Tanglin Club Terrace Restaurant - super crepes Suzette and the best bread and butter pudding

 If you are wearing shorts you cannot eat in the smarter restaurants in the Tanglin club but you can eat at The Terrace restaurant. Once you are seated, nobody sees your legs anyway.

I ordered a curry.

Later on a delicious dessert.

The piece de resistance was the dessert, crepes Suzette. If you eat upstairs in the Churchill restaurant at higher prices a waiter prepares the crepes Suzette on a trolley beside your table with the flames and excitement and drama. However, here there is no delay or distraction and the taste is equally good.

The bread pudding was the best. How do they do it so well? Do they add cinnamon? Cream? Salted butter? My family buys unsalted butter since we think salted butter suits savoury dishes and unsalted butter is needed for neutral or sweetened dishes. Whatever the ingredients are, it is even better at the Tanglin Club than we make it at home in England from leftover dried bread. 

If you are a member of a club in London or another major city your club might have reciprocal arrangements. You can find lists of reciprocal clubs on a club website.

DJ Adam dies, woman injured - preventable accidents!

May 6, 2019, Adam Sky, DJ in Australia, dies, rushing to help his injured friend who fell off a terrace in Bali.

Two preventable accidents:
she falls off a ledge,
he walks into glass.

In my opinion,
1 Balconies and terraces should have metal or glass barriers 5 foot high.

2 All glass barriers, doors and windows should have a build-in diagonal black line to prevent people bumping into them.

More ideas:
3 Safety nets. Or awnings which curve up to catch fallen objects of people.

4 Stepped buildings (like Habitat in Canada and the building opposite Tesco in South Harrow).

5 Playgrounds (in Singapore) now have rubber floors to protect children falling off equipment. The same could be below any balcony or terrace.

Regarding glass sliding doors, a good friend of mine, in Spain, head-butted a glass door he tried to walk through. It happens all the time. Accidents waiting to happen.

Where to Find a Sunny Terrace at Excel and Where To Get A Vietnamese Sunhat

The first day I spent at Excel exhibition centre in East London I got so hot indoors all day and wished I had a way of sitting outside for a break in fresh air. Later I discovered there are upstairs access to terraces with views as well as access to a bar and terrace on the lower ground. 

I found it a nuisance having to go up and down stairs to toilets in the basement. But you can get lifts all the way.

The helpful sign says, danger, and warns of deep water. It tells you who to phone for help if somebody should fall in or be seen in difficulties.

 Some outdoor seating would be a good idea. Chairs are inside around the bar.

Me and my Vietnamese straw sunhat. OK, the selfies don't always work. But you can see I'm enjoying the sun on the terrace.  All day and evening people kept asking me,'Where did you get that hat?' (The old song says, Where did you get that hat!) I got it from somebody who gave it to me when I asked where he got it. He said he got it from the Vietnamese stand. Stuck onto the hat is the name of the promoter, the Victoria Tour and General Commercial co Ltd, Hanoi Capital, Viet Nam. www.victoriatour.co.vn
