From MBS' website:
By 8 pm every evening, The Club at Marina Bay Sands takes dining to a whole new level with Singapore’s first Chocolate Bar, some 57 stories above ground. This full-blown chocolate buffet will offer 57 chocolate-themed items, crafted by hand with Valrhona chocolate and created by executive pastry chef Alejandro Luna and his team. The Chocolate Bar, which retails at S$38++ per person, will be available to the general public as well. Reservations are required at +65 6688 8858.
Reservations are definitely necessary, I don't think they take walk-in customers. The place was not anywhere near filled when we left at 10.30pm but I saw people getting turned away at the door, they were told that the place was fully booked.
The bar is open till 11.30pm but you can stay till 12.00am to chat and enjoy the beautiful views of either the city skyline or the sea behind.

| No, that is not dim sum... there's some kind of chocolate in it. |

| Artistic, no? :P |

| Some tea to go with the chocolate. You can also choose to have hot chocolate, if you can stomach it. |
The chocolate is not exactly to die for, but it's good enough. You can't really have too much of it though. I have a sweet tooth but I got a bit sick of all the chocolate after a while. The service was good... when you were able to get it. Seriously, I had a hard time getting the server's attention any time I needed something. And you had to call them otherwise NO ONE bothered to clear the plates! This is a buffet, I don't think it's too much to expect the plates to be cleared after you were done. At one point, I saw a guy with four used plates stacked next to him. Isn't this supposed to be a 'high class' sort of place?
I definitely recommend going to try it at least once. If you're thinking of paying $20 to go up to the SkyPark, why not consider paying an additional $20 to have a comfy seat and enjoy all sorts of chocolate themed food items over a coffee or tea while taking in the view.
After eating, you could jump in the pool and work off those calories...
lol j/k don't do that, security will probably throw you out. I think the pool is only for hotel guests. Anyway, you could still sit by one of the benches next to the pool, the views are impressive.
However, it was raining heavily just before I went so it was seemed slightly foggy. Just look at the poor palm tree with only 2 leaves left!
Bonus picture, Little J on NYE!
