BTW, the closest grocery store, according to lounge staff, is near Raffles Place, but there's an interesting fancy deli that hotel staff patronize in the same building. You just go out the main (taxi) entrance, go right and right following the building wall. The place is called something like AP House and has a big Macallin (spelling?) scotch display. They have a nice selection of wine at fair prices for Singapore that compare well to duty free shops at SIN, including about fifteen types of whites and champagnes that are pre chilled. The Singaporian guy that might be the owner speaks perfect American English and is quite knowledgable, especially about Australian wines, which start at under SG$25. They carry small wineries and some of the Penfolds good bin numbers, although of course for more money. The place seems to be at least half wine by floor space and half packaged and prepared cold food items. There are outdoor tables, but not good views, just of the construction
activity in the neighborhood and commercial ship activity in the distance. It's open until 9:30 pm.
