In the past year I have flown back and forth to Singapore so much that I was expecting the pilot to ask me if I wanted to sit in on this one. The feeling was bitter sweet because while I have grown comfortable with exploring the places and food of Singapore, the commute every four […]
In the West Indies, curry is a very popular dish.

Clarke Quay, Singapore This has been my best meal in Singapore so far. I did not think anything would beat Chong Qing Fish in Chinatown but today Bayang somehow did it. Everything on the table was a taste bud awakening experience. As someone who loves to cook, this is what I dig about traveling. When something hits my […]

We are starting to discover that we don’t have to trek all the way across Singapore for good food. Not too many tourist have reason to make it to the industrial side of town and all the local faces gave a hint that this place may be easier on the wallet without sacrificing taste. My […]
My last night before coming back to the States my college buddy suggested that we hit the Newton Food Center for dinner. With over 80 food stalls in a horseshoe shape they had something to satisfy any food lover. Althought this place is promoted by the Singapore Tourism Board, I didn’t get a tourist trap […]
Today I woke up at noon for another day of Singapore exploration. The alarm was set for 1200 on the dot and I was sitting on the bus exactly twenty-two minutes later. My movements are clearly getting more efficient as the bus pulled up right after I got to the bus stop. When I stepped off […]
