In terms of logistical difficulty, I concur. I visited there on Monday. It was a $S12.50 taxi ride one way from the Holiday Inn Atrium with no surcharges. On return it was bus to MRT to taxi. Pasir Panjang is presently a construction zone caused by the new MRT extension being built zero meters from the edge of the hawker centre. This also appears to have shut down a number of stalls. Also the girls have stated that they are lazy.

In January, I bought the card, need Singapore address such as "SanDiego1K c/o Conrad Hotel, 2 Temasek Rd, attn: concierge" since they do not mail to foreign addresses. I bought it 4 hours before our event (available at any Jumbo outlet) and the receipt served as the same purpose as a real card. I am sure that they can handle it at the door. At #5, ask for Eric Chong-headwaiter. Also remember to make reservations at either NSB or Jumbo.

KK: My dear, I am unfortunately going to be in Portland at the time of this event. I'll have some Dungeness for you if it is less than $US3.99/lb.
