I'm a celebrity, get me out of here

6 August 2006 Don't tell anyone, but we succumbed and ate at the Takashimaya food court. I know it's incredulous on two levels; that we even managed to get a seat in the first place (between the botoxed Indonesian aunties and LV-toting tai tais), and secondly, everyone knows no real Singaporean eats at the Takashimaya foodcourt. But before you revoke my citizenship and delete my SingPass account, in mitigation, we would like to plead that (1) Crystal Jade was closed for renovations; (2) we are semi-tourists after all; and (3) you try ticking off 47 different local dishes over the span of 7 days ( or 21 mealtimes). Desperate times call for desperate measures.
