Beans and toast panic attack at Singapore Shangri-La

Newly arrived the previous night at the awesome Shangri-La Singapore

27 hours travelling perhaps more

Could hardly raise a snore

Float half senseless to buffet breakfast at The Line

A quick peek on the way to the table

My goodness this must be some gastronomical fable

Asian, Indian and “International” cuisine beautifully laid out

Absolutely no reason possible to pout

Head straight for chicken congee

Causing me to muse YIPEE!

Observe a Brit with panic in his eye

I’m thinking he’s about to keel over and die

Urging a waiter to guide him to a breakfast he “could eat at home”

Returns with a big grin gone the panicked look and plate loaded high

With The Full Monty

Bacon, sausages, eggs, fried tomatoes, fried bread and black pudding

Despite you are in Singapore Mr. Brit

And nearly had a fatal culinary hit

How can you eat that ****
