Cold weather, winter boots, coats, hats, mittens and scarves. And DONUTS.

Really?! One thing Singapore has plenty of is over-priced bland franchised restaurant chains.

Also, there is supposedly a CPK at Singapore Forum:

Singapore: Forum
Forum the Shopping Mall
583 Orchard Road, #01-23
Singapore, 238884
Mall is located next to the Hilton Hotel
65 6836 0110

Fuggedaboutit.

The CPK there sucks. It doesn't even compare to the CPK in the Philippines.

Pizza's dry and bland. You're better off buying Sarpino's.

Well, that's all pizza in Singapore. And CPK isn't too hot if you're in the US. Much better choices!@
