Day 3. Saturday, January 14, 2006. Poh Seng and Swee Chin took us to the Bedok South Hawker Centre for brunch, with dozens of food kiosks and a market. We enjoyed a variety of authentic ethnic foods, all delicious, including this roti prata bread, created before our eyes. This evening our hosts were Bob and Goretti, who showed us a wonderful time in Chinatown. (Yes, Singapore has a Chinatown). First we visited the Chinatown Heritage Centre, a marvelous little museum depicting the harsh life of the early migrants who first settled Singapore. Later we joined the huge crowds who were on the streets enjoying the buildup to the fast approaching Chinese New Year.
This huge lantern, one of many adorning the streets, heralds the coming “Year of the Dog”. Bob and Goretti’s daughter, Marisa and her friend Nicholas joined us for supper. We enjoyed an excellent selection of authentic Chinese cuisine, including an unforgettable “snake head fish soup”. (Undoubtedly better than fish head snake soup.) Hey, kids, I vowed that I would try everything, and it’s all been delicious.Bob’s Blog
