A Food Tour of Singapore

So I've just returned from a trip to Singapore with my friend Pippa visiting our other friend Prue where we have done many fun and exciting things however nothing more, than my favourite pastime, eating.
Myself and Pippa sampling Singapore Chili Crab, Chinatown.
Restaurants, bars, hawker markets, home cooked treats, street stalls... the lot. Highlights  have included a warm and delicious meal with friends at Italian restaurant, "No Menu", pre dinner crab rolls and tempura prawns at "Kinky" a youthful and beautifully positioned bar which doesn't take itself too seriously, the mouthwateringly good soupy dumplings at "Din Tai Fung", chili crab at a market in Chinatown and delicious roti prata at "Mr Prata". And then there was the wonderfully light and fragrant salmon and roasted salad served to Pippa on I arrival from Prue's generous and kind helper Bernie.

Then there was the outstandingly good ramen and gyoza courtesy of unfussy and small cafe "Miharu Sapporo" at the Gallery Hotel at Robertson Quay which beat previous record holder on my book of "Best Ramen" sampled in January in Grand Hirafu, Japan.
Pork Ramen in miso broth.
Gyoza.
And then there was the toasted ham and Gouda sandwich at the Hollandse Club... And I also discovered that favorite ice creamery of mine "Cold Rock" at the glam new Marina Bay Sands. Always worth a drop in. My tip? The Aussie Vanilla ice cream with smashed Oreos, Maltesers and Mars Bar.
