time for a Tiger
along with some tasty veggie murtabak with curry sauce.
Tiger beer was Singapore's first locally-brewed beer, established in 1932. Now popular across southest Asia. "The 'It's Time for a Tiger' slogan for Tiger Beer has run for decades since its inception in the 1930s. The writer Anthony Burgess named his first novel Time for a Tiger (the first part of the Malayan trilogy The Long Day Wanes) after the advertising slogan. The beer was popular in the Malaya of the 1950s, where Burgess was working.
Burgess reveals in his autobiography that, when his Time for a Tiger was published, he asked the manufacturer, then Fraser and Neave, for a complimentary clock with the Tiger beer slogan. The brewery declined to offer this or any other freebie. But fourteen years later, when Burgess was better known, it relented. In 1970 it told Burgess he could consume any of their beers free of charge while in Singapore, with their compliments. 'But it was too late.' Burgess wrote, 'I had become wholly a gin man.'" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Pacific_Breweries
