After our stint in Kuala Lumpur, we figured we were close enough to Singapore that we could hop over and eat some more good food and check out the clean city before going down to Indonesia. The only thing on my to-do list was to visit a hawker center to get some cheap Singapore food, and check out the downtown area with its famed dirt-free streets and well-structured buildings. That's it. We weren't disappointed. I am curious as to how much money has gone into that city! The hawker centers are basically warehouses filled with different food vendors, all for very cheap. The food is similar to food from Kuala Lumpur; heavily influenced by Chinese and Indian cuisine. Lots of noodles and rice, of course, usually topped with chicken, pork, duck, or fish, some sort of spicy sauce to dip in. We ate as much as we could. I think my favorite was braised pork and chicken over rice with spinach. Oh yeah, in Malaysia we had bullfrog (tastes like chicken) and stingray (doesn't taste like chicken). At night, we hung around the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, located across a bay, to watch a light show put on. Maybe next time I go to Singapore (in October), I will go to the top of the Hotel and swim in their pool : O.
