Mango on my wishlist, arriving at Terminal 4 Changi Airport, Singapore

After claiming your luggage, pass Paris Baguette, or stop there for a leisurely first course, then have a mango dessert here at Ma Mum. Ma and Mum? they have covered all the languages there.

You can see the counter at the front with pictures of food clearly displayed above. (I frst saw that picture menu system done everywhere in Japanese food places.)

On the right you can see the seating.

According to their website, this branch is open from 7 am until 10.15 pm but they have another branch in Terminal 1, level one (ground floor) which is open 24 hours. An additional branch is in Tampines.
 
The Ma Mum menu includes kaya toast, beef rendang and much more. See their website.

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

Snippets From Singapore's Airport: Terminal 4 opening; Terminal 5 building; Housing + Feeding The World; Airport Security and Food

Singapore Airport
Singapore airport is the best airport in the world. I am not the only person who says so. It wins awards and votes consistently.
Terminal four has just opened in Singapore's Changi AIrport, used for Cathay Pacific airline. 

Construction has already started on building Terminal five. It will be as large as all the other terminals combined.

So Singapore expects many more people to arrive. Where will they put all those people? In new hotels, if they are temporary visitors. But they will also need more restaurants and offices and places of entertainment if they are on business. No wonder you see construction everywhere in Singapore. Can our planet take all these people? 

We can build houses, but how will we feed everybody? Where will we find the land? Travelling to other countries, in person, or over the internet, shows us answers. Singapore's answer to lack of land is to extend the main island by building up artificial islands using unwanted waste, rubbish collections. Solve two problems, where to put your unwanted rubbish, and how to find construction material. 

Water and Crops
Singapore has pioneered growing plants in the air, in conservatories, plants living on the humid air and projected water.
Hydroponics.

Time to water the desert, use all those empty areas, miles of sand, uninhabited scrubland. 

What about the land occupied by cemeteries. The Jewish cemetery in Orchard road was removed, moved, to make way for what is now the Ngee Ann City skyscraper containing a landmark shopping mall on the lower levels.

More recently, another big cemetery has been cleared away. I think it was for a motorway. A member of Friends of the Museum was given an award by the government for organizing a project to photograph all the gravestones, for the benefit of relatives and historians, before they were moved.

Maybe it’s time to turn dead bodies into compost, woodland burials, to create trees giving the world oxygen. 

Trees
Speaking of trees, 

Plants
All plants create oxygen. At night they go into reverse and use oxygen, so it’s said, and hospitals tell you to remove plants. 

(Watering flowers is time-consuming. Maybe volunteers could do this task. Quicker to water plants if all the rooms looked onto a central plant area. Flowers for one person would brighten the whole floor, as they do in any multi-occupancy bedroom.

Airport Security and food boxes
In security, somebody was carrying leftover food in a cool bag. 

Security asked, "Have you any dry ice? Dry ice is not allowed."  
Presumably the reason is because this could go off accidentally and cause panic.

Berry’s of London
Berry & Rudd of London has recently opened and expanded their operations in Singapore. They began by sending their VIP London marketing and sales man to wine and dine the big spenders, the big wine buyers in Singapore, to fine dining. They also held a grand wine tasting in Singapore at lower prices than they would have charged in London. If you like wine and good food and matching wine and food, now is a good time to look for their wine tasting and dinners, whilst prices are so tempting.
