Things I Ate in Singapore

Dim Sum breakfast - rather slimy rice noodle with a pork filling, not sure what it was called
Hainan Chicken Rice - boiled chicken on rice with a chicken broth and a garlic/ginger chili sauce
Chili Crab - see description in the previous post
Fish Noodle Soup - light broth with fish balls - rather bland
Chinese Roasted Duck - duck served with ginger and a dark sweet sauce
Roti Prata - a buttery Indian flat bread served with curry sauce to dip it in
Lassi - an Indian drink made with fermented milk - not bad, but a bit sour and gritty
Sushi and Sashimi - I actually got over my dislike of sushi and really enjoyed the dinner
Thai Green Curry - you all know this one, right?
Thai Green Mango Salad - refreshing crunchy, tart mango with a light spicy dressing
Chimichanga - only because I could, but not very good by American standards
Margarita - definitely better than what I got in France
Dragon Fruit - beautiful red fruit that tastes a bit like kiwi
Snake Fruit - rather bland fruit but the peel looks like snake skin -creepy!
Durian - really obnoxious stinky fruit, one bite only but I swallowed it. Smells like natural gas
Chicken Curry - Malaysian style curry, spicy yellow curry with coconut milk. Yum!
Singapore Sling - celebrating a successful customer visit

Singapore is a food-lover's heaven. The group has been taking us out for lunch every day and sharing their favorite dishes with us. They took us to the grocery store to pick up the unusual fruit to eat in between product tastings. Dinner has been a smorgasbord of tastes. We also visited a cafe that specializes in chocolate pastries. We tasted several versions and they were all good.

For work, we've been cooking fried chicken. So every morning and afternoon we have been tasting about 6 variations of chicken flavors. With all that chicken, our appetites have been spoiled so we couldn't try as many things as we wanted to.

I've also had to watch the amount of spicy food that I'm eating. Since Dutch food tends to be really, really bland, my stomach is not accustomed to the spicy things. That's how we ended up having sushi for dinner. Sushi was the blander option, believe it or not.

I have one more full day in Singapore before flying back to the Netherlands. I'm hoping to enjoy a few more specialties while I'm here as well as soak up a bit more of the warm weather.
