[SIN] The Private Room at SKL T3

First time in TPR on Sunday. I was escorted from the entrance of the SKL.
Over the four hours I had there from 16:30 to 20:30 I saw about 15 other passengers.
I was very impressed with the food and service.
To finish the experience I received a buggy ride, organised by SQ staff in TPR, to gate A13 to board my flight.

Apparently, it took just one complaint of being disturbed by people talking audibly on their cellphones to get them to install the telephone booth which I think is a classy touch.
Shame they didn't take away those spring onions they were serving as crudites next to the hummus 'dip' while they were at it, thoughLe jour de Saint Eugène, en traversant la Calle Mayor...

TPR
Had been about 3 months since I'm here. But I had a pleasant experience today. Came in during dinner time (instead of mornings) and I'm pleasantly surprised by the fact that they're serving First Class wines. No Dom Perignon, but they serve Veuve Clicquot. And the reds/whites are from the First Class wine selection. So at least, this is an upgrade from the First Class lounge. I also enjoyed the food here. And its the most crowded ever .. over 15 guests? Looks like SIA is doing not too bad.

I have seen TPR with more than 15 people in there, admittedly only the once.

Oh, by the way, there's another slight "computer" related problem. There are 2 PCs in the TPR (one Apple, one Windows based) and on both of them, the Internet connection is haphazard. What I mean is that when you "click", sometimes you'll get through, sometimes you'll see a circle spinning on the bottom left (I know ... "circile spinning" reminds you of the infamous SIA website right?) and then "unable to connect". It happened quite frequently.
The person next to me (using the Apple) experienced the same problem too and remarked : "I thought Singapore is supposed to be an IT hub?", and gave up.
Thinking that it could be just the TPR computers, I went to the First Class area and the same problem too. Maybe the entire SIA IT infrastructure is suspect ?

We are not slow to criticise them on here (despite what certain individuals think...) when they cut back on stuff, so kudos to them for upping the quality of something for a change.

Is there only one Champagne on offer or a selection to choose from?

I was that surprised I did say 'Are you sure it's LGD ?', so he went and got the bottle to prove it.

Just came out of the Private Room. There's a wine list provided ... and gosh ... 1 champagne (LGD), 2 whites and ... catch this .. a total of 8 reds. almost all of which are Burgundy Grand Crus. There's also the Dessert wine they're offering in First Class. Once again, I had my favorite Foei gras burger + Lobster linguine .. and I realised that even for ice-cream desert, they plate it properly. I'm quite impressed by the service provided in the TPR. Certainly much better than when it was first launched.
