No - we're not talking about Arnie and Terminator movies. We're talking about the new T3 here in Singapore (opened in January) and Heathrow T5 (allegedly opened operationally in March). I admit I haven't visited T5 yet...I believe a trip to Cape Town in September may see me have that privilege.....but the general perception is not good. As mentioned previously there needs to be balance in life. Yin and yang....Cannon and Ball....etc. To T5's Dante's inferno we have the quiet tranquility of T3 here in Singapore where I sit now surfing the free wi-fi, listening to the tinkle of the piano from a live pianist, after visiting the free movie theatre and watching a bit of TV on the 103inch plasma screen. It's not too crowded and its very peaceful. Why can't all airports be like this?
My final meal in Singapore - it really should have been chicken rice but instead it was some ramen noodles here in T3. Teriyaki chicken ramen (dry) and a final Tiger beer....well maybe final....the heat in Singapore was too much so I got here very early.
The ramen were a revelation. I admit that at home I do partake in the odd packet of ramen noodles. Soften the ramen cake for a few minutes oin boiling water and dinner is served!! Even when in Japan last year I had assumed that the ramen would be similar to these so never had any. How wrong I was and what an opportunity missed last year. The noodles were firm and had substance to it unlike the home-made variety. They also had flavour.....I thought that was what the little packet was for? The teriyaki chicken was smothered in terayaki sauce and it was all complimented by some spring/salad onions (is there a difference?) and an egg.

Yummy.....yummy.....yummy.
