Another fabulous SQ experience. SQ treats this 3.5 hour 77W flight the same as a 12 hour flight... Dom, Krug and a 5 course lunch menu. Man, I could get used to this! Only 6 (of 8) pax this leg with 3 full time FAs providing absolutely flawless service.

For some reason, I never tire of the Singapore Girls...

Today, I again opted for the eastern menu and the celebrity chef's recommendations from Singapore's Sam Leong.   Appetizer sampler menu supposedly including abalone with avocado, curried chicken salad, beef fillet in BBQ sauce and mushroom tofu soya crumbs... although I couldn't find any chicken salad or BBQ sauce... perhaps it was the Krug?

Double-boiled pork soup with wild mushrooms, long cabbage and conpoy. Not to my palate, but at least I'm venturing out...

Radicchio with baby spinach and Singapore dressing infused in shallot oil with sambal, lime and honey... yum-yum...

Steamed Chilean bass in ginger sauce, broccoli with conpoy and steamed rice with fried shiitake. This was pretty tasty.

For desert, back to the west for a yummy warm apple and pecan pie with ice cream and vanilla sauce.

And of course, throughout the flight I continued to feed my liver with Krug and the Beaune Du Chateau Premier Cru 2006 Bouchard & Fils.

The only negative was our end of the terminal HKG arrival gate and the long trek to C&I. Oh, do I miss SIN and JetQuay. Although we had a Peninsula greeter who tried to jump the C&I queue for us, a People's Republic gestapo agent intervened, chastised her, recorded her ID #, blocked us for entering the queue and let 40 or 50 C&I lice go before us to prove a point that no one is special, especially filthy Americans. Yeah, bite me!

We had the last laugh as we hopped into our air conditioned RR a few minutes later for the ride to the Pen!
