Towers pop out of a bed of green
While I had no plans to take a second trip abroad this year, let alone within barely two months of my 17-day European conference/vacation, the opportunity to visit Singapore during the Diwali/ZhongQiu season was too inviting to pass up. The opportunity to once again meet old friends, thunder along old walking routes, haunt old haunts and eat old favorites. These are my four nostalgia-soaked days in the Lion City.
I suspect u're much younger than me :*(
ReplyDeleteMy favorite breakfast! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery good pictures, Sohan!
Amazing picts, thanks Sohan.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks a bit strange to me ! ;-)
lol those two towers are across the road, no longer bayshore but the Laguna area.
ReplyDeleteIf that was you in the last of the Pick N Bite pics, I would suspect the opposite. But thanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love how the kaya warms the butter but does not let it melt into the toast. The first bite into the middle is just heavenly.
ReplyDeleteIf you think those look "strange," wait till you actually go to Singapore.
ReplyDeleteHmm ... ok then, by imperial decree, I hereby transfer Laguna to the Duke of Bayshore. ^_^
ReplyDeleteHaha! What is the most terrific food you've ever eaten Sohan ? (in any country you've visited of course)
ReplyDeleteGolly, that's a tough one. Perhaps the biryani at Gazebo in Dubai.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could try to make your own :p. This one sounds good !

I should clarify that I was referring specifically to the Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani. I like many vegetarian dishes, but biryani is not one of them. Biryani, in my opinion, is simply not meant to have a vegetarian version.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would leave just a little bit of the soft boiled eggs in the bowl, pour a little black coffee in the bowl, stir the mixture, and drink it. Gosh, what a cuppa in a bowl! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to figure out.. what is wheat snack? You meant You-tiao? What is that green mixture?
ReplyDeleteYes, those are onion youtiao. The green mixture is a wasabi dip. These are from a specialty youtiao joint at the mall over Novena MRT station.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Sohan! You really trimmed down since college.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that between the bread?
ReplyDeleteWhoops, sorry, just read the caption. Truly, where else but Singapore. But you have to admit, it's rather economical to sell it that way.
ReplyDeleteWonderful view, I love the bridge for some reason.
ReplyDeleteInteresting architecture and facade.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, but what sort of attire are you wearing? Is it ceremonial?
ReplyDeleteoohh... u risk a beheading... questioning the Emperor's robes like that.
ReplyDeleteHan Chinese traditional robes, known as hanfu (汉服)
ReplyDeleteI think I will be lenient ... 10 years in the copper mines!
ReplyDeleteXin jiang!
ReplyDeleteYou may stay at home, eat strawberry jam and lemons, but it may not protect you from flu.
ReplyDeletePremium drugs help physicists all over the world not to let the epidemic spread fast!
