One of the interesting things Tim discovered on his business trip to Singapore was that it was definitely a great city to discover you were hungry in. This happened to him during the second meeting of the morning on his first day there. He was surprised by how hungry he was and how suddenly it hit him. Then he remembered he hadn’t eaten anything since the previous morning because he had difficult time eating anything when he flew and he went to sleep almost immediately after settling into his hotel room. That morning he grabbed a quick cup of coffee and was nervous about the first meeting, so he didn’t even think about breakfast. Tim was one of those individuals that just couldn’t eat when he was nervous, worried or otherwise upset or concerned about something.
At least his urgent hunger indicated to Tim that he was dealing well with the work and was feeling okay in Singapore. The downside was that since it was his first meeting in town he hadn’t had the chance to explore anything yet and had no idea where he would go and the meeting wasn’t scheduled to end for another 45 minutes. Just as Tim worried it would, his stomach began to make loud noises and it gained him some unwanted attention by his project partner. The partner offered him a Snicker’s bar but Tim was worried that the sugar would upset his system since it hadn’t had anything but caffeine in it for the past 24 hours.
Luckily for Tim the meeting ended 15 minutes early and he rushed out onto the street determined to dine in the first Singapore restaurant he found. It turns out that he didn’t even need to wait for a restaurant and he discovered a new way of having lunch and a great new meal. He encountered a hawker food vendor and saw a small line of people in front of it. He joined right in and ordered a bowl of the rice and fish. It tasted so good and was just what he needed to get through the rest of the day. When Tim looked up from his bowl noticed a sign for the Majestic Restaurant across the street. That looked great he thought and found the perfect place to have his dinner. Tim thought he might eat his way through the city of Singapore while he was there.
