'Orange is the New Black' pop-up diner in Singapore will serve up gourmet prison food
SINGAPORE -- Never thought we'd say this, but we would totally volunteer for some jail time.
For two days this June, Singaporeans can immerse themselves in prison life thanks to Netflix.
Fans of Orange Is The New Black will get to live, breathe and eat like their favourite characters from the show at the Orchard Road diner OverEasy.

On June 16 and 17, Netflix will transform OverEasy into Litchfield Penitentiary Cafeteria, and serve complimentary Litchfield grub cooked up by Singaporean chef Bjorn Shen, of Artichoke and Bird Bird.
According to Shen, he's created a special menu for the event that's based on the controversial prison dish, Nutraloaf.
Viewed by many Americans as cruel prison punishment, Nutraloaf is made up of a three-course meal blended together into a paste, then baked into a loaf.
Doesn't sound or look too appetising, but rest assured, your taste buds are in good hands. "Since this is not real prison, I've made this dish look and feel like a Nutraloaf, but taste much better," Shen tells Mashable. "Mine's made of mushrooms, cheddar, quinoa, pumpkin and nori."
To complete the prison experience, the special Litchfield grub will be served on a plastic tray, and we heard through the grapevine that utensils might not come with it -- just in case a fight breaks out. Prison wardens will also be present to keep the peace.
While orange jumpsuits might not be mandatory, it wouldn't hurt to turn up looking like a real OITNB inmate.
Book yourself and your crew in online at Chope. Only limited walk-ins will be accommodated to avoid prison over-crowding.
