the hard work and studies. If you are looking for just a staycation closer to home, why not check in yourselves into The Quincy Hotel?


With their newly revamped Qool Weekend Package, you are definitely in for a treat and get to let your hair down, spending quality time with your loved ones. We were treated to an interesting fashion show by the wonderful hospitality crew when they launched the package, to show us how much fun you can have at the hotel, be it for any occasion, at any time.


Available only on weekends for the hotel’s  Studio Deluxe rooms, the Qool Weekend package comes with a new array of delightful additions that goes beyond making a staycation memorable and exciting; making every effort to let the Qool Weekend experience be cool enough for guests who want to share on social media too.

I'm already sold at hello and hubby is planning for a weekend package there.
If you were to ask us what drew our attention to The Quincy Hotel? Here are why...


Studio Deluxe Rooms enhancement

My favourite has got to be the super adorable emoji cushions addition that not only brightens the room, but also adds another selfie excuse while chilling in the room.

Another is the Doodling Whiteboard where you can draw or doodle creative backgrounds for your Insta-pic or simply leave a sweet Thank-You for the lovely hotel staff.

Then for a touch of comfort, the Flossflakes Comfort-U Pillow on the bed cradles your entire body as you sleep, supporting every part of your body, letting you relax and go into your dreamlands.


For the connoiseurs, there is the Premium Tea Selection as well as the Nespresso Coffee Machine for those that need a morning pick-me-up or I-just-feel-like-caffeine moments. Pair that with the snacks from the Enhanced Complimentary In-room Minibar Selection (replenished daily) to satisfy your peckish cravings.


Art Jamming Sessions

If the doodling boards in the room are not enough, the package also includes Quincy Hotel's popular Couple's Art Jamming Sessions.

From 3pm to 4pm on Saturdays, with the guidance of an art teacher, up to six participants with no prior art background will be transformed into accomplished painters in under an hour!

Even if you were clueless that day, with the art teacher's accompaniment, you will be proud to bring home an artwork  you never thought you are capable of painting.



Collaboration with Kevin.Murphy

The Quincy Hotel is the first hotel in Asia to collaborate with Kevin.Murphy, one of Australia’s leading haircare brand that produces trendy and innovative products that are kind to the environment as well as being kind to the hair, Kevin Murphy is recognised amongst his peers as a visionary in the creation of modern, hairdressing products and tools.

Now, all guests can luxuriate in the innovation of Kevin.Murphy’s Young.Again series in their rooms. The Young.Again series features an explosion of scents from the most alluring flowers. This addictive fragrance blends top notes of crisp lemon with juicy orange and slivered coconut. A bouquet of petitgrain, orange flower, geranium, rose petals and jasmine blooms is enriched by sensual musk, creamy vanilla and rich red cedar.

Guests can also find other Kevin.Murphy Young.Again hotel collection such as gentle cleanser, hydrating body moisturiser and energising body bar soap in their rooms. They can soothe away the stress of travelling and help guests rejuvenate from head to toe daily during their stay at The Quincy Hotel.


Encouraging all guests to Be Me, Be Free and Be Delighted has been The Quincy Hotel’s way of making their guests feel right at home - even if it’s just a weekend staycation. Nothing expresses these brand pillars more creatively than the revamped Qool Weekend package. So, get your traveling bags ready for a weekend escapade!

The Qool Weekend package starts from $288++ (prices are subject to 10% service charge and 7% GST).

Features of the revamped Qool Weekend package:
• One-night stay in Studio Deluxe room

• All-day light refreshments

Whole New Nespresso Experience @ Takashimaya

| |
Hi Huneybees,



Yesterday, Nespresso opened their doors of their newly revamped boutique at Takashimaya Department Store (Household Department, Level B1) right at the heart of  Orchard Road. 


Expanding from 43 square meters to 71 square meters, the new Nespresso boutique features a brand new carpe diem, or coffee tasting bar in Nespresso speak, where customers can enjoy a cup of high quality coffee. Customers will continue to be greeted with personalised service from the Nespresso coffee specialists, who will guide them through the range of coffee machines and Grand Crus that Nespresso offers.


In line with Nespresso’s commitment towards the environment, the new boutique will also accept used coffee capsules from customers for recycling. This will be an additional recycling point to the current one at ION Orchard boutique.

Let's take a tour around the boutique. Shall we?





In conjunction with the reopening of the Takashimaya boutique, Nespresso also launched specially created iced coffee recipes that suits Singapore's climate - Iced Caramel Cafe, Cafe Banana Split, Iced Cappuccino, Iced Coconut Coffee and Tiramisu Coffee to refresh and delight coffee lovers out there!


The secret behind each iced coffee recipe is the delectable range of Nespresso Grand Crus coffee, which makes the perfect base for these sumptuous iced coffee creations. The recipes have been hand crafted by the chief coffee specialists at Nespresso and devised specifically to appeal to the preferences of the Asia Pacific region. Knowing the region’s preference for white coffee, most of the recipes incorporate chilled milk, which is especially popular throughout Asia.



I got to taste 2 of the creations and the first one is Iced Coconut Coffee, where a scoop of coconut ice cream is added to a cup of Arpeggio Grand Crus, with brown sugar, milk, cinnamon powder and desiccated coconut to complete the chilled drink.


Next was the Tiramisu Coffee - a scoop of chocolate ice cream, a capsule Indriya from India Grand Crus, crushed biscuits, milk and grated chocolate, was all I need to perk me up in the hot weather. 

Cappuccino à la rose is my favourite hot coffee recipe and Tiramisu Coffee is definitely my favourite

iced coffee Recipe! 



The Nespresso gourmet iced coffee recipes are available for sampling at all Nespresso boutiques during the month of August. The recipes will also be posted on the official Nespresso Ultimate Coffee Creations website (www.nespresso.com/ultimate-coffee-creations) so anyone can create their own iced coffee by following the simple instructions.





Nespresso also has an Ultimate Coffee Creations website which has tons of coffee recipes. You can check it out here: http://www.nespresso.com/ultimate-coffee-creations/SG/en/coffee-recipes.

The Nespresso Aeroccino 3.
Nespresso is also running a National Day Special – From 1-11 August, receive a complimentary Aeroccino 3 with purchase of Citiz Single coffee machine (Fire Engine Red retailing at SGD$388) and any 9 sleeves of Grand Crus coffee. 
Enjoy ~

Welcome to SAVOUR 2013!

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Remember my post on the media preview of SAVOUR 2013? It's finally happening and it was a pleasure to be invited by the presenting partner - NESPRESSO to tour SAVOUR 2013 as well as to witness the launch of their latest limited edition coffee.


Let me bring you over to the NESPRESSO booth for the launch of the coffees first...


Arriving at the booth, I was already captivated by the 2 Vespas parked right outside. It already gives you an idea of what gave the inspiration to the making of the 2 limited editions. 

With bloggers, Malcolm, Elrica and her hubby,
Jack and Rai and Jack's wife.
When I entered the booth, I met alot of friends there and we had a hell of time photo taking and it was great to share stories whilst sipping aromatic NESPRESSO coffees.



Henry Golding was the host for the night and after a brief introduction by Irene Latoa (Country Manager of Nespresso Singapore), we were surprised by 2 of the Vespas, ridden down the red carpet and there was our stars for the night in the hands of the models!



Introducing the NESPRESSO Spring Limited Edition Grand Cru duo - Trieste and Napoli.


Paying homage to the strong coffee heritage of Italy Trieste and Napoli celebrates the two Italian cities that are delightfully distinct in character yet equal in their passion for coffee.


Trieste
The Trieste Limited Edition reflects the rich and varied cultural experience to be found in Trieste. The multifaceted northeastern Italian port city reflects a mix of German, Italian and Slavic cultures. All green coffee bound for the coffee houses of Vienna came through Trieste, as the gateway to the Austro-Hungarian empire.

The coffee is delightful both with and without milk. With an intensity level of 9, Trieste is a subtle blend of 100% Arabica beans from Brazil and eastern Africa offering notes of chocolate and fresh hazelnuts, a round texture and a fruity touch. While it is best enjoyed as a ristretto (25 ml), Limited Edition Trieste reveals intense, roasted coffee notes with a hint of brown caramel and nuts when served as a cappuccino.


Napoli
Coffee also holds a special place in vibrant Naples, located in the south of Italy. Here, the first domestic appliance to prepare coffee was invented: the “caffettiera napoletana”. This brought coffee consumption into the home, transforming it from an aristocratic drink enjoyed in cafés to a domestic pleasure.

The Nespresso interpretation of the concentrated “black gold” of Naples is Napoli: a blend of Arabica beans from South America, Africa and Asia, with a hint of Robusta. Bold and assertive with a syrupy body, it has refined, smoky notes reminiscent of dried black tea leaves. With an intensity level of 11, the Napoli Limited Edition is best enjoyed as a ristretto (25 ml). For an even more authentic tasting experience, it can be served as an even shorter cup (15-20 ml) and sweetened with sugar.



The coffees are available for sale at Savour 2013 and it was a pleasure to have Mark making us the coffee that night. Do drop by the Nespresso booth to experience the aromatic coffees. I bet you would not leave without buying some.


I even got to take a picture with the Michelin Star Chef - Mauro Colagreco from MIRAZUR. He was the one behind NESPRESSO Crealto Grand Cru.
Now, onto the "restaurants". There's so many choices to choose from and all I can say is prepare your Savour Dollars as you will be eating non-stop! And a note for you: Do be early and be patient as there might be long queues.


Top notch restaurant dishes at only a fraction of the price for you to try!
Other than good food and drinks, there's also opportunity for you to meet the chefs for some photos or probably they might share their little cooking tips with you?


We met Chef Moon again and seriously, his Truffle Kampachi is something you wana eat and eat again. I had it at the media preview and I can't forget it since then.


Margot Janse is the ONLY female chef at Savour 2013 and you can find her dishes at THE TASTING ROOM AT LE QUARTER FRANCAIS. Malcolm and I loved her Seared Scallop (Aerated Scallop and Dill Vichysoisse, Barley and Squid Ink Crumble) that we had to have one each.


The other dish that we loved was also the Stellar Grill (Beef). It's so tender, it melts in your mouth and bursting with juice! Eat it with sips of Moscato and that's what I call heaven!


Do visit the Gourmet Market too! You can shop for top quality ingredients and produce sourced from around the world. Connect with an entire ecosystem of quality brands, food and wine producers and FREE sampling sessions. There’s over 300 different activities that are available for you to attend for that complete sensory experience.

The SAVOUR Premier Pass is priced at $55 (Lunch Session) and $65 (Dinner Session), inclusive of SAVOUR Dollars to buy food and drinks at the Gourmet Village, and produce at the Gourmet Market. Extended opening hours at the Gourmet Village and Gourmet Market means a combined total of 7 more fun-filled hours to spend at SAVOUR 2013. It’s definitely fulfilling!
To purchase tickets to SAVOUR 2013, you can click here.
Tomorrow is the last day, so be sure to be there for the tasty 5 five star dishes!
