Singapore is a good place to eat. You will not see people selling food on the street in Singapore. The government thought it was unsafe and moved them into designated areas. Because it is regulated by the government, the food is safe to eat. This country is influenced by so many cultures. Sandy and I were walking done one street that had Korean, Indonesian, Chinese, and Italian food. If you want good Turkish coffee, you can go to the Arab neighborhood. I went to an Indian restaurant in Little India where the banana leaf place mat also serves as a plate, and I had a side of paratha. For breakfast I tried dose and nasi lemak. Sandy and her boyfriend also made sure that I had chili crab, chicken rice and bak kut teh (pork ribs). I also stopped at the Raffles Hotel to try the Singapore Sling.
Sandy has amazing cooking and baking skills. For example, back in England, she made cheesecake for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. Her kitchen in Singapore is very limited, so there is no oven. She purchased a microwave that also serves as an oven. While I was visiting, she roasted a lamb in it and then made sourdough bread from scratch in order to make lamb sandwiches for a party she had one evening. She also made wings and chocolate chip cookies in the special microwave.
Thank you to Sandy and her boyfriend for letting me stay with them!
