understand that you are overseas? the next time before you leave singapore, you should deep freeze some dumplings, pack them in those insulated silver containers and pack the container in your check-in luggage. the dumplings will still remain frozen when you reach your destination. -

I haven't searched via Google yet... but my instinctive guess is... somewhere in Shenton Way... near the Raffles Place MRT Station, perhaps?Originally posted by LazerLordz: Good food must be hunted down Another clue, it's in the south. -

HUUUUUUUGE thing!!! How in the world do you eat that??!!!
I think we can organise a picnic, ask them to cut each monster of a burger in quarters, and each one have a quarter of it as a 'finger food' or snack. -

Carl's Jr.(R) to Open 25 Franchise Restaurants in Singapore and Malaysia
Development Part of U.S.-based Chain's International Expansion Strategy
CARPINTERIA, Calif., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CKE Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: CKR) announced today that its subsidiary and popular U.S. hamburger chain, Carl's Jr., will soon open the first of 25 new restaurants to be developed in Singapore and Malaysia over the next eight years. The company has entered into a franchise agreement with Aspac F&B Pte. Ltd., and expects to open Singapore's first Carl's Jr. in early 2005.
CKE Restaurants' presence internationally has been steadily increasing, with a combined total of 199 Carl's Jr. and Hardee's(R) restaurants now operating in 13 countries. Ned Lyerly, CKE Restaurants vice president, international, said that the strategic expansion into Singapore was based on the country's high population density, strong per capita GNP, and a broad acceptance of western goods and services. "Finding an appropriate franchise partner was key," he said. The arrangement with Aspac was facilitated through a U.S. Commercial Service, Franchise Trade Mission to Singapore in September 2003.
Aspac F&B Pte. Ltd. is a member of the Fong Tat Group, headquartered in Singapore with primary core businesses in trading, distribution and property development. "We are very excited about the opportunities that this Carl's Jr. master franchise agreement holds," said the company's Chairman, Richard Tan. "With our experienced operational management team led by Philip Lim, general manager, we certainly look forward to the challenge of growing the internationally renowned Carl's Jr. brand here in Singapore and Malaysia."
Tan says Aspac was attracted to CKE Restaurants because "it is a large, successful company with a colorful and strong 60-year history. We researched a lot of food and beverage franchise opportunities, but no other brand could offer the combination of great food and corporate support that CKE does. As the company has grown, they have really kept the family atmosphere. We like that."
"Aspac and CKE are an excellent fit," said CKE's Lyerly. "Aspac is a highly professional, principled, family-oriented firm with strong knowledge of the local market. Their passion for the Carl's Jr. brand and overall enthusiasm for the project were key elements contributing to the successful conclusion of our negotiations."
As of the end of the second quarter on Aug. 9, 2004, CKE Restaurants, Inc., through its subsidiaries, had a total of 3,206 franchised or company-owned restaurants in 44 states and in 13 countries, including 1,016 Carl's Jr. restaurants, 2,067 Hardee's restaurants and 105 La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill(R) restaurants. For more information, visit www.ckr.com.
Called the local Aspac office to find the location of Carl's Jr but alas... the office is closed for the day!
I am THIS close to finding out, LazerLordz... my first burger there shall be on you!! -

And btw, not 'desperate'... try 'Resourceful'... looks better on the good ol' resume! -
Right? Right? Right??
When I guessed, I somehow had visions of that place by the river. No idea why I guessed Shenton Way in the end. -
OK, IF I get it right, I can put down on my Resume, 'Resourceful' AND, since I'm psychic enough to get it right, 'Ability to pre-empt medical emergencies and Code Blue's in the ICU'!

I'm not good at the floors... becuz the building isn't built on flat terrain so it does get confusing...
I'd venture to guess... it's at that section where it's like a 'bridge' over the road, y'know, where you reach it by walking across that bridge from the Suntec Convention Ctr? Used to be Metro. -
