Liang Court is supposed to be good but it was so darn crowded we couldn't get in unless we waited at least an hour so will have to try another time.<BR/><BR/>Tung Lok at Raffles Town Club is truly excellent and always crowded although the rest of the club is dead.<BR/><BR/>- Cindy QAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-1148309939455164802006-05-22T22:58:00.000+08:002006-05-22T22:58:00.000+08:00Technically Morton's has multiple locations, so on...Technically Morton's has multiple locations, so one could try to argue that it constitutes a "chain." But you know what I mean by chain restaurants - the plasticky Chilis, Applebees, Red Lobsters of the world that have proliferated across every town in suburban America, thus making them look horrifically identical to each other.<BR/><BR/>Morton's is clearly not a "chain restaurant" in that sense.<BR/><BR/>If you really were to define "chain" restaurants as simply having multiple locations, then McDonald's would qualify too. But I think you'll agree that that's fast food, not a chain restaurant.bmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945804626363803948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-1148305686440053362006-05-22T21:48:00.000+08:002006-05-22T21:48:00.000+08:00amigo, you love Morton's don't you? and if that is...amigo, you love Morton's don't you? and if that isn't a chain...(as is din tai fung, wink..and so is nobu!)Mister Fedward Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034010745533491224noreply@blogger.com
