A post today on the CNN International website reminds me of some of the meals I ate while visiting Singapore. The post lists five weird dishes that Singaporeans enjoy: Kacang Phool I’m no Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern. I am a bit adventurous with what I eat. I draw the […] I spent plenty of time in Singapore over the years, and I always enjoyed touring the food hawkers’ areas. My favorites were Tiong Bahru Market, Bukit Timah, Chomp Chomp Food Centre, People’s Park, and Lau Pa Sat. I never made it to Glutton’s Square, although the place is still legendary on the island and with […] The Chile Underground, your favorite food blog (that talks about chiles and travel, I mean), turns 200 today.
