A useful stop. Two triangular thick half sandwiches. Brown bread with seeds. Moist avocado. Chicken for a protein boost.

Paris Baguette and Food in Terminal 4 at Changi airport
Paris Baguette is just after you exit. In fact we saw it from inside whilst waiting for our luggage.
Afterwards we discovered alongside is another eating place serving one of our oriental favourites - mango sticky rice.
A handy large guide on the airport internal wall shows you what is available to eat and drink on all three levels.
We arrived at Changi on a flight from Vietnam on VietjetAir. (You have to pay for food on the plane.) After you collect your luggage from the carousel you see this oasis beyond glass. Just beyond the exit is this eating place.

We shared a coffee with cream; and a smoked salmon and avocado baguette (roll).

Singapore is a great stopover between Russia or Europe and Australia.

Plants For Tropical Balconies In Singapore

Problem
What can you plant on a Singapore balcony and how will you water it?
Answers
Look around at the balcony of nearby blocks or go to the allotments or simply chat to other people you meet.
ANTI-MOSQUITO
My first contact at an allotment told me about flowers which repel mosquitoes. A local garden centre sold us an anti-mosquito plant.
VINES
We didn't think vines would grow in warm Singapore, as they are mostly on cool hillsides. However, to our surprise we found a vine growing on a neighbour's balcony.
Our UK wine education expert told her that to get the best vine produced fruit, you prune a vine like a rose bush.
I queried this. I have seen rampant vines growing bunches of fruit over back walls of a house in back gardens.
The wine expert replied:
The grapevine plant puts its effort into woody branches and quantity rather than quality.
AVOCADO AND FRUIT
You can also grow:
Avocado plants from avocado stones. No need to fiddle around with the stone balanced on top of a bottle between two horizontal toothpicks over water, waiting for the roots to appear, like my mother in law recommended for growing a plant from a stone on a windowsill in the UK. Just stick the stone in water in a potting trough, water it once and wait for the regular rains to water it and it will grow.
Rosemary, which is rampant in London, England, also grows well on balconies in Singapore.
Papaya plants.
Mangoes.
MIDNIGHT PERFUME IN YOUR ROOM
Midnight flower
They open at midnight with a lovely aroma which lasts about two hours.
FREE DELIVERY OF POTTING COMPOST
Top Tip
No need to go to the garden centre and pay large sums for a small pack of compost. Order by phone, two packs of organic compost, and get the heavyweight sacks of potting compost delivered to your door for free. No need to feel guilty about making them take a special trip. They have vans circling the area.
regularly especially to a large condo.
Useful Websites
Before ordering compare prices.

The Volunteer Pub, visited in Baker Street, London
The Volunteer pub is on the corner beyond the Sherlock Holmes Museum where you see crowds on the pavement as you walk north from Baker street station from the Marylebone Road along Baker Street towards the greenery of Regents Park.
You will see the pub sign hanging outside.
The surprise is the huge mural on the wall inside of the Great War soldiers.
No the volunteers did not join up inside a pub. The pub came later. Apparently, according to the staff behind the bar, an office where men could volunteer was on this site, then afterwards the pub was established with a name reflecting the location's history.
What about the food? They serve a surprisingly restaurant style food, considering we were perched on stools at high tables. I ordered egg with avocado.
My companion knew this pub because he and the third member of our group used to work in this area. My friend chose Eggs Benedict. He thought the egg should have been runnier. I would have been quite happier with it, as I am not a fan of chasing yolk with a fork and leaving half of it on the plate.
My avocado with egg seemed a very healthy late breakfast for a weekend.
The staff were very jolly. I asked the girl who was serving, "Why is this pub called the Victory?"
She hesitated a moment, before replying, "It isn't called The Victory. It's called the Volunteer."
"Oh. That's explains it," I replied, nonchalantly.
My friend was in hysterics.
Oops. The Victory is a pub in Pinner, named after Nelson's warship.
At The Volunteer, the Gents toilet is downstairs. The Ladies is upstairs. See my other posts about Sherlock Holmes and keeping your bag safe.

Mama Pacha menu
I went to their website and pulled up the menu. As far as I can see, the Deep South is pulled chicken, pulled beef, rice, beans, lettuce, celery and creole sauce.
The Happy Buddha has noodles.
Babajee, the Indian subcontinent version has coriander and lime.
Greek chic has feta cheese and avocado.
The vegetarian option has no meat but includes humus.
You will see on the menu or can ask if and when you go there. The person I spoke to was jolly and friendly.
How much? The Mama Meal is £5.95, which is a wrap or salad box with tortilla chips and a can of soft drink.
Sides include avocado chunks.
Extra £1 for any of these: spicy rice, black beans, cheese, pulled chicken or pulled beef.
I was a bit confused by pulled chicken? At first I thought it was some kind of reformed pate including the gristle and innards. On second thoughts it might be just chicken pulled off the bone and shredded. My search did not produce a lot of scary warnings, instead comments such as 'my little boy loves pulled chicken'.
I must admit I like chicken and do not want to pay for mostly bone and crack my teeth on a chicken wing or leg, so pulled chicken for a sandwich is the thing.
