Of course: Platinum and Le Royal Club Lounge Guests continue to enjoy the choice of either having breakfast in the Club Lounge or at the Rain Tree Cafe in the lobby floor.

The breakfast now served in the lounge is a smaller selection of what was previously available but it is nice to have the options.
Unlike LM Kuala Lumpur, no Jean-Georges tidbits in the lounge. So will go back to the raintree tomorrow for breaky.
This being said, I must congratulate the staff at Reflexion of its excellent service minded attitude.
To my surprise, Khun Belle remembered our visit of 4 weeks ago and where I was seated.
As an amuse-bouche was served, she remembered that I do not eat fish or seafood and before I could utter a word, ordered a substitution. Now this was really impressive (I don't expect the staff to remember my personal preference, specifically after my second visit).
As I was dining alone and had forgotten my book in Singapore, I enquired about the Financial Times. A staff was promptly despatched to look for the newspapers and returned with a copy of the IHT instead (no FT was to be found in the hotel). Belle not taking this for an answer went herself to the lobby to chase a copy of the newspapers. She came back with nothing but I appreciated the effort. This was well beyond the call of duty.
Chef Chiumenti spent a while of the evening at the table. Always great to hear from the Chef's past experience and work. I truly admire his foie-gras and told him so and he explained the process of preparation. Most memorable and great evening.
Must say that I have never found any ground for complaints at the PA. On the contrary, always great service.

Yes, indeed it's early for most people, but I wanted to go to breakfast even earlier! 10:15 am is about the latest it can be before the buffet closes at 10:30. 
Are you going to join us?

I just might. Not sure if I land the evening before or early that morning and hadn't decided yet where to stay. I've taken to heading to a great join for pancakes on Saturday mornings of late but only around noon. Hmm.... Ok, made my reservation.

It is looking that way. You may also see me Friday night if you come to the lounge during cocktail hours. I have some work to finish before I can officially finish the week. I'm also hoping we'll be joined at breakfast by another FTer who is in town so consider me down for 2 or 3 people at Breakfast. ^

I will be arriving late Friday night. But lovtofly3, uncle1k, and mb SeanthePilot will be there. With all the Plats, I don't expect to get a suite when I arrive.
With the hotel getting busier, I can understand why their rates have been increasing, but I hope it doesn't continue.
