Just remember all the sweat you'll accumulate from a 30min walk in Singapore
Walking down the main strip you can actually catch some AC coming out from the stores. There were some spots which were actually enjoyable.

I'm more worried about having to wear a rain jacket (in case it rains) over a suit jacket without the ability to take either one off (and walk with them) since there's no eiruv. I may leave my suit jacket at shul though.

Ok, fine, but still wearing a rain jacket when it's hot and humid doesn't sound fun to me.

I believe it is usually Kellogg's but is also one of those things that can change daily so you should usually check v

So it was fine when you were there? Do you remember if the cereal was from England or Australia?

Yes, plus after shabbos.
May? Definitely.
30 minutes of sweating/raining?!.
So I guess IC is a much better choice in regards to convince. Shame that being IHG Spire is useless.

People don't wear rain jackets in Singapore. It usually rains for a few minutes every day but that's it.

Even in the winter? So they just get wet, or take cover when it rains?

Lots of overhangs from stores on the main strip.

So you didn't wear/bring a rain jacket either?

Wasn't anything too special, but was a very nice atmosphere. Maybe D93 remembers more about the meals.

Hmm. When I emailed them asking if they have food that's vegetarian friendly they said, "[t]here are vegetables and fruits which you can take." Doesn't make it sound too good to me. Also that's comparing it to KZ in HKG who said, "[w]e could also make a note to our kitchen and they would prepare accordingly."
