Because today, according to their Twitter feed, is the day that booking opens for the TĪNG restaurant in the Shangri-La Hotel:
Reservation lines for #TĪNG will open on 17/3/14 for dates from 6/5/14
Many Head for Points readers are sitting on $200 of Shangri-La food and drink vouchers following their promotion last year, so this will be your first chance to use them.
