We are trying to sort that .

Chui Huay Lim , the Saturday dinner venue is a very good Teochew restaurant within The Teochew Club of the same name .
Very popular , if not already reserved , difficult to get us all in . Checking if lowjhg did reserve last year later . Hoping . Co ordinating with bschaff1 who will be inflight shortly

Need to figure out how many of us for dinner soon .. to try see what we can do ..

Also,if anyones going from Chicago Seminars/FTU, let me know too

Cheers

The new dinner place works better for me. So I'm not sad we couldn't get into the first place. I came to Newark over 2 hours before flight hearing about it being one of the first airports for TSA drlays. They must have been referring to the United terminal. TSA was dead quiet. Will be boarding "world's longest flight" in a little over an hour

Erh , welcome to the heat , humidity & as I type , rain ..

Do not see Chui Huay Lim in mine ..
Please look at the Wiki & not posts 1 - 7 / placeholders by lowjhg .

bschaff1 who will be inflight soon ( again ) , and probably I , will update the Wiki - hopefully no iPad typos or FT system hiccups

Saturday dinner is at Violet Oon ‘ s ION

Reminder : Please check Wiki for details & updates , thanks

Will be wandering around TANGs & ION today - Friday

Made it into the JL F lounge in HND after a productive afternoon in "the city".

Enjoying a late dinner... somehow I avoided all the options on the street and in the basement of supermarkets.

Is Saturday dinner cash or card?

With the activities we have planned, is it recommended we get a tourist card in SIN, or just buy tickets as needed? Been doing some light reading tonight.
