Our stay in Korea had come to an end and it was time to go to Singapore. However it wouldn't be yet another day on this trip without another downpour. We managed to scamper to the same nearby Issac Toast where I ordered a delicious bulgogi MVP
After breakfast we left the AirBnB and took the all-stop train back to ICN. OZ does the ground handling for SQ and even offered to help my friend deal with her tax refunds after we had checked in. Since we had some time to spend before our flight to SIN, we hung around the the OZ lounge. The lounge itself is nice and airy, but otherwise there isn't too much of note in the lounge. The food spread is mostly just ok and I nibbled on some food for a second breakfast.

After boarding we were greeted by a typically excellent SQ crew and we got settled into our seats. The 77Ws feature the new-ish J class seat that I reviewed more extensively on their new A350-900ULRs. Soon after an FA appeared with a tray of welcome beverages and I had a glass of water.
Menus were already in the literature pocket and I had forgone the book the cook option since none of them looked particularly appetizing.
After boarding was completed we were quickly on our way to Singapore. Unfortunately there was a good amount of turbulence early, including periods that interrupted the meal service when the FAs were asked to be seated. Once the lunch service began it was the usually lovely satay accompanied with a citrus delight and an iced Milo.
For the main I had ordered the braised chicken dish and overall I was not happy with the dish. The portion was small, and the chicken itself felt that it had either been battered and fried (like fish and chips) and the outside had gotten soggy and wrinkly or the skin had been allowed to crisp and then got soggy and wrinkly by sitting for too long. The odd textural element may have been a victim of the meal service being extended through the turbulence, though the plates of lamb I saw going down the aisle looked much better.
With all the stopping and starting, the meal service took over three hours, over half of the flight time. I spent most of the rest of the flight browsing the IFE and sampling all of the TWG teas.
Aside from the chicken it was another lovely flight on SQ, though we ended up arriving just after a giant school group from Hong Kong and immigration took almost 45 minutes. Once clear we were on our way to the city and the Hilton Garden Inn Seragoon in the colorful Little India neighborhood, where I had stayed on the aforementioned last trip to SIN. The hotel itself is a decent Hilton Garden Inn-perfectly adequate with nothing really standing out good or bad. This time we got a room in the main building instead of the satellite building across the street.
Since it was about time for dinner we headed over to Old Airport Road Food Centre, which is one of my favorites, especially given how many vendors remain open for dinner into the late evening. Once again I engorged myself on food because why not.
After our late dinner, we headed over to the Supertree Grove in the Gardens by the Bay. We wanted to go after the last music show was over and the crowds had dispersed so we could do a little bit of night photography.
After shooting away, we headed over to the Shoppes at the Marina Bay Sands in my friend's quest to find some Irvin's salted eggs. Naturally I got sidetracked and ended up at TWG teas, and ended up buying a few teas to take home. After my small shopping spree we went and my friend got some Irvin's right before they closed for the night.
