... if only we had realized what a harbinger that was of the utter fiasco s---show dumpster fire that was to follow. "Fawlty Towers" is the only thing I can think of to compare to the amazing display of serial incompetence we witnessed.

Alternate lunch plan for Sunday:

Nothing against Muthu's (I enjoyed it when we went in 2017) but I'm not in the mood for it tomorrow -- am thinking of a ramen place I walked past today which looked interesting:

Ikkousha Singapore

planning on going to the Tanjong Pagar location around noon tomorrow.

note: if you search for it on Google Maps it puts the pin in I think the wrong place. My memory is much closer to where Yelp has it, which is around the corner from something called Duxton Medical Clinic:

https://www.yelp.com.sg/biz/hakata-ikkousha-singapore

in any case the discrepancy isn't too far apart.
nomadic.relief and GrjApp like this.
