It is so nice to travel outside of the typical destinations of Las Vegas, New York and all the other great North American cities. My trip to Singapore brings me back to meet old friends and to make and meet new friends as well.
This trip, I'm here to see Lawrence whom I've met during a trip to Vietnam as fellow travellers. We hit of off and even shared a local buffet together, not your typical Vegas buffet, but the local great dished of Vietnam.
This time, Lawrence is showing me his home country with foods from his Peranakan culture. From the fish head curry to the god awful durian, it was a pleasure to dine with him and experience a day of culture and it certainly didn't end there as we continued with a trip to Singapore's Chinatown Hawker center. Indulging in perfectly roast duck as well as perfectly prepared Hainanese chicken rice, it was a great day.
And as even approaches, I took a little side trip to a gourmet hawker center called Gluttons By the Bay. From the iconic Singapore Chili Crab to the legendary satays, it was quite the experience. What happens when you order too much food in Singapore? Well, you make new friends of course and share a beer or two together over sweet tangy saucy crab and charred grilled meats.
