Had a 2hrs transit in Taipei and went to the Plaza Premium Lounge again. As the next flight departs from Terminal One, I went to the T1 lounge instead. The Plaza Premium T1 Lounge has slightly different offerings from the T2 Lounge.
Interior of the lounge.
The food offerings in the Plaza Premium T1 lounge is different from that in T2.
Departure gate for the last sector.

Queuing to board.
Boarding the aircraft and proceeding to my seat in the rear economy cabin. As usual, pillows and blankets were pre-set on each seat.
Boarding in progress
View out the window.
Inflight magazines and headset. Unlike the SIN-TPE sector, we got proper headsets this time round with much better sound quality.
Boarding completed but there were 3 "lost-in-transit" passengers and their bags needed to be offloaded.
Bags offloaded, doors closed and safety video was played.
Taxi to the ruway.
Takeoff from Rwy23L bound for Singapore.
Climbing out of Taoyuan airport.
The IFE screen, though small, had better resolution on this newer aircraft.
A bar run was conducted. I had an apple juice with the delicious rice-crackers snack.
Overflying the southern port city of Kaohsiung.
Meal service started shortly after we left the coast of Taiwan. Service was very friendly and warm by the crew. Interestingly, there were 2 Thai crew (it was announced) among the crew onboard. On there SIN-TPE sector, there was one Thai crew as well.
Meal selection was either Chicken with pasta or Seafood curry with rice. I chose the pasta. Came with starter, fruits, warm roll with butter and a dessert cookie (similar to the OKA-TPE sector). The main course tasted rather bland as compared to meals served on the previous sectors.
The other choice was the Japanese Seafood curry with rice.
Spent the flight watching a Korean action comedy.
Flight path
Descending and landing into Changi Rwy20R, almost 30min ahead of schedule.
