This Singapore trip is fattening despite the fact that we keep walking from all directions. Food is everywhere, and ironically, there are also an abundant supply of women's dresses that do not seem to fit me, lol.. Such displays for shorter and much petite women. Frustrating as it may seem but, I take it as a sign that I need to scrimp on teh food to give room to shopping--- wahahaha..

On second thought, we are here to assimilate the culture and be one with the people. And food is, after all, a part of cultural heritage and somehow it is in food where the uniqueness of a people are noticed. So we went our way sampling different foods here and there. Malay food, Indonesian Food, Chinese and of course, the local delicacies that abound. I got to taste the difference in food that speaks clearly of the difference in cultural heritage. For instance, the Rojak from an Indian/Malay restaurant compared to a Singaporean shop.

Which is better?

They are actually the same in weight.. Differs in color, texture and ingredients.. The Malay/Indian Rojak is more like a viand, while the Singaporean is like a snack cum appetizer. Although, I find the Singaporean Rojak to be better because of the peanuts and the vegetables in it---
