I was in Singapore for a total of 1.5 days. I ate 5 meals in quantities unheard of for a mild-mannered, gentle female. It
was EAT or MISS OUT! AND I COULD NOT MISS OUT. So eat I did.
 |
| For a very late lunch I had oyster omelette, char kwey tiao and a shrimp fritter at Maxwell |
 |
| The vendor gave me 2 chopsticks, thinking there were 2 of us eating |
After meandering around Chinatown looking for cheap shades (I left mine back home), I just had to soak in the hotel tub because strolling leisurely around flat, sunny Singapore is the equivalent of several hours' worth of uphill climbs on the treadmill. Every crevice and corner of one's body just gets soaked in perspiration. Even between the toes. :)
 |
| Dinner was at Pollen. Loved the plates! |
 |
| Dips, their version of airy chicharon, olives |
 |
| Roast "quail" brunch, foie gras on toast, cereals and quail tea |
 |
| Chef Jason Atherton's signature dish |
 |
| Back to front squid risotto, cauliflower, roasted squid consomme |
 |
| Butter poached lobster salad, tomato tartare, wild fennel, tomato water |
 |
| Roasted sea bream, cabaneros, fennel, bouillabaisse |
 |
| Roasted Brittany cod, cauliflower cheese puree, clam chowder, cauliflower and seaweed salt |
 |
| A refreshing drink at a very local hawker center |
 |
| Finally! Cereal prawns that don't taste like dessert! |
 |
| Razor clams with garlic |
 |
| My brother's favorite crab with noodles in soup |
 |
| Chili crabs for me- lacks spice though |
 |
| Bite-sized mantou, 4 of us finished off 15! |
 |
| Crispy baby squid |
 |
| Thank you to my brother and my college barkada for taking us here! |
|
When I met up with my Singapore-based brother and friend for lunch they brought us to a hawker center near housing estates, and there wasn't SINGLE TOURIST IN SIGHT. Definitely my kind of place.
 |
| Dinner starts with soup |
 |
| Followed by an appetizer |
 |
| Then the carbo loading begins--Chicken rice |
 |
| Hokkien mee |
 |
| And how could I not eat another oyster omelet? |
No more pictures of our 5th meal - breakfast. To gain my tummy flab's forgiveness I just had oatmeal.
