For the next 4 days, we roamed around Singapore. Here are
some random shots of the delectable Singapore food that I sampled over the
course of 4 days.
Chinatown was a cool spot that we checked out, with lots of casual food stands and shops.

Singapore is known for its chili crab but since we had
dinner plans, we opted for a snack.
Chili sauce with roti (bread). Freshly toasted bread is dipped into the sauce which is thick and had a
glutinous nature to it. It’s called chili sauce but it is not overly spicy and in fact has a sweetness to it.
One
of my favorite streetside items is the roti ice cream. There are guys with a
refrigerated cart on sidewalks who will make up your ice cream sandwich to your
preference (kind of like CoolHaus truck).
The key is to always get the multi-colored pandan roti although you can also opt for the wafer. My all time favorite is the yam ice cream on roti. The fresh soft bread
was slightly sweet with a coconutty flavoring, and soaked in all the ice cream – great snack in the humid city. My other favorite flavors are the sweet corn and durian. At SGD$1 (US$0.80) a piece, you can definitely afford a couple.
Pigs feet with wonton noodles We had this dish for breakfast which is more of a Chinese dish than traditional Singaporean. It's definitely puzzling to my Caucasian travel partners when they see us eat full-on meals of noodles or rice for breakfast. The pigs feet was fatty, gelatinous and had lots of bones. The fiancé
watched as I sucked off every last fat and cartilage off the bone. He’s definitely a
keeper for wanting to still get married to me!
Not only is Singapore clean, but they put a lot of effort
into building the flora and fauna aspect of the environment. For example, the
Singapore Changi Airport has a cactus garden which is lush and gorgeous.
The food in Singapore is amazing, even airport food is top
notch. Nasi lemak is a Malay
dish and was served in a sturdy to-go box with a huge fried chicken leg (ayam goreng) that was marinated
in spices, deep fried fish, hard boiled egg, cucumbers, a large dollop of spicy
sambal sauce and rice infused with coconut.
