Yesterday at the Zurich airport location, an Indian woman just trashed the trey of cheese bread in front of us when we just bought it! When my fiance asked her why she is doing it, she said " we always do it because we need to close soon"!So what I think is that its a shame for Switzerland to have such poor service in the most beautiful airport after I saw how people do care about the environment and do not just ignore such issues!It is a shame of this woman and administration of the chain not to educate their staff !SO WE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MARCHE RESTAURANTS ! WE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MARCHE RESTAURANTS ANYMORE!

This was very disappointing, but may in part go towards explaining why it was almost empty at prime lunchtime Sunday 2pm. Very shortsighted if you ask me. We (2 adults and 2 kids) all had full meals and drinks off the menu. Including 2x $5 soft drinks and a jug of heineken. Then were told no for water. Shame, this penny pinching attitude means I'll think twice about coming here again! Wawawa at Bedok also don’t give free tap water.

One year ago i worked at my house and now (that i work in "an office all day job") i think is very easy to take 30 minutes to make something nice, easy and healthy to eat. Being in an office from 9 am to 6 pm, errands that always is needed to do that you just have the afternoon to do them because you are at the office all day long, then 1 hour at least to get home: there is very very hard to have a decent meal! Dont be so hard on yourself, enjoy that blessing that is work at your home and be your own boss, treat yourself good and prepare for yourself a nice meal. I'm not saying that this Curry La Mian is bad, i dont know how it is, im sure they're good... Sorry and with all my respect but you work in your home and dont have time for cooking something??

There use to be a chinese 'la mian' xiao xuan fung but think it closed down. I remember where Qi Ji once located, there was a pizza place of sorts... Was it california kitchen? I can't recall. Such is the fate of our eating places. Here today, gone tomorrow!By the way, like your article and pictures on the house of Up. I like that movie a lot. It tells the story of moving on...

When you get to Singapore, you may notice that there aren't many restaurants and bars you can find that are surrounded by lush greenery. The ones that are tend to be more upmarket, like at Rochester Park. It definitely has a unique concept and a idyllic setting to house it.
