Lounge food (the airport sort)

Some of you might know that I just recently returned from a whirlwind trip. Plenty of cities in 10days! London-Singapore-Sydney-Singapore-Johor-KL-Johor-singapore-London.. Hectic! It was a trip filled with family and food (so so so much food), where there were days I needed to lie down after each meal for fear that I'd topple forward or fall into a food coma. We ate whenever we felt like it, so it was hardly a 3 meal a day affair and became more like phat kids trying to eat through the world affair.

It all started on my journey to Singapore. On the plane I was fed so well; satay (with some extra skewers as requested by this phat kid) then the main of chicken rice followed by fruits and slice of cake for dessert.. Let's not forget the many cups of green tea and garlic bread I felt I had to consume. I knew I had to get some sleep in preparation for my 9 glorious hours of layover in Singapore, but what I wasn't prepared for was the food that awaited me in the airline lounges! Someone went a little mad with boredom it seems..
-first course: more sticks of satay
-secondly: curry with brown rice
-followed by: pear and apple juice
-fourth course: rice with green curry
-then: carrot cake (chai dao kueh)
-are you appalled yet: sushi rolls
-seventh plate: more carrot cake ( but I was in a different lounge so it looked and tasted different!)
-finished with: watermelon and pineapple. Seriously the sweetest and most awesomest pineapple ever. I kid you not. My dad would make a stop at this lounge every time he flies just to have it. Naturally I had more pineapple to absorb it's awesomeness, till my mouth was so furry it became a furby.


Tried to take photos but I was so caught up with eating I forgot at times..

By this time I was ready to roll onto the next plane to take me to Sydney. However, (hold on to your tummies..) Singapore Airlines could read my mind and gave me more food! Satay again, followed by garlic bread and then my main of chicken curry and rice! 

Are you full just from reading this yet? Actually I'm a little hungry thinking about it.This was all before I had landed at my first destination of Sydney. Needless to say, I had an awesome trip filled with food, family, fun and a new dog Billy. Now it's back to daily work life /dread.
