Officially a Singapore FOODIE!

I think I am officially converted to Singapore's 2 national past times...

1. Shopping - Which I think I have had down since day 3 of my stay....and now
2. EATING!

When I first got here, I swore that I wouldn't be able to handle eating only rice and noodles for each meal. Now with a more open mind...AND the help of my new guide, Makansutra, I've made peace with rice and noodles!

My new goal with my time left in Singapore is to try AS MANY categories of food listed in this book (and trust me, there are A LOT! More than I think I could try in a lifetime in Singapore actually) Oh, and part B of my goal is to try and not end up 20 lbs heavier either ;)

Where else to start than with one of Singapore's, if not it's most famous dish: Chicken Rice

This was the line to order. Hard to see, but most other stalls had no one waiting!


Before...


After...



Next up: Fried Sweet Potato Dumplings!!!

I was pretty skeptical about this one before I tried it, but I figured for 40 (Singapore) cents for a plain one...it was worth the try. There were plenty of flavors: plain or with fillings of Red bean, Black bean, Peanuts, or Pandan Coconut. I got one of the plain sweet potato ones (only 1 so I would keep to part b of my goal...to not gain 20 lbs!)

I have to say...currently, it tops my Top 10 Singapore Food List! Yes, it was THAT yummy :-P





So much more food...but I'm very much looking forward to it! :)
