In Singapore, Mr. Soo Siew Keong, Programme Chair, APEC Accommodation, Hospitality and Singapore Experience Subcommittee, APEC Singapore 2009 Organising Committee says in the briefing materials I've been provided with that, “APEC delegates will be presented with a compelling buffet of culinary delights that is Uniquely Singapore." Hurrah. Singapore cuisine, I'm informed, is derived from Chinese, Indian, Malay and Peranakan cultures.
As for the victuals until we get there, we are dining on good, old Canadian-prepared airplane food. Airplane caterer Caras stocks the Canadian Forces Polaris CC-150 (A modified Airbus 310) that ferries the prime minister around the world. The bill in Ottawa was just over $11,000 from Caras. (News organizations like Canwest, I should point out, always pay their way on these trips on a pro-rated cost-recovery basis. The Prime Minister's Office decides on the price. For this trip, which includes round-trip airfare to Singapore, Mumbai and New Delhi between now and next Thursday, news organizations are paying $7,000 per person for the flights, hotel, and filing facilities.) At lunch, served while we were high over Western Canada en route to a refueling stop in Anchorage, Alaska, we had a salad plate with a prosciutto and chedder cheese sandwich.
The meals on board CF 001 -- the flight number of any plane the PM is on -- are served by Canadian Forces personnel from Transport Squadron 437, based at CFB Trenton, Ont. I've been on several trips with the PM and I've always found the CF folks to be a pleasant and patient lot, though 27 hours in the air on this one may test all of us.
In any event, here was the menu for dinner served on our flight between Anchorage and our next refueling stop in Tokyo:
Lobster Appetizer
Choice of:
Grilled Atlantic Salmon
Black Truffle Butter
French Lentil Ragout
Green Beans and White Asparagus
or
Penne Pasta
Peppercorn Carbonara Sauce
Sun Dried Julienne Tomato and Roasted Yellow Peppers
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Desert
Tiramisu
Coffee, Tea
Wines:
Peller Estates Okanagan Heritage Select Pinot Blanc 2007

The Prime Minister was served 24 different dishes during his first day at the summit – just hours after urging the world to reduce the "unnecessary demand" for food and calling on British families to cut back on their wasteful use of food.
Mr Brown and his wife Sarah were among 15 guests at the "blessings of the earth and the sea social dinner".
The dinner consisted of 18 dishes in eight courses including caviar, smoked salmon, Kyoto beef and a "G8 fantasy dessert".
The banquet was accompanied by five different wines from around the world including champagne, a French Bourgogne and sake.
African leaders including the heads of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Senegal who had taken part in talks during the day were not invited to the function.
The dinner came just hours after a "working lunch" consisting of six courses including white asparagus and truffle soup, crab and a supreme of chicken.
The lavish dining arrangements – disclosed by the Japanese Government which is hosting the summit in Hokkaido – come amid growing concern over rising food prices triggered by a shortage of many basic necessities.
On the flight to the summit, Mr Brown urged Britons to cut food waste as part of a global drive to help avert the food crisis.
Opposition politicians and charities condemned the extravagant meals.
Dominic Nutt, of Save the Children, said: "It is deeply hypocritical that they should be lavishing course after course on world leaders when there is a food crisis and millions cannot afford a decent meal to eat.
"If the G8 wants to betray the hopes of a generation of children, it is going the right way about it. The food crisis is an emergency and the G8 must treat it as that."
Andrew Mitchell, the shadow International Development Secretary, said: "The G8 have made a bad start to their summit, with excessive cost and lavish consumption.
