Singapore = the proudest city when it comes to local food. Seriously.
A few things that touched D's tongue for the first time. It was one amazing and huge meal after another. At no one moment were we ever actually hungry; just existed in different levels of fullness.
Tiger Beer from Singapore--the imported variety is a little different.
My favorite veggie: garlicky baby kailan.
Chilli crab and all the fun stuff that comes with it everytime we have it, like fried mantou and har cheong kai.
Simple but delicious hawker food with Iris on a rainy day which foiled our other plans--hence, off to the hawker centre slipping and sliding in heels. White carrot cake, oyster omelet, satay, rojak, chwee kueh.
We had loads of kopi while we were there. Coffee with condensed milk; so brilliant.
Frog leg porridge. Mmmm.
If frogs were more readily available and didn't look so blinkingly creepy when alive, I would pretty cheerfully replace chicken in my diet with frog.
Crab bee hoon--my first time too! Slurp.
More hawker food including black carrot cake and ice kachang.
Ramen--not bad but still nothing comes close to NYC's Ippudo (not even the Singapore Ippudo unfortunately).
:)
Ya kun kaya toast with soft boiled eggs :) Look at that butter mm.
Indian food with the fam, D nods eagerly to a waterfall of curry on his rice and suffers the consequences later. Spicy stuff.
You have to eat with your hands when eating Indian food in Little India. 'Twas fun. The real skill lies in eating curry and only have the tippy tips of your fingers getting messy.
Here we are squatting on our patio watching D eat durian. I personally enjoy it but really hate the durian burps that last for the rest of the day :S
Prata! Quintessential.
Which goes well with bandung.
When was the last time I had the pleasure of trying 200 new foods all in a row?? Not sure what new taste would surprise me at this point, which is a fairly disappointing realization ...
