Singapore 10October2025: Breakfast at Singapore’s Shangri-La Beyond Belief: Dazed and Confused With a Happy Gut

So much for the fantastic sleep even with the little white pill. Woke up at 02:30 and 05:30. Dealing with a 12 hour time difference.

Stumbled down to breakfast and the bright colours of the breakfast dining room Line Restaurant assisted with wakeup. Psychedelic 1962 and where is Twiggy? Minimalist and clean with windows offering a view of lush gardens. Three styles of breakfast cuisine; Chinese, Indian and “International” aka bacon, eggs, toast and beans as after all Singapore was under British rule for many years. Chicken congee with hardboiled eggs and chicken floss, dim sum and Singaporean noodles for me. Who are those turkey Brits eating beans with toast and stewed tomatoes? Mango, papaya and dragon fruit. A buffet breakfast from heaven! But small cups of tea with tea bags???? Bizarre given this is Asia. Where are the teapots with looseleaf tea? Highest quality breakfast if not memorable! What a way to start the day. Dazed and confused with a happy gut!
