“Better than Katong Laksa”


….in my humble opinion. At least there are no flies hovering around you when you are slurping your lip-smacking bowl of laksa at The Dining Room @ Sheraton Towers Singapore. (For those who have tried Katong Laksa will be able to empathize!)
 
As you slurp, you also savour the scenic view of the waterfall right before your eyes. Joie de vivre!


 
The aromatic coconut-based curry gravy embraced the springy rice noodles harmoniously; accompanied with bean curd puffs, quail eggs, freshwater prawns, julienned cucumbers and a dollop of freshly-made exotic sambal belacan chilli. What more can you ask for on a Saturday afternoon?

My only grouch for this Sheraton Towers dish is the absence of cockles…which will make my afternoon perfect!

Changi Airport has raised The Bar in its Toilet Cleaning Services


 
Remember my quite some time ago  blog post on “Toilet has iPad” (http://zonrecommends.blogspot.sg/2011/07/toilet-has-ipad-singapore.html)? Now Changi Airport has upped the ante by including the cleaner’s name (so that you can feedback) and a little message that emphasized the ‘iPad’ screen is being sanitized regularly (in case you are a clean freak).

It goes without saying that Changi Airport has raved numerous accolades for their crème de la crème customer care!

They have even invited their tenants (shops, restaurants) to do likewise. Voila!
