Hi all,
9V-SIA, was this flight full? I want to know it because someone tolds that the load in this flight BCN-SIN/SIN-BCN is low, and because of it, SQ may quit this flight. So, can you tell me the load in this flight in Economy and in Business class.
Thank you for all,
By the way, I liked so much your report

In fact 100% full MXP-SIN.
If this European tag works, can we hope for FRA-VIE, FRA-MUC or FRA-BER?

They were actually killer rabbits phaleesy so I didn't feel so bad
Killer Rabbits
Very crispy on the outside, juicy and meaty inside. Not gamey at all.
Clarification needed to previous post #48.
No satay because caterers don't do satay on a Sunday flight.
My bad..Last edited by 9V-SIA; 1 June 2010, 08:23 PM.

2 other things I'd recommend you do in BCN
1. Iberian Ham Tasting
We were strolling through Gracia,
a village long since swallowed up by BCN's growth
but managing to retain its unique character,
when we came across this charcuterie where....
..we noticed a wide difference in prices of the different jamon.
So we bought a baguette and samples of 3 types...
.. took it back to the hotel for a "blind tasting".
The butcher scribbled the different types on the wrapping.
Just came across this today in the NYT
Iberian Ham
2. Lunch at Can Ravell
This nondescript exterior hides ...
..a great deli and..
.. at the back, in the kitchen..
.. a spiral staircase that leads to...
.. a communal dining room where we had a 3 hour meal ( 6 starters, 6 mains, 4 desserts for 30 Euro )
with some businessmen from San Sebastian.
Managed to get a list of places to eat in San Sebastian from them too.

9V-SIA, your food pics are making me so hungry!
That's a lot of food for two people! Was Mrs 9V-SIA eating two full meals a day too? I remember you mentioning that she skips some meals so that she could eat more later in the day?
San Sebastian has a lot of good tapas too. You should really visit one day. I think you would love it. I compiled a list of places to eat ages ago. So we basically went to each place, ordered their specials, gobbled the food, then hopped on to the next, and the next, and the next. We usually just stand at the counter with a drink, then move on.
There was a rather unfortunate year when we were part of a group who went to SS together. Some individuals in the group were rather too 'posh' and demanded tables to sit down, proper cutlery and napkins etc. So I wandered off after a while and left them to their own devices.
I do not think they understood the concept of bar hopping. If I wanted a proper sit down meal in a fancy restaurant with napkins, I would go to a 3 star Michelin in SS.Last edited by phaleesy; 16 November 2009, 08:18 AM.

Some days calorie neutral ( we like to think! )
For example, after the Can Ravell feast, we had the Iberian Ham tasting for dinner.
Other days, not so calorie neutral.
Breakfast at Pinotxa Bar at Bouqueria
was followed by brunch of churros & hot chocolate
and tapas lunch at Cal Pep and dinner at Commerc24.
I know who to PM for San Sebastian eats!
BTW still look at your Hyotei & Koyasan pics...
Hyotei
Koyasan
Ever go to Kikunoi & Il Ghiottone?
Hyotei and Kikunoi have Michelin stars now. Rats!Last edited by 9V-SIA; 1 June 2010, 08:37 PM.

Are there a lot more places you've been to but have not talked about in your TR?

But yes, omitted quite a bit.
I'll get round to posting my pics of the Catedral with its charming cloisters populated by 13 cute geese!
Never been to Kikunoi and Il Ghiottone. We did not think Hyotei was that great. Nice to look at but tasteless.
The vegetarian place in Tokyo (Daigo I think) is a lot better!
I can see why your sympathies might lie with the wabbit and not me.
Bugs Bunny the other day and Mickey Mouse today. You are evil, 9V-SIA!Last edited by 9V-SIA; 18 November 2009, 09:51 PM.
