It’s like India’s Mongolian Tanmen! Kothu Parotta, an excellent pairing of spicy curry and mutton, which I devoured eagerly! Parotta, a flat Indian bread with a layered texture like Danish pastry, is fluffy and filling! I am satisfied with the commemorative photo with the right-side Indian.
Seafood is delicious. Unhealthy food is also delicious. So, what if there’s unhealthy seafood? This fast food, Long John Silver's, answers that question. Greasy battered white fish and shrimp with ketchup, making my stomach feel down! Its impact surely comes from being American-born.
Taiwan's popular dessert, Aiyu Jelly. Chilled, slippery, and refreshing lemon flavor! Delicious! What?! The jelly is not made with gelatin but with pectin from the seeds of the fig-like plant Aiyu found only in Taiwan! Now I want to visit Taiwan!
Singapore is a dangerous country. One dish of bok choy sparked a love for China. The country’s diversity broadens interests, like an excellent teacher. Perhaps it’s bok choy with oyster sauce? The thick bok choy boiled with sesame oil and topped with rich sauce makes me crave endless rice!
The dish with a name dilemma. Is it Khao Man Gai? Hainanese chicken rice? If it’s delicious, who cares! In Thailand, it’s a national dish (according to us). The rice cooked in chicken broth and served with chicken is a red card offense! Singapore’s food culture is incredibly diverse, including Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Thai cuisine.
Truly delicious restaurants don’t need social media. Frog and porridge specialty shop in Singapore. Frog meat that melts in your mouth, in a soup with the complexity of herbs and root vegetable broth. Paired perfectly with the pure white porridge subtly scented with sesame oil. Customers spread the word with no need for advertising. The shop is Eminent Frog Porridge.
Alcohol is way too expensive in Singapore! A 500ml beer can costs between 500 and 1000 yen, making it feel like being under the Mahoton spell! The pork rib ABC soup I had tasted like leftovers, but as they say, there's fortune in leftovers. However, the Chinese shop owner treated me to Tiger Beer! Alcohol gifted while abstaining is too delicious! The owner gets five stars.
A vending machine made out of love for a son, IJOOZ SMART JUICER. The company IJOOZ was born in Singapore. The founder worked in the semiconductor industry for over ten years but developed this vending machine to easily provide his son with fresh orange juice despite technological advancements! The vending machine that embodies family love is here, offering freshly squeezed juice 24/7!
Bad restaurants tend to have extensive menus. They try to accommodate every customer request, leading to mediocrity. This place has only two dishes! Both use shellfish and bean sprouts. The crispy bean sprouts seem alive in my mouth, with the occasional perfect umami from the shellfish! The moderate spiciness makes me crave beer!
This vending machine I saw in Singapore feels like a sloppy reuse of a Japanese one. This time, it’s Red Bull Plus Zero Sugar High Vitamins. Fruity vitamin taste, easy to chug without carbonation! Contains up to 50% more vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12 than regular energy drinks, hence 50% less guilt.
