There is no winter in Singapore.

I know they don't have seasons, but certain times of year seem to have more rain then others. Jan is in the Northeast monsoon season and July is in the Southwest monsoon season. That was my point; I'll be there during a monsoon season.

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

I only remember the beginning of them

What's the setting, restaurant style/separate table or one big chulent?

Seperate table. Buffet.

So since I'm by myself I'll be eating by myself like I would at a restaurant any other day, or do they make groups? They provide kiddush/challah for each table?

You can join any table you want, it's not set seating.
I joined the MarcoPolo's and it was very enjoyable.

Each table has the basic items on it and everyone just picks a seat. You will not end up alone.

You knew he'd be there. I won't know anyone, though I guess I can be social and make friends.

Oh, I didn't realize the tables were big like that. I was picturing 4-person tables as the largest, like in a restaurant.

They have large round tables that sit 10-12 people.

So more Gam Gam style, just not as pushy and crowded.

I know, just asking as opposed to Uber. I wonder if I'll find any other frum people staying at the GH?

Taxi's are not expensive in Singapore.

And it is not a far drive.

Still Uber also appears cheap, but you're saying it's more expensive than a taxi?

Not sure what the numbers are, but I cannot imagine it being a significant difference.

Got it. Using Uber with CC seems easier sometimes.
