I must say, my absolute favorite thing about Singapore has to be the food; there’s a ton of variety (Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, American for starters) to be had and the prices are totally worth it.
Case in point: the duck rice (and soup, gratis!) below.
Grand total? $3 SGD, which translates to $2.16 USD. Back in NY, $2.16 could probably buy me the soup, but definitely not the duck nor the rice.
Anyway, I think we could all use a bit more food porn in our lives, so without further ado…

Sometimes happiness is going on a Ferris wheel ride, walking along the quay side, eating my way to a food coma, window-shopping, and taking photos of all of the above.
And so describes my first 12 hours in Singapore. Warm weather (compared to the usual slosh in NY) and so much good food to pick? I’m pretty much set for the next two days!
Because I’m one of those weird people that prefers to eat dessert first, this photo goes before all other food photos, hah! This was apple gelato with a hand-painted white chocolate coating made to look like an apple. The best part was definitely the chocolate “core” in the middle, hands down.
Has it really been 10 months since I last blogged? Oy.
To make up for lost time, I present to you 2009 in picture form! (click the images to enlarge)
I went to London mid-March with my friend, where we ate lots of scones, Pret sandwiches, and Wagamama noodles. Since I had never been to the UK, I hit up all the usual tourist-y spots and museums. Suffice to say, it was a much-needed break from my midterms. And I still miss clotted cream.
The Green Tea Ginger Ale isn’t exactly a staple of my college diet, but the heap of papers and books in the background should give you an idea of the problem sets, papers, and midterms I had throughout the semester. Anyway, moving on to more pleasant things!
