"Lucky View Seafood" in WSSS. Best black peppered crab around. Bring a drop cloth and try not to stare at the Tiger Beer girls.

D@MN! I was in Singapore a couple weeks ago, wish I would have known about this place then... We went to a Lowry's (near the Marriott) and had Prime Rib...

I'm going to the Lowry's tonight for my Thanksgiving steak....It's out the front door of the Marriot and make a left on the second floor of....THE SHOPPING MALL! I'm here with one of our pilots who loves to shop. He spent 1500$ on Minimoto pearls (sp?). What is the deal with putting them behind the toilet tank at home to keep them moist? I am guessing that it's because they are a shell and you dont want them to flake??

Next time you are here go to the Westin and hit the "New Asia". Nice view....inside and out.

The Prime Rib at Lowry's is fantastic... Yes, only a short walk from the Marriott (The Marriott is quite nice also).

Not sure on the pearls, if you get to Beijing (ZBAA) you need to go to the Pearl Market downtown. Many of our guys have bought strings of pearls for $50-$80 USD only to get home and have them appraised for $500+.

The pearl market! Thanks, I'll check it out on Monday if Universal gets the visas for me in time. If not it will be another crew. Now I hope they get the visas so I can finish the Christmas shopping.

You have to try "The Lucky View" for the black pepper crabs. Just remember to wear clothes that you dont mind getting food on!

If you make it to Beijing and stay at the St. Regis, you can walk to the Silk Market where you can buy nice North Face jackets for $20 USD and other things... But always, ALWAYS barter with them, and really low ball them, you'd be amazed at how low they will go for things. Typically you can get things for 20-40% of the first price they throw at you...

Falcon Capt:

You the MAN! Thanks for the good intel. I just got word it will have to wait untill the next trip. I'm heading back to Istanbul tonight then on to LFSB.

Now I got to go do the International Pilot thing and turn on CNN to see my president with our troops.

Next time you are here do the boat ride. It's an old Junk that takes you out around the harbor. The food is so-so but the boat ride is great.

Will do, our Singapore trips seem to be increasing in frequency... We'll have to keep in touch and see if our paths will cross in some third world country, we can meet up for a beverage or two!

When at TEB, we go to the Sea Shack. Great sea food, and there are a few very good looking waitresses and hostesses!
