I think the diner is reluctant to pay, but dare not show his displeasure in front of their clients. Sometimes, it could be the host's clients insisting on wanting expensive meal @ certain restaurant, but the host does not know the eventual price to pay. I remember when I first came out to work, with not much money, and the staffs wanted to treat a resigned employee, everyone went to a very expensive restaurant and I was shocked, no knowing how much I will have to share the bill. It was a scary experience when you don't have much pocket money in those days. Even now, I wouldn't want to join people on a meal outing, very stressful. The food might not suit your taste too.

Guest Guest Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 From the news article, the receipt seems to be leaked out by restaurant staff. The diners didn't flaunt it. And anyway, it's their money. I really don't see why anyone else should feel indignant. If you have to insist on doing so, then consider how Singapore as a country splurges $$$. All the time and effort, translated into pay and fees, to justify the coming prezzie election. Only to have CCS justify then insist Malays are already over represented in government within the same hour. On the same podium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being said, drinking red wine at room temperature should be done under moderate climates. With your lovely 35°C, maybe it's preferrable to "cool" the bottles slowly in a room with aircon before opening them. Certainly not with ice cubes, haha! But I am not an expert...
