And strangely enough I have eaten at the one on Arab Street. I can recall who we went with, but I can't say I can remember anything about the food.x9200 wrote:There are also at least 8 Russian restaurants in Singapore

It's kind of surprising as only 3-5 years ago there was only one, at Arab St. Some owners/staff must be Russian. Never have eaten out in any of these places so can not confirm neither food nor nationality.

Sounds like a hotel bar I was in East Berlin in 1988 before the wall came down. A Russian pulled a flick knife out on me.... (see Sergei - I knew there was a reason I didn't like Russians!). Turns out he was joking but still... I'd forgotten that memory until I read these posts.JR8 wrote:zzm9980 wrote:I have to say that in my adult life I've only ever been irrationally frightened at one place I visited: Chocolate, a russian night club in Beijing.
A-ha! Reminds me of a nightclub in Sharm, Egypt called Black House (naturally we rechristened it Black Whores). That too was full to bursting with Soviet-bloc hookers. I recall at one point being threatened by a pimp...
My first and only time!
[p.s. this club was attached to a surprisingly smart household-name hotel where a couple of our dive group were staying... ]
Good joke... but only in retrospect years lateroffshoreoildude wrote: Sounds like a hotel bar I was in East Berlin in 1988 before the wall came down. A Russian pulled a flick knife out on me....
