A Postcard from Singapore
Things have been quiet here. I have been fully immersed in my bacon hiatus, aka Project: BACON. It is going well and taking almost all of my time, as it should. All work and no play is no fun though (even if the work is all Project: BACON), so I have taken a few days in the middle to spend the weekend in Singapore.
I know. Bonkers.
I am here for 3 nights to attend Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards and also to check out the food scene here, naturally. I realised pretty quickly that it was a little silly to come here for such a short period of time, in terms of what I am doing to my already battered body, but it is worth it just to get a taste. I am doing pretty well digesting it all, with 50 Best activities (more on those later), restaurant visits and hawker centres.
I am at the end of Day 2, and outside of restaurants, I have been to Little India, Tekka Market and the Old Airport Road Hawker Center. I have gathered enough photos to give you a flavour too.
Enjoy and I will be back with lots more, soon. (Also – see the end of the post for a piece that I did with Sky News this week on food apps :)
- Carrot cake (not carrot or a cake, but made with radish and delicious)
- Making paratha
I did a little piece for Sky News on food apps this week, which you can see here from about minute 11.
I visited Singapore as a guest of the Singapore Tourist Board
I am heading to Singapore in a few weeks and I cannot wait to get into all the amazing food there – what were your favourites?
I will blog them! :) I have a list of Top 10 things you should eat too.
Love your photos of Singapore life! I went there last year on my way to Australia and pretty much just ate my way through the 4-day stopover! The highlights were definitely the satay and, for some odd reason, the Merlion fountain which I had a strange fascination with. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Thanks, Helen! Very much enjoying but kicking myself that I didn’t stay longer. I will be back :)
Glad you like our food. It’s the thing I miss the most whenever I’m abroad!
I bet you do! Such a high standard and brilliant flavours everywhere.
Your photos are amazing! I’m envious!!
I love the food in Singapore. It is my favorite Asian food!
