Singapore!

It's been over 17 years since we first visited Singapore. At the time, neither Andrew nor I had been anywhere in Asia and it seemed like just the right balance between exotic (multicultural, tropical, famous for its food) and safe (a developed country where English was spoken). Since then we've ventured to far more challenging places ... yet we still crave Singapore between visits.

While most people see Singapore as merely a stopover between flights, we like to visit for several days at a time to soak up the ambience and hoover up the food. We were there again a couple of weeks ago. The adventures included ...

Intriguing signs

Apostrophes embedded in the pavement

Colourful buildings

A fabulous tour of three hawker [street food] centres

led by the lovely folks from Singapore Foodsters

Kaya toast and kopi C

Richard Feynman's bongo drums, in an

exhibition at the ArtScience Museum

Cooking class (our second!) at Food Playground

Tour of black and white bungalows (with Jane's Tours)

Discovering Azmi Muslim Restaurant in

Little India ... so fabulous we ate there twice

The cat cafe. Who can resist a cat in a cravat?

Singapore is always a joy to visit. Although it's changed a lot over the years, we still find quirky things to do ... and delicious things to eat.
