No.

They don't have parve bagels (and bread for their sandwiches) at the Coffee Bean there in addition to the dairy cakes?

Various TRs have recommended mosquito repellent for SIN while others haven't mentioned it. Specifically people mention needing it for the Zoo and Sentosa. How necessary is it?

Didn't need it in August.

Thanks. I guess I'll just buy there if I need it. Or wear loose long sleeves.

How does it work with lighting shabbos candles? Are the candles provided at shul or do you need to light at the hotel? If you light at the hotel, is the GH accommodating?

AJK · « **Reply #504 on:** January 20, 2016, 11:37:59 AM »

We lit in our room at GH.

Thanks. I'm just going to light at shul.

They have bagels and lox (no cream cheese) as well as vegetable sandwiches which I assume are both pareve.

Please check it out for me if when you stop by there.

I did, that's why I responded like I did. I'd be shocked if the bread was dairy, as bread is always supposed to be pareve unless it has a clear סימן that it's not, which their's didn't.

Oh great thanks

I know a nice report is on the way, but can you summarize how was Shabbos in Singapore?

Don't worry, with patience you'll find out.

I'm doing a trip there and MLE in a few months. Would you trust their meat restaurant in SIN to properly package a big takeout order to heat and eat in MLE? We either need to pick up meals there or in LA (I know La Gondola does travel meals) and transport the whole way. TIA

Patience might not work for me:P.
I'm curious to read about it before I head there.

What would you like to know regarding shabbos?

Nothing really specific, just how his experience was in regards to the meals, davening, walking 40 minutes in the heat, etc.

I don't know. When I went to Awafi they had a very limited menu due to an event. I trust their kashrus without a doubt, and I'm sure if you request a big order in advance they can do it for you. I don't know how they'd package it up for travel though.

Unless you'll be there this shabbos I'll have the TR ready before you go. If you'll be there this shabbos PM me. Overall it was an amazing experience though.

Thanks. If there is even a chance the food could be limited I think I'll make sure to bring some meals from LA on the way.

Well you can just ask them a few days in advance. It's not like they won't know if they have an event coming up. Not too many surprise visitors or simchas in SIN.
