Mandy was in Singapore with three of her co-workers on what was a cross between a business meeting trip and overall convention. The four of them had finished a major presentation for the day and thought it went extremely well so they decided to celebrate. They had been to Singapore before and the one thing they didn’t get to do, which they all had been interested in was attend a performance of Cantonese Opera. So, on the night of their big success, they decided that they should treat themselves to a production at The Chinese Theatre Circle. Travel was a significant aspect of their job and the four of them made great traveling companions because they were all interested in exploring the local culture, including the food, wherever they went. So the last time they were in Singapore, they enjoyed some great local cuisine.
They all loved the production and were talking about it on their way out of the theatre. Mandy finally had to interrupt a conversation they were having on the detail of the customs and make up to say that she was famished and they needed to decide where they were going to eat before they could continue. Everyone started suggesting traditional Singapore cuisine options and some through in Chinese restaurants they had heard about. Finally Mandy had enough and had to say that she needed Italian food and could not compromise. Everyone was silent for a moment and then burst out laughing. Mandy was known for strong, and often bizarre, food cravings, and this fit her perfectly. Of course there is nothing bizarre about Italian food, or maybe there is who knows, but it was not what anyone else would have thought to have on that particularly evening in Singapore. It was settled though, the group was going to continue their discussion on the beauty of Cantonese Opera while enjoying pasta and or scampi in an Italian restaurant.
