Another installment in the Fun Food department! The most famous Singaporean food (and our daughter's favorite) is Chicken Rice...it is just what it sounds like, with chicken on top of a mound of rice, but whatever they do to it makes it extra special. (I think they pour a ladle of chicken fat over the top...)
On Saturday, we spent a long time opening our bank account - the bank was located in a mall with lots of other banks and shopping venues where the locals live and shop. And, of course, it had a food court. This one was especially nice and new, but I had to get a photo of one of the local specialties...there is always a line at this kind of food stall...go figure!
We actually stopped in at a McDonald's for coffee, milk shake and french fries. Sometimes you just have to go with the old standby.
On Sunday we were in a high end shopping area on Orchard Road and saw this delectable sign...unfortunately we were in a hurry and they were just opening, so we didn't get to sample the cuisine, but you can bet I will be back soon to try it out:
And the reality of a country that doesn't like its citizens drinking too much, so they tax the heck out of alcohol...next time you buy a bottle of Barefoot wine for $4, think of me!!
Salut!!
Are all of the signs in English? Love your blog and love you, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with you on McDonalds. When you are confronted with new sights, smells, and sounds, you naturally seek out a bit of home....Which is why Brian always laughs that I can find the only other Italian in a crowded room.
