Trip report: SQ981 BKK-SIN Business

We arrived at the airport early at 4.30 pm. Checked in at the Business class check in counter at row 2.
we received a premium lane pass for customs clearance that enabled us to clear immigrations in less than 5 minutes. Boarding was conducted at 9.25 pm and the business class section is full. We were served with welcome drinks promptly and given a choice of newspapers and magazines. 
 Welcome drink
 Very large legroom. TV folds into arm of seat.
 Dinner menu
 Wine
 Alcohol
 Cocktail Menu
 Coffee
Tea menu
 Toiletries in the bathroom.
 Royal citrus and Fruit Spitzer
I had the garouper. Quite tasty. but the couscous sides are bleh.
Prawn salad is good with large fresh prawns
The missus had the pork. Overdone pork, almost like jerky

The plane took off at 2145 BKK time. The flight is a short 2 hrs and 25 mins. The attendants were attentive and even went around looking for fashion magazines that the missus asked for. The downsides were the pork dish, the flickering Krisworld entertainment on the Missus seat. At certain angles, the screen flickers annoyingly The Faulty IFE seems to be reported by other passengers as well. They were apologetic and reset the systems but were unable to fix the problem.Fortunately, the problem stops after 1 hr or so into the flight. Flight arrived at Changi on time at 0010 hrs SIN time.
Overall, this is our first Business flight experience on SQ, we had high hopes for our national carrier but were slightly let down by the infrastructure,  hope it does not go downhill from here!
