I'd write a song about food in Singapore but I suspect the lyrics would be a little unclear with a full mouth,.
Wednesday, they call them Tapas - I call them Magnifico. Rice, Tomato Broth soup, Beef medalions (size of a quarter and you can cut them with chopsticks) and veggies (no broccoli). Believe me when I say that Broccoli will NOT show up an my plate here.
Dinner. My Project Manager's Chinese wife (Tracy) arranged a great dinner at a place in China Town on Chinese New Years Eve. For folks in the states, Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is more important to the folks here than Christmas is to us. Seriously!!! And the symbolism is pervasive. Mandarin oranges given in pairs because odd numbers are unlucky. Red envelopes with money symbolizes generosity and it's almost equvalent to the Potlatches in the Pacific Northwest .
We stayed out until Midnite to ring in the new year and then returned to the hotel.
Today. No Work????? And Friday? and Saturday? and Sunday?
Had the pastrami at Durty Nellies - what a shock, Skipped Dinner.
Friday, Hokkien Mee at the Marriott in Orchard Road with a HUGE (Eileen please note) CEASAR SALAD.
Evening meal at Pizzaria Giardano's up in Chijmes. Pronounced Chimes.
Tomorrow, HOPONHOPOFF, DUCK, ZOO, NIGHT SAFARI Etc. Not sure if I'll have another chance.
