Day 3: Breakfast before Tiffany's

You don't need me to tell you how sumptuous the Raffles Hotel is - just check it out at www.raffles.com. The trouble is, staying in a place like this can go to your head. The service is sublime, the food presentation exquisite and the spa facilities a dream. After a while you start to believe you can really afford to stay there.
So it was after breakfast in the Tiffin room we found ourselves at a swish designer shopping mall, Takashimaya, on Orchard Road.
We went into Tiffany's where I pretended to be looking for a diamond ring and asked the assistant to show me some. Oddly enough, none were quite right, so we politely declined. It was only afterwards Ross told me about my favourite, a reasonably sized heart shaped solitaire.
"I really liked that one," I said, fluttering my eyelashes at him.
"I'm afraid not," he replied. "It was $275,000."
