[SIN] The Private Room at SKL T3

[Coathanger]

I'm hardly worried - I've logged in almost 2 days also at TPR (photographed / documented)

Thanks for the inspiration Kyo. I had originally thought it might be crazy to spend that long in any lounge but seeing your posts this thread made me reconsider.

Day 3

Breakfast (fruit plate, waffles)





And just for completeness some additional items consumed

I think Kyo+ is busy picking his jaw off the floor....and probably planning to top this near-two day marathon.

45 hours?!? That is equivalent to a marathon. Did your flight get cancelled? And you decided to near the airport on standby?

Nope this was fully intentional. I had a two-day gap between arriving from BKK and departing for CGK so decided to make the most of that red boarding pass.

I would have gone for a later flight to hit the full 48 hours but wanted to experience the new First on the retrofitted 777-300 so went with SQ956.

How do you kill 45 hours in there?

I just planted myself in front of the TV and watched EPL highlights and replays for most of the day while surfing the net.

I also went for the occasional walk around the terminals and visited the Butterfly Garden to stretch the legs.

The refreshed T2 SKL opened when I was there so I went to have a look as well.

Time flies when you're having fun.

I camped out at the far end of TPR next to the new telephone booths/kids room in December and the waiters were checking up on me every half hour or so.

Admittedly I was there for 45 hours (overnighting twice at the T3 transit hotel) and managed to try out quite a bit of the menu:

Hmmm...this is very surprising to hear. I've sat out in Siberia and ALWAYS had people checking on me constantly.

It was a great experience but once is probably enough! Thanks goes out to Alain De Botton for the inspiration.

Whilst I'm able to comment on the The Private Room, I would say the service isn't great.

I was sat at the far end and had to repeatedly seek out people to get me something to drink (nothing more dramatic than mineral water). Not really what I expected.

Feeble Wine List

Well I'm currently in 'The Private Room' and although there is the very tasty Veuve-Cliquot La Grande Dame, there isn't any kind of red wine selection (I didn't look at the whites). There were two choices -- a chianti (I think) and an Australian Shiraz.

I had the Shiraz which was fine (a Tatachilla).

To be honest I think a Grand Cru Bordeaux might have been a bit too much to accompany the superb hamburger (one of the best I've ever eaten).

Interesting... So the guy serving me in the TPR had no idea what he was talking about...

Well, jetlounge did say that Jewels were a SATS subsidiary... so the guy wasn't completely wrong, I guess? Especially if Jewels supply the chocolate through SATS in a non-retail packaging.
