What's for lunch?

Food is top-of-mind right now – I’ve given up soda and meat for Lent. I know, it doesn’t sound that difficult. Just try restricting yourself on anything for 40 days. Suddenly, the cravings kick in. Discipline – good for the soul, right?

Since I’ve been thinking so much about food thought I would share a few local dishes.

First, a bowl of mee siam, brown broth over very thin rice noodles topped with a sliced hard-cooked eggs and spring onions. Yummy! Cost: S$2.80, or US$1.88. Medium spice, just a little fishy/shrimpy.





Next, an Indian feast – one of our favorites.










Stingray. Really meaty fish, more like chicken.







Local favorites – carrot cake here is not what you think! That’s it front right on our table.














And, of course, the local drinks of choice – Tiger beer or coconut juice .
