<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I HAD checked into Marina Mandarin hotel for a weekend stay to de-stress and unwind from the weekly rat race.
I then made a reservation for breakfast for four at the Aquamarine restaurant in the hotel. However, I was told by the receptionist of the restaurant that we were not allowed to sit inside as we were not dressed appropriately in slippers and insisted we sit outside.
I looked around and did not see any signs informing customers of a dress code. I pointed this out to her but she insisted it was Marina Mandarin's policy.
At this point, I brought to her attention a couple sitting near the entrance of the restaurant wearing slippers. It was only after this that she grudgingly showed me to a corner of the restaurant.
While making our way to our seats, I noticed foreigners dressed more casually than us with a few in slippers and flip flops. I told the receptionist but she said it was different types of footwear.
I really wonder if there are different dress codes for different customers. I paid $141 for the breakfast and had wanted to enjoy my weekend stay but it was ruined because of one silly incident. Apparently, Marina Mandarin has different classifications of slippers for different customers. As far as I could tell, it was an ordinary family restaurant for breakfast and not a fine dining establishment. Seah Gek Hoon (Miss)

Dun deflect the main point of the letter in your eagerness to perform NS for your owner. Luckily the forumners are smart enough to discern such silly tricks.

It is fortunate the Ms Seah is well mannered. Strangely, if it was me, the situation would be worst. Somehow, I have very bad or short temper when agitated and/or discriminated, the other day, I just f88ked those morons at Singtel broadband hotline for giving me some bureaucratic craps. It is about time SingTel gets another CEO to trim off deadwood like what DBS did!!

Miss Seah Gek Hoon can afford to eat & stay at Marina Mandarin...wahh!..it is time to eat frugally, two months down the road, she may not even afford a meal at the nearest HDB coffee shop!

I paid $141 for the breakfast

$141 for 4 person = $35 per person.

What kind of breakfast is that? Shark's Fin Porridge?

She should bitch about it with her manager and make a big fuss like the angmohs. Else, they think locals are easily bullied.
