(Semi-Pictorial TR) Ending an Absence from SQ and Spending a Long(ish) Weekend in SIN

[jhm]

I agree with HUGE AL - IMO, Oriental applies to vases and carpets but not people. HR here at work classified me as Oriental a while ago and I got them to change that.

Good TR, jjpb3. As eloquent as ever.

One day, we need to do a calorie busting heart-killer breakfast. There's this nice place in Chinatown where you can get the kaya toast then followed by maybe two soft boiled eggs with a dash of soya sauce. Maybe after that a bowl of laksa and to finish with a nice proper coffee served with a thick rim cup.

jjpb3, thanks for the update.

Would you have any pictures of the special meals? If not, could you please describe the food in words? I have never had a special meal before and I might actually consider one next time I fly on SQ.

Sorry, phaleesy, my memory is hazy. And it isn't because of over-consumption of alcohol.

For the Indian vegetarian, I remember there was a biryani-type rice dish; a chana dish; and an Indian dessert. But beyond that ...

The 'Oriental' option was a chicken stir-fry with steamed rice. Not as flavorful as the main dishes I've had, but perfectly adequate.

The main thing is, I didn't have any regrets about not ordering from the main menu. That counts for something, no?

You're on.

Just to clarify: as long as it's not in the UK. Heart-killer breakfasts there really would cause me to drop dead.
