The Tastings Room

ComforDelGro revises taxi fares YET AGAIN
SINGAPORE: Commuters can expect to pay more for their taxi fares from next Monday.
That's because one operator - ComfortDelGro - has announced it is revising its fare structure from December 12 to better meet the increased demand for taxis.
And the National Taxi Association is urging other operators to adjust their fares as soon as possible.
From next Monday, the flag-down rate of ComfortDelGro taxis will increase between 20 cents and 70 cents depending on the model of the taxi.
So trips on a Crown taxi, for example, will start from S$3.00 instead of the current S$2.80.
For the Camry and Limousine cabs, the flag-down rates will be between S$3.40 and S$3.90.
The taxi meter will also register a jump of 22 cents instead of 20 cents, but over a longer distance travelled.
Advance booking fees will also rise to S$8.00 to encourage more drivers to accept such bookings. For Limousine cabs, advance booking fee will rise to S$18.00.
But the current booking fee of S$3.50 for peak periods and S$2.50 for all other times will be reduced by 20 cents.
The public holiday surcharge of S$1 will be removed.
The peak-hour surcharge - now at 35% of metered fare - will be lowered to 25%.
But the surcharge will be extended from 6am-9.30am in the morning compared to 7am-9.30am currently.
The evening surcharge will also apply to Sundays and public holidays and will run from 6pm-midnight compared to 5pm-8pm from Mondays to Saturdays currently.
As a result of the revisions, some commuters will see a drop in total fare bill while others will experience an increase.
For example, commuters who take taxis between 5pm and 6pm will see a 21 percent or S$2.60 reduction in taxi fares for a 10km trip, while those who take taxis in the extended peak hours will experience an increase of about 33 percent or S$3 for a similar 10km trip.
In addition, the evening city area surcharge of S$3 (from 5pm-midnight) will be extended to include Sundays and public holidays.
ComfortDelGro said the flag-down, distance and waiting time fares were last adjusted in December 2007.
Since then, taxi drivers have had to cope with higher costs of living as a result of inflation, said the company.
The National Taxi Association said that in view of the rapidly rising operating costs, especially diesel prices, the revision is "fair and timely" to help taxi drivers defray part of cost increases.

Outback Steakhouse
Finally had a chance to dine in Outback steakhouse @ Millenia Walk. The food really lives up to my expectation. We order Set lunch, that comes with soup & drinks....
Bread with cream cheese? (I believed) - and this is really good. The bread was warm and fluffy, and just a little crispy on the outside.
The Soup was great as well bursting with flavors..
Pork Chop with Aussie Fries - The pork chop is nicely done! slightly salty... the fries was great crispy on the outside fluffy in the inside!
