My memories of Singapore will be forever tied to the variety of delicious foods available, and Ian’s hospitality. Many people will claim you can see the city in a day, however I found 4 days to be far too short to truly get a feel for the life and culture of this wonderful city/country.
Highlights -
- couchsurfing with Ian
- admiring the modern architecture
- holding my first snake
- Singapore Sling at The Long Bar
- eating Indian food with the restaurant owner, Ian and Waffa
- assaulting a crab dinner
- tasting Durian for the first time
- side trip to Malaysia
- eating….everything
- exploring the airport
Discoveries -
- it is possible to eat too much of a good thing
# of Nights Couchsurfing -
4
Eating -
A different traditional dish or cuisine for every meal and no western food for 4 days, crab, noodles, chicken, rice, Tiger beer, sugar cane juice, coconut water
Average Daily Budget -
$51

Yes the food looks awesome do you think it would have been a good stop if you had not been able to couchsurf and had a wonderful guide?
Nope, having a local made my time there much more efficient and easy-going.

The best thing about the food in Singapore is the mixture of the Chinese and Indian concept. Being roughly half way between these two great culinary nations has led to the creation of unique dishes and ways of preparing and presenting such delights.
No one has tasted the real Singapore cusine till they eat at the outdoor markets where the food is cooked in front of you amongst the hustle and bustle and Oooh the smells……. My mouth is already watering….
